Sweep function

[nyxynyx]

Is there a method for using the monero-wallet-cli sweep_all command to transfer all the funds from the current wallet to another wallet?

Currently it's not available, because I assumed that command is rarely used in automated environment. However, the implementation should be straightforward, so I'll try to include it in the next release.

I need this function too. Since now monero have accounts system, my service needs transfer fund between accounts. I could not figure out a reliable way to withdraw all balance without use weep_all. I guess I have to calculating the tx size * fee/kb. But did not figure out.

An alternative is to call transfer() with relay=False. The resulting transaction won't be submitted to the network but you may learn the fee amount from it and recalculate amounts again. Of course, this is a nasty workaround and prone to bugs (recalculating amount may include different set of UTXOs, changing the size and resulting fee of the transaction).

I'll add it ASAP.

I would also prefer sweep_all over this method. Are there still plans to implement it?

It has been added. Feel free to test it. I'll also run some additional checks and release it this week.
