Prerequisites:

• Version : grin-wallet 5.0.0 RC1
• Darwin MacBook-Pro-de-Workstation.local 19.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 19.5.0: Tue May 26 20:41:44 PDT 2020; root:xnu-6153.121.2~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

Step 1 (Runs the wallet's local web API)

grin-wallet owner_api
Password: 
20201220 07:55:46.473 WARN grin_wallet_controller::controller - Starting HTTP Foreign API on Owner server at 127.0.0.1:3420.
20201220 07:55:46.473 WARN grin_wallet_controller::controller - Starting HTTP Owner API server at 127.0.0.1:3420.
20201220 07:55:46.473 WARN grin_wallet_controller::controller - HTTP Owner listener started

HTTP Owner successfully started.

Create a new wallet "wallet2"

Before runnning the script, we need to make sure to edit the configuration.

change to your grin owner_api sercret file

api_sercet_file = '/Users/path/.grin/main/.owner_api_secret'

change to you wallet password

wallet_password = 'xxx'

call this following function at the end of wallet_v3.py

pp.pprint(wallet.create_wallet("password", "wallet2", None, mnemonic_length=32))

python3 /Users/workstation/Downloads/grin.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/workstation/Downloads/grin.py", line 471, in <module>
    pp.pprint(wallet.create_wallet("password", "wallet3", None, mnemonic_length=32))
  File "/Users/workstation/Downloads/grin.py", line 437, in create_wallet
    resp = self.post_encrypted('create_wallet', params)
  File "/Users/workstation/Downloads/grin.py", line 93, in post_encrypted
    raise WalletError(method, params, response_json["error"]["code"], response_json["error"]["message"])
__main__.WalletError: Callng create_wallet with params {'password': 'password', 'name': 'wallet3', 'mnemonic': None, 'mnemonic_length': 32} failed with error code -32099 because: WalletSeedExists: Wallet seed already exists at: /Users/workstation/.grin/main/wallet_data

the command seems to work fine, but i already have an existing wallet. we need to add another function maybe to have the option to choose another path

---

in the python file, please check line 435 and replace 'mnemonic_length=': by 'mnemonic_length':

@bladedoyle , @mojitoo made some suggestions for the API wrapper, would you review and if you find them reasonable, make update?
