tx-engine 0.9.0

This library provides a Python interface for building BitcoinSV scripts and transactions.

TX Engine

Python interface for building Bitcoin SV scripts and transactions. The native core is the Rust chain-gang library.

Requires Python 3.11+. Install from PyPI:

pip install tx-engine

Quick example

from tx_engine import Tx

src_tx = (
    "0100000001c7151ebaf14dbfe922bd90700a7580f6db7d5a1b898ce79cb9ce459e17f1290900000000"

    "96795fb99fd6c0f214f7a0e96019f642225f52d288ac00000000"
)

tx = Tx.parse_hexstr(src_tx)
print(tx)

Chronicle upgrade

Bitcoin SV Chronicle is supported in both the Rust library and Python bindings. Guide: docs/Chronicle-Python.md.

Chronicle script rules apply when tx.version > 1. Use version: 2 (or higher) on spending transactions to opt in.

Check	Python API
Version-only (offline / mempool-style)	Tx.validate(utxos)
Consensus at a known block height	Tx.validate_at_height(utxos, block_height, network) — network is BSV_Mainnet, BSV_Testnet, or BSV_STN
Script debugger / partial eval	Context(tx_version=2, lock_script=...)

See docs/Chronicle.md for sighash routing, opcodes, two-phase evaluation, malleability rules, and script number limits.

HD wallets

BIP-32 / BIP-39 / BIP-44 support via HdWallet and watch-only HdWatchWallet. Guide: docs/BIP-32-Python.md.

from tx_engine import HdWallet, bsv_coin_type

hd = HdWallet.from_mnemonic("BSV_Mainnet", "abandon abandon ... about")
print(hd.address_at_bip44(bsv_coin_type(), 0, True, 0))
