Bitbox-py: A Python SDK for creating great Bitcoin Cash applications

Bitbox-py is the Python port of Gabriel Cardona's great Bitcoin Cash Javascript SDK Bitbox.

I ported Bitbox to Python to make Bitcoin Cash more accessible to developers and therefore to the world.

Usage

Install Bitbox-py using Pip:

pip install bitbox-py

Documentation

Everything is basically the same as Bitbox-sdk, except methods are not using camelCase in order to fit with Python's style.

You can refer to the official Documentation.

Example:

Javascript:

import { BITBOX } from 'bitbox-sdk'

let bitbox = new BITBOX();

let result = bitbox.Address.toLegacyAddress('bitcoincash:qrxjktfjdse3ll0ttrll20gykuhqjw764queg3w2tj');

console.log(result);
// 1KhqFHWHUoJ72tuQCkhV1m1Sk7bXCiKJgN

Python:

import bitbox

result = bitbox.Address.to_legacy_address('bitcoincash:qrxjktfjdse3ll0ttrll20gykuhqjw764queg3w2tj')

print(result)
# 1KhqFHWHUoJ72tuQCkhV1m1Sk7bXCiKJgN

OR import by class:

from bitbox import Address

result = Address.to_legacy_address('bitcoincash:qrxjktfjdse3ll0ttrll20gykuhqjw764queg3w2tj')

print(result)
# 1KhqFHWHUoJ72tuQCkhV1m1Sk7bXCiKJgN
