nanolib 0.4

Python library for working with the NANO cryptocurrency protocol

nanolib

[](https://pypi.org/project/nanolib/) [](https://codecov.io/gh/Matoking/nanolib) [](https://travis-ci.com/Matoking/nanolib) [](https://nanolib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest)

A set of tools for handling functions related to the NANO cryptocurrency protocol.

Features

• Solve and verify proof-of-work

• Create and deserialize legacy and universal blocks

• Account generation from seed using the same algorithm as the original NANO wallet and NanoVault

• Functions for converting between different NANO denominations

• High performance cryptographic operations using C extensions (signing and verifying blocks, and generating block proof-of-work) * Proof-of-work generation supports SSE2, SSSE3, SSE4.1, AVX and NEON instruction sets for improved performance. The best supported implementation is selected at runtime with a fallback implementation with universal compatibility.

• Backed by automated tests

• Compatible with Python 3.6 and up

• Licensed under the very permissive Creative Commons Zero license

Installation

You can install the library using pip:

` pip install nanolib `

nanolib requires a working build environment for the C extensions. For example, on Debian-based distros you can install the required Python header files and a C compiler using the following command:

` apt install build-essential python3-dev `

Documentation

An online copy of the documentation can be found at [Read the Docs](https://nanolib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).

You can also build the documentation yourself by running python setup.py build_sphinx.

Commands

The setup.py script comes with a few additional commands besides installation:

• build_sphinx * Build the documentation in build/sphinx/html.

• test * Run tests using pytest

• speed * Run a benchmark testing the performance of various cryptographic operations used in the library.
