python-lnd-grpc 0.0.8.5

grpc client for lnd python version 3.6+

## Install python package locally from pypi:

import python_lnd_grpc

## Initiate the connector class

lightning = python_lnd_grpc.LNDMethods() walletunlocker = python_lnd_grpc.WalletUnlocker()

## Use methods

info = lightning.getinfo() print(info)

## Method naming All methods mentioned in https://api.lightning.community/#lnd-grpc-api-reference are fully lowercase in python_lnd_grpc library. For example AbandonChannel request relates to method abandonchannel()

## Custom connector object

User can modify connector object in cases when connection to remote lnd node is needed (instead of local one), specifying custom parameters, like paths and file names:

lightning = python_lnd_grpc.LNDMethods(

tls_file_path = “~/.lnd/”, tls_file_name = “remote.cert”, custom_tls_path_full = “~/.lnd/fullpath.cert”, macaroon_filename = “remote.macaroon”, macaroon_path = “~/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/”, custom_macaroon_path_full = “~/.lnd/data/chain/bitcoin/mainnet/full_path.macaroon”, grpc_host = “192.168.0.199”, grpc_port = “10009”, network = “mainnet”, output = “json-none-included”, macaroon_bytes = “bytes”, tls_file_bytes = “bytes”)

Different types of output will result in either:

• grpc class output output = None

• json string without NOT initialized arguments output = json

• dictionary without NOT initialized arguments output = dictionary

• json string with NOT initialized arguments output = json-none-included

• dictionary with NOT initialized arguments output = dictionary-none-included

In case of connecting to remote lnd node, the grpc setting in lnd.conf has to be set to listening:

rpclisten=0.0.0.0:10009
