Question: how to sign serialisation of unsigned tx about pycoin HOT 3 CLOSED

I can get a Tx object from this, but not an UnsignedTx.

UnsignedTx is a custom type that I made up, so it won't be easy to use that type. No matter what you do, you're going to have to get the "Spendable" TxOut outputs that correspond to this transaction's TxIn inputs.

I'm working on a rewrite of how signing works (sponsored by coinsafe.com) that should make things easier. Although not API-stable, take a look at https://github.com/richardkiss/pycoin/tree/offline_tx. As of 19fa9c2 you can do the following:

1. Load the input Txs into a dictionary tx_db using tx_cache.tx_for_hash (this will fetch the Txs from blockchain.info, although it can be configured to use blockr.io).
2. For your parsed Tx tx, call tx.use unspents_from_db(tx_db) using the tx_db.
3. Build hash160_lookup using tx/script/solvers/build_hash160_lookup_db
4. Call tx.sign(hash160_lookup)

I believe this will work.

This could be made easier by combining steps 1 and 2 with an adaptor but I haven't done that work yet. (It's more of an organization problem than a programming one.)

Got it. Thanks!
