Litecoin module for use with python-bitcointx
Project description
This Python3 library implements support for Litecoin transactions.
It builds on top, and is intended to be used along with python-bitcointx library.
Requirements
- python-bitcointx (version >= 1.0.0)
Usage:
With contextual switch to Litecoin parameters:
import os
import litecointx
from bitcointx import ChainParams, get_current_chain_params
from bitcointx.wallet import (
CCoinKey, CCoinExtKey, P2WPKHCoinAddress, CCoinAddress
)
with ChainParams('litecoin'):
k = CCoinExtKey.from_seed(os.urandom(32))
a = P2WPKHCoinAddress.from_pubkey(k.derive_path("m/0h/0h/1").pub)
print('example {} address: {}'.format(get_current_chain_params().NAME, a))
assert CCoinAddress(str(a)) == a
With global switch to Litecoin parameters:
from litecointx import LitecoinMainnetParams
from bitcointx import select_chain_params
select_chain_params('litecoin')
# or, using the chain params class directly
select_chain_params(LitecoinMainnetParams)
Without the switch of chain parameters:
from litecointx.wallet import P2SHLitecoinLegacyAddress, P2SHLitecoinAddress
legacy_adr = P2SHLitecoinLegacyAddress('3F1c6UWAs9RLN2Mbt5bAJue12VhVCorXzs')
canonical_adr = P2SHLitecoinAddress.from_scriptPubKey(legacy_adr.to_scriptPubKey())
assert str(canonical_adr) == 'MMDkQMv8pGGmAXdVyxaW8YtQMCHw7eouma'
With special parameter that makes CCoinAddress to decode legacy p2sh addresses:
from bitcointx import select_chain_params
from bitcointx.wallet import CCoinAddress
from litecointx.wallet import P2SHLitecoinLegacyAddress
select_chain_params('litecoin', allow_legacy_p2sh=True)
legacy_adr = CCoinAddress('3F1c6UWAs9RLN2Mbt5bAJue12VhVCorXzs')
assert isinstance(legacy_adr, P2SHLitecoinLegacyAddress)
this also works with ChainParams context manager.
