Title: Is all of Electrum written in Python?
Post by: pf on December 17, 2015, 06:47:26 PM
Is the whole of Electrum written in Python? It's all simply a python program that I can download in its entirety from GitHub and then simply run with "python mainElectrumSourceFile.py"? Are there no components that need to be COMPILED? For instance, are none of the components written in C++ (for more security)?
