pybtctools

Python library for Bitcoin signatures and transactions

Features:

• Functions have a simple interface, inputting and outputting in standard formats
• Many functions can be taken out and used individually
• Supports binary, hex and base58
• Transaction deserialization format almost compatible with BitcoinJS
• Electrum and BIP0032 support
• Make and publish a transaction all in a single command line instruction
• Includes non-bitcoin-specific conversion and JSON utilities

Disadvantages:

• Not a full node, has no idea what blocks are
• Relies on centralized service (blockchain.info) for blockchain operations, although operations do have backups (eligius, blockr.io). (Deprecated, please don't rely on these functions, we're working on replace the current API calls)

Usage:

  from bitcoin import *

  priv = sha256('some big long brainwallet password')
  print(priv)
  # 57c617d9b4e1f7af6ec97ca2ff57e94a28279a7eedd4d12a99fa11170e94f5a4'

  pub = privtopub(priv)
  print(pub)

  addr = pubtoaddr(pub)
  print(addr)
  # '1CQLd3bhw4EzaURHbKCwM5YZbUQfA4ReY6'
