JSON error while creating raw transaction with Python

[arosca]

I've been trying to create a raw transaction over JSON-RPC using Python and can't figure out why I receive this error:

Code:

>>> client.createrawtransaction([{'txid': 'e1e5775f467a2803a4ebc6e17f223617062d9a98a953d5eaef06ab9ae0b2a400', 'vout': 17.9995}], {'mtBA36egrarxkCuzu64e7EtuwUUphS8GWn': 17.999})

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#42>", line 1, in <module>
    client.createrawtransaction([{'txid': 'e1e5775f467a2803a4ebc6e17f223617062d9a98a953d5eaef06ab9ae0b2a400', 'vout': 17.9995}], {'mtBA36egrarxkCuzu64e7EtuwUUphS8GWn': 17.999})

JSONRPCException

vout is an integer index into the transaction referenced by txid.  It can't be 17.9995.

if you run:

Code:

listunspent

you should get a list of unspent outputs that your wallet has the ability to spend.

Each unspent output will have a "txid" value and a "vout" value.  These are the two pieces of information that you have to supply to createrawtransaction if you want to spend that output.

Duh... Thank you very much.

For reference, here is code that worked:

Code:

client.createrawtransaction([{'txid': 'e1e5775f467a2803a4ebc6e17f223617062d9a98a953d5eaef06ab9ae0b2a400', 'vout': 0}, {'txid': 'e1e5775f467a2803a4ebc6e17f223617062d9a98a953d5eaef06ab9ae0b2a400', 'vout': 1}], {'mtBA36egrarxkCuzu64e7EtuwUUphS8GWn':17.9998})
