iroha-python

Python library for Hyperledger Iroha.

Install

Supported Python versions: 2.7 and 3.6 (see tox.ini). Multiple Python versions can be installed with your system package manager or with the pyenv tool. The pyenv itself can also be installed with a system package manager or with the pyenv-installer script.

Develop

Interactive shell

Run tox -e dev to get an IPython shell in a virtual environment with all dependencies installed.

New dependencies

After adding a new dependency, include it into the install_requires option of the setup.py script.

Python 2 compatibility

Familiarize yourself with the Python compatibility guidelines and supporting packages:

• Porting Python 2 Code to Python 3
• Writing code that runs under both Python2 and 3
• The future package
• The six package

Put the following at the top of all your Python files (after a docstring and file-wide comments):

from __future__ import (absolute_import, division,
                        print_function, unicode_literals)

Test

tox tests the package under different virtual environments and with different Python versions. Simply execute the tox command to run all tests in all supported environments.

Compile proto

cd protoc; python -m grpc_tools.protoc -I. --python_out=. --grpc_python_out=. api.proto

*Future replace protobuf with flatbuffer ('A')/
