lndpy

Modern pythonic bindings for the lightning network daemon (lnd).

Features

• Standard lnd gRPC bindings built natively as part of the CI pipeline from the latest released version. No more copy-pasta.
• Supports Python 3.6+
• Pythonic interface to auto-generated gRPC functions (coming soon)
• Documentation generated automatically from gRPC binding docs (coming soon)

Installation

Install as usual with pip or any other packaging tool of choice from PyPI:

$ pip install lndpy

Usage

Example usage:

from lndpy import Lnd
info = Lnd().get_info()
print(info)

Development

pipenv is the recommended tool of choice for local development. First, checkout the git repository. Then, create and sync a new virtualenv with the development dependencies:

$ git clone https://github.com/yuvadm/lndpy
$ cd lndpy
$ pipenv sync --dev

As an optional step, install pre-commit hooks:

$ pipenv run pre-commit install

Next, fetch and build the lnd proto files:

$ pipenv run buildprotos

In order to build the gRPC .proto files you will also need https://github.com/googleapis/googleapis checked out next to lndpy.

Run the tests to ensure they were built properly:

$ pipenv run test
