Title: Python wrapper for bitcoind Post by: db on July 08, 2010, 11:50:43 PM While creating the Bitcoin automation for mullvad.net I made a python wrapper around bitcoind. Should anyone else find such a thing useful it is available here:
https://www.mullvad.net/download/bitcoin.py Usage example: >>> import bitcoin >>> bitcoin.getaddressesbylabel("foo") ['16au2i9ny5pnwCPnoekov2hHMhtS7qcFjR', '19BkB63mo3NQRPNeHkc3bWnKGBU7oL8Dp7'] >>> bitcoin.getreceivedbylabel("Your Address") 6.0 >>> bitcoin.listreceivedbyaddress() {'16au2i9ny5pnwCPnoekov2hHMhtS7qcFjR': {'amount': 2000.0, 'label': 'foo', 'confirmations': 226, 'address': '16au2i9ny5pnwCPnoekov2hHMhtS7qcFjR'}, '1FLD8wCNNBh2wg2mnGjD9ogoLaRxpSz7TW': {'amount': 6.0, 'label': 'Your Address', 'confirmations': 343, 'address': '1FLD8wCNNBh2wg2mnGjD9ogoLaRxpSz7TW'}} >>> bitcoin.sendtoaddress("1Nsq3itZULUZjtZGcjNrtZtwT8aMsHu1R1", 1234.5) >>> bitcoin.sendtoaddress("1Nsq3itZULUZjtZGcjNrtZtwT8aMsHu1R1", 1000000) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "bitcoin.py", line 73, in sendtoaddress _cmd("sendtoaddress %s %d %s %s" % (bitcoinaddress, amount, comment, comment_to)) File "bitcoin.py", line 86, in _cmd return _parse(_cmd_raw(args))[0] File "bitcoin.py", line 92, in _cmd_raw raise BitcoinError(errors) bitcoin.BitcoinError: error: Insufficient funds >>> Title: Re: Python wrapper for bitcoind Post by: NewLibertyStandard on July 09, 2010, 03:37:21 AM That's great!

Just a minor recommendation: given the ease with which you can catch errors in python, you might consider an except(BitcoinError) clause to gracefully fail when you have insufficient funds, or other error. Your original post showed this: Code: >>> bitcoin.sendtoaddress("1Nsq3itZULUZjtZGcjNrtZtwT8aMsHu1R1", 1000000)It should be pretty easy to produce something like this, instead: Code: >>> bitcoin.sendtoaddress("1Nsq3itZULUZjtZGcjNrtZtwT8aMsHu1R1", 1000000)Or whatever info/format-string you want, but those Traceback messages tend to scare users.

Title: Re: Python wrapper for bitcoind Post by: etotheipi on August 15, 2011, 12:13:46 AM I'm differentiating users from developers, here. I recognize the Tracebacks are useful for developers, but as a user, I don't plan to be debugging his code. Plus, this isn't the result of a bug--it's a legitimate validation failure response. Not a big deal, it was just a recommendation...
