Altcoins based on Python?

[tyz]

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/basiccoin

I 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.

What are you thinking? I am currently learning Python and I am very interested in this project.

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.

I started something, but it is paused now. Intended to be supernoobfriendly code.

Vitalik Buterin has made an Ethereum Client based on Python - https://github.com/ethereum/pyethereum

He's also created a DApp development language called Serpent - https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Serpent

Have you got a github repository or something similar where I can see what you have done so far?

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.

Did anyone pick up this project?

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