Lightweight Python Client library for the Aleph.im network
Project description
aleph-sdk-python
Python SDK for the Aleph.im network, next generation network of decentralized big data applications.
Development follows the Aleph Whitepaper.
Documentation
Documentation (albeit still vastly incomplete as it is a work in progress) can be found at http://aleph-sdk-python.readthedocs.io/ or built from this repo with:
$ python setup.py docs
Requirements
Linux
Some cryptographic functionalities use curve secp256k1 and require installing libsecp256k1.
$ apt-get install -y python3-pip libsecp256k1-dev
Using some chains may also require installing libgmp3-dev
.
macOs
This project does not support Python 3.12 on macOS. Please use Python 3.11 instead.
$ brew tap cuber/homebrew-libsecp256k1
$ brew install libsecp256k1
Installation
Using pip and PyPI:
$ pip install aleph-sdk-python[ethereum,solana,tezos]
Installation for development
To install from source and still be able to modify the source code:
$ pip install -e .[testing]
or
$ python setup.py develop
Usage with LedgerHQ hardware
The SDK supports signatures using app-ethereum, the Ethereum app for the Ledger hardware wallets.
This has been tested successfully on Linux (amd64). Let us know if it works for you on other operating systems.
Using a Ledger device on Linux requires root access or the setup of udev rules.
Unlocking the device is required before using the relevant SDK functions.
Debian / Ubuntu
Install ledger-wallets-udev.
sudo apt-get install ledger-wallets-udev
On NixOS
Configure hardware.ledger.enable = true
.
