Are there any altcoins that are written in Python? I did some research and found coins written in many programming languages like C, C++, Node.js, Java, someone even tried to create one in RoR, except Python.

Do you mean coins, or coin libraries? There's a Python library for Bitcoin ( https://github.com/petertodd/python-bitcoinlib ) which you can use a wrapper library ( https://github.com/rnicoll/python-altcoinlib ) to make altcoin compatible (okay, so it works with Doge for now, I'll try to add more later).

I mean coins that were written completely in Python, as Bitcoin was written in C++ or NXT written in Java. I know that there are a bunch of Python libraries for various coins.

Ah, can't help then. Sorry, wasn't aware there was such a language diversity in coins, thought perhaps you'd mixed up libraries with the reference clients.

Yes, I was really surprise that I found coins written in C, Ruby and Node.js but no coin written in Python. Although Python has a strong community and a large collection of libraries for P2P, distributed computing and cryptography.

ethereum, had a python version, but they abandoned it to concentrate on C++ (alethzero/ethminer) and Go (geth)

I think this is kinda what you're looking for: https://github.com/zack-bitcoin/basiccoinI don't think it was ever really launched or promoted, seems just a hobby for the guy.

Thanks, this is exactly what i was looking for. The last changes are over 9 months ago, but it seem it is a working coin.

The first question should be that it is an interpreted language so maybe the developers dont are focused on it for this reason. However python could be a tool very powerful to do another jobs.

Have you got a github repository or something similar where I can see what you have done so far? I started something, but it is paused now. Intended to be supernoobfriendly code.

I just looked into the coin to see the (python) concept behind. I guess it is a fully working coin, but I did not tried it yet. As a Python beginner, you should probably gather some more expierence before trying to create a coin. It is sophisticated. Thanks, this is exactly what i was looking for.

If anyone is planning on creating a new coin forking a C/C++ one would be much easier than trying to build this.
