Do you know the Monero crytocurrency? It’s a cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin, focused on the security, the privacy and the untracabily. That’s a great project launched in 2014, today called XMR on all cryptocurrency exchange platforms (like Kraken or Poloniex).
So what’s new? In order to work with a Monero wallet from some Python applications, I just wrote a Python library to use the Monero wallet: PyMoneroWallet
- The PyMoneroWallet project on Github
- Official documentation of the PyMoneroWallet project
- The 0.1 (first) release of PyMoneroWallet
Using PyMoneroWallet is as easy as:
$ python3
>>> from monerowallet import MoneroWallet
>>> mw = MoneroWallet()
>>> mw.getbalance()
{'unlocked_balance': 2262265030000, 'balance': 2262265030000}Lots of features are included, you should have a look at the documentation of the monerowallet module to know them all, but quickly here are some of them:
- transfers() to send Monero
- getbalance() to know how much Monero you own
- getaddress() to get your public Monero address
And so on. Have a look at the complete documentation for extensive available functions.
UPDATE: I’m trying to launch a crowdfunding of the PyMoneroWallet project. Feel free to comment in this thread of the official Monero forum to let them know you think that PyMoneroWallet is a great idea 😉
Feel free to contribute to this starting project to help spreading the Monero use by using the PyMoneroWallet project with your Python applications 🙂
