Carl Chenet: PyMoneroWallet: the Python library for the Monero wallet

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.

Feel free to contribute to this starting project to help spreading the Monero use by using the PyMoneroWallet project with your Python applications
