Getting Started with Python
Security
In a production setup, do not store passwords in the host's environment variables or in the source code. For reference, review our backup and security recommendations for production setups.
Installation
To get the python binding working, you need to leverage pre-built python libraries for linux, MacOs, or Windows. You can install these to your python environment (3.6+) using pip . The binding is automatically generated using GitHub actions.
You can download the latest artifacts for a major python version using the nighly.link service.
- Download zip file for the given os and pyversion.
- Unpack wheel file ( .whl ).
- Install it via pip by running the following command:
pip install <wheel_file>
Once it has been installed, you can double-check the installation using pip :
pip list
The pip list should now include the iota-wallet-python-binding:
Package Version
-------------------------- -------
iota-wallet-python-binding 0.1.0
Once your python environment has installed the iota-wallet-python-binding
, you can start developing using the python binding.
Usage
To use the iota_wallet you will need to add an import statement:
import iota_wallet
If you'd like more information on the iota_wallet, you can print the documentation using the following snippet:
print(iota_wallet.__doc__)
