Python library and commandline client for communicating with TREZOR Hardware Wallet

See https://trezor.io for more information

Install

Python-trezor requires Python 3.3 or higher, and libusb 1.0. The easiest way to install it is with pip. The rest of this guide assumes you have a working pip; if not, you can refer to this guide.

Trezor T only

On a typical Linux / Mac / BSD system, you already have all you need. Install trezor with:

pip3 install --upgrade setuptools
pip3 install trezor

On Windows, you also need to install libusb and the appropriate drivers. This is, unfortunately, a topic bigger than this README.

Trezor One support

In addition to the above, you need to install development headers for HIDAPI.

On a Debian or Ubuntu based system, you can install these:

sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-pip cython3 libusb-1.0-0-dev libudev-dev

When installing the trezor library, you need to specify that you want hidapi:

pip3 install --upgrade setuptools
pip3 install trezor[hidapi]

Ethereum support

Ethereum requires additional python packages. Instead of pip3 install trezor, specify pip3 install trezor[ethereum].

You can combine it with the above, to get both HIDAPI and Ethereum support:

pip3 install trezor[ethereum,hidapi]

FreeBSD

On FreeBSD you can install the packages:

pkg install security/py-trezor

or build via ports:

cd /usr/ports/security/py-trezor
make install clean

Command line client (trezorctl)

The included trezorctl python script can perform various tasks such as changing setting in the Trezor, signing transactions, retrieving account info and addresses. See the docs/ sub folder for detailed examples and options.

NOTE: An older version of the trezorctl command is available for Debian Stretch (and comes pre-installed on Tails OS).

Python Library

You can use this python library to interact with a Bitcoin Trezor and use its capabilities in your application. See examples here in the tools/ sub folder.

PIN Entering

When you are asked for PIN, you have to enter scrambled PIN. Follow the numbers shown on TREZOR display and enter the their positions using the numeric keyboard mapping:

789
456
123

Example: your PIN is 1234 and TREZOR is displaying the following:

283
546
791

You have to enter: 3795

Contributing

Python-trezor pulls coins info and protobuf messages from trezor-common repository. If you are developing new features for Trezor, you will want to start there. Once your changes are accepted to trezor-common, you can make a PR against this repository. Don't forget to update the submodule with:

git submodule update --init --remote

Then, rebuild the protobuf messages and get coins.json by running:

python3 setup.py prebuild

To get support for BTC-like coins, these steps are enough and no further changes to the library are necessary.

Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog.

At the moment, the project does not adhere to Semantic Versioning. That is expected to change with version 1.0.

0.10.2 - 2018-06-21

Added

  • stellar_get_address and _public_key functions support show_display parameter
  • trezorctl: stellar_get_address and _public_key commands for the respective functionality

Removed

  • trezorctl: list_coins is removed because we no longer parse the relevant protobuf field (and newer Trezor firmwares don't send it) #277

Fixed

  • test support module was not included in the release, so code relying on the deprecated ckd_public module would fail #280

0.10.1 - 2018-06-11

Fixed

  • previous release fails to build on Windows #274

0.10.0 - 2018-06-08

Added

  • Lisk support #197
  • Stellar support #167, #268
  • Wanchain support #230
  • support for "auto lock delay" feature
  • TrezorClient takes an additional argument state that allows reusing the previously entered passphrase #241
  • USB transports mention udev rules in exception messages #245
  • log.enable_debug_output function turns on wire logging, instead of having to use TrezorClientVerbose
  • BIP32 paths now support 123h in addition to 123' to indicate hardening
  • trezorctl: -p now supports prefix search for device path #226
  • trezorctl: smarter handling of firmware updates #242, #269

Changed

  • reorganized transports and moved into their own transport submodule
  • protobuf messages and coins info is now regenerated at build time from the trezor-common repository #248
  • renamed ed25519raw to _ed25519 to indicate its privateness
  • renamed ed25519cosi to cosi and expanded its API
  • protobuf messages are now logged through Python's logging facility instead of custom printing through VerboseWireMixin
  • client.format_protobuf is moved to protobuf.format_message
  • tools.Hash is renamed to tools.btc_hash
  • coins module coins_txapi is renamed to tx_api.
    coins_slip44 is renamed to slip44.
  • build: stricter flake8 checks
  • build: split requirements to separate files
  • tests: unified finding test device, while respecting TREZOR_PATH env variable.
  • tests: auto-skip appropriately marked tests based on Trezor device version
  • tests: only show wire output when run with -v
  • tests: allow running xfailed tests selectively based on pytest.ini
  • docs: updated README with clearer install instructions #185
  • docs: switched changelog to Keep a Changelog format #94

Deprecated

  • ckd_public is only maintained in tests.support submodule and considered private
  • TrezorClient.expand_path is moved to plain function tools.parse_path
  • TrezorDevice is deprecated in favor of transport.enumerate_devices and transport.get_transport
  • XPUB-related handling in tools is slated for removal

Removed

  • most Python 2 compatibility constructs are gone #229
  • TrezorClientVerbose and VerboseWireMixin is removed
  • specific tx_api.TxApi* classes removed in favor of coins.tx_api
  • client.PRIME_DERIVATION_FLAG is removed in favor of tools.HARDENED_FLAG and tools.H_()
  • hard dependency on Ethereum libraries and HIDAPI is changed into extras that need to be specified explicitly. Require trezor[hidapi] or trezor[ethereum] to get them.

Fixed

  • WebUSB enumeration returning bad devices on Windows 10 #223
  • sign_tx operation sending empty address string #237
  • Wrongly formatted Ethereum signatures #236
  • protobuf layer would wrongly encode signed integers #249, #250
  • protobuf pretty-printing broken on Python 3.4 #256
  • trezorctl: Matrix recovery on Windows wouldn't allow backspace #207
  • aes_encfs_getpass.py: fixed Python 3 bug #169

0.9.1 - 2018-03-05

Added

  • proper support for Trezor model T
  • support for Monacoin
  • improvements to trezorctl:
    • add pretty-printing of features and protobuf debug dumps (fixes #199)
    • support TREZOR_PATH environment variable to preselect a Trezor device.

Removed

  • gradually dropping Python 2 compatibility (pypi package will now be marked as Python 3 only)
