A set of core Algorand utilities written in Python and released via PyPi that make it easier to build solutions on Algorand. This project is part of AlgoKit.
The goal of this library is to provide intuitive, productive utility functions that make it easier, quicker and safer to build applications on Algorand. Largely these functions wrap the underlying Algorand SDK, but provide a higher level interface with sensible defaults and capabilities for common tasks.
Note If you prefer TypeScript there's an equivalent TypeScript utility library.
This library can be installed using pip, e.g.:
pip install algokit-utils
This library follows the Guiding Principles of AlgoKit.
This is an open source project managed by the Algorand Foundation. See the AlgoKit contributing page to learn about making improvements.
To successfully run the tests in this repository you need to be running LocalNet via AlgoKit:
algokit localnet start
