bitcoin-python is a set of Python libraries that allows easy access to the bitcoin peer-to-peer cryptocurrency client API.

Documentation can be found here, or in the source archive. It is built using Sphinx:

bitcoin-python uses setuptools for the install script. There are no dependencies apart from Python itself.

$ python setup.py build
$ python setup.py install

It is possible to install the package through Pypi (cheeseshop), see http://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=display&name=bitcoin-python

$ pip install bitcoin-python

These things still have to be added:

• SSL support (including certificate verification) for managing remote bitcoin daemons.
