A python library for interacting with the Algorand network.
Run $ pip3 install py-algorand-sdk to install the package.
Alternatively, choose a distribution file, and run $ pip3 install [file name].
Run tests with make docker-test
Here's a simple example you can run without a node.
from algosdk import account, encoding
# generate an account
private_key, address = account.generate_account()
print("Private key:", private_key)
print("Address:", address)
# check if the address is valid
if encoding.is_valid_address(address):
print("The address is valid!")
else:
print("The address is invalid.")Follow the instructions in Algorand's developer resources to install a node on your computer.
Before running example.py, start kmd on a private network or testnet node:
$ ./goal kmd start -d [data directory]
Next, create a wallet and an account:
$ ./goal wallet new [wallet name] -d [data directory]
$ ./goal account new -d [data directory] -w [wallet name]
Visit the Algorand dispenser and enter the account address to fund your account.
Next, in tokens.py, either update the tokens and addresses, or provide a path to the data directory.
You're now ready to run example.py!
