A set of core Algorand utilities written in Python and released via PyPi that make it easier to build solutions on Algorand. This project is part of AlgoKit.

The goal of this library is to provide intuitive, productive utility functions that make it easier, quicker and safer to build applications on Algorand. Largely these functions wrap the underlying Algorand SDK, but provide a higher level interface with sensible defaults and capabilities for common tasks.

Note If you prefer TypeScript there's an equivalent TypeScript utility library.
