I found
this thread to be extremely helpful, so I'm returning the favor by posting an improved and simplified version of the code. Unfortunately, my forum account is limited to the Newbie section. Mods, please move this post to the thread above.
from hashlib import sha512
from hmac import HMAC
from base64 import b64decode, b64encode
from urllib import urlencode
from time import time
import requests
class MTGox:
def __init__(self, key, secret, base):
self.key = key
self.secret = b64decode(secret)
self.base = base
def query(self, path, args={}):
args['nonce'] = int(time()*100000)
headers = {
'User-Agent': 'BitcoinTalk',
'Rest-Key': self.key,
'Rest-Sign': b64encode(str(HMAC(self.secret, urlencode(args), sha512).digest()))
}
r = requests.post(self.base + path, data=args, headers=headers)
print r.text
