nanolib

A set of tools for handling functions related to the NANO cryptocurrency protocol.

Features

• Solve and verify proof-of-work
• Create and deserialize legacy and universal blocks
• Account generation from seed using the same algorithm as the original NANO wallet and NanoVault
• Functions for converting between different NANO denominations
• High performance cryptographic operations using C extensions (signing and verifying blocks, and generating block proof-of-work)
  • Proof-of-work generation supports SSE2, SSSE3, SSE4.1, AVX and NEON instruction sets for improved performance. The best supported implementation is selected at runtime with a fallback implementation with universal compatibility.
• Backed by automated tests
• Compatible with Python 3.6 and up
• Licensed under the very permissive Creative Commons Zero license

Installation

You can install the library using pip:

pip install nanolib

nanolib requires a working build environment for the C extensions. For example, on Debian-based distros you can install the required Python header files and a C compiler using the following command:

apt install build-essential python3-dev

Documentation

An online copy of the documentation can be found at Read the Docs.

You can also build the documentation yourself by running python setup.py build_sphinx.

Commands

The setup.py script comes with a few additional commands besides installation:

• build_sphinx
  • Build the documentation in build/sphinx/html.
• test
  • Run tests using pytest
• speed
  • Run a benchmark testing the performance of various cryptographic operations used in the library.
