py-Tendermint

A Python microframework for building blockchain applications with Tendermint

Inspired by Flask, py-tendermint makes it easy to quickly prototype a Tendermint ABCI application.

NOTE: the current version is broken due to ABCI changes For the interim, see py-abci

py-tendermint hides some of the repetitive setup for you by providing:

• A Patricia Trie backed by persistent storage
• Common Transaction model based on RLP (from Ethereum)
• RPC Client
• Accounts
• ed25519 Keys

If you want to stay closer to the metal, check out the Tendermint Python ABCI library: https://github.com/davebryson/py-abci

Requirements

• Python 3.6.x

• Tendermint engine (of course)

  Install

• python setup.py install (pip install in the future)

Install

• python setup.py install (pip install in the future)

Try it out

• Run Tendermint 'init': tendermint --home ~/.pytendermint init Note we use a different home directory. to keep all our blockchain apps seperated.
• In another terminal, start the app: python examples/simpleapp.py
• Now start tendermint: tendermint --home ~/.pytendermint node
• Finally, open another terminal and talk to the app: python examples/simpleapp_client.py
