hedera-sdk-py 2.2.0

Hedera SDK in Python

hedera-sdk-py

Hedera SDK in Python

This is basically a python wrapper of Hedera SDK in Java.

Install

pip install hedera-sdk-py

How to Use

from hedera import PrivateKey
prikey = PrivateKey.generate()
print("Private key: {}".format(prikey.toString()))
print("Public key: {}".format(prikey.getPublicKey().toString()))

You must make sure JAVA_HOME is set to a JRE/JDK that's >=11. Do a echo $JAVA_HOME on Linux/MacOS or echo %JAVA_HOME% on Windows to confirm.

On Windows, if you get "no jvm dll found" error, you need to add %JAVA_HOME%/bin/server (i.e. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.10\bin\server) to your path.

See examples for more example usages.

For most examples, you need to set OPERATOR_ID AND OPERATOR_KEY environment variables.

How to Build

(Ignore this section unless you want to contribute or make custom SDK)

Hedera-sdk-py requires JDK >=11, either OpenJDK or Oracle JDK.

Clone this repo:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/wensheng/hedera-sdk-py.git

Patch Java code:

patch -p 1 -d hedera-sdk-java < patches/v2.0.14.patch

To insure patching success, check out the java sdk version tag, then apply the patch that matches the tag. For example:

cd hedera-sdk-java
git checkout v2.0.14
cd ..
patch -p 1 -d hedera-sdk-java < patches/v2.0.14.patch

As of now (2021/4), the difference is very minimal, almost no java source code is changed, only build.gradle's are modified to ensure jar packaging. But in the future, java source code might be modified to provide convience for interacting with SDK in Python.

You can revert the patches:

cd hedera-sdk-java
git reset --hard

Build the Jar (make sure JAVA_HOME set to a JDK that's >=11):

cd hedera-sdk-java
./gradlew uberJar

Generate code:

python scripts/generate_code.py

Build package:

rm -fr build dist
python -m build

Test package (preferably inside a virtual env or pipenv):

pip uninstall hedera-sdk-py
pip install dist/hedera_sdk_py-(current_version)-py3-none-any.whl

Upload to Pypi (don't do this unless you're me):

python -m twine upload dist/*
