Deno 2.4 Brings Back deno bundle, Improves Dependency Management and Observability
Deno 2.4 brings back bundling, improves dependency updates and telemetry, and makes the runtime more practical for real-world JavaScript projects.
AuthServiceProxy is an improved version of python-jsonrpc.
It includes the following generic improvements:
It also includes the following bitcoin-specific details:
Note: This will only install bitcoinrpc. If you also want to install jsonrpc to preserve backwards compatibility, you have to replace 'bitcoinrpc' with 'jsonrpc' in setup.py and run it again.
Or simply install the library using pip::
pip install python-bitcoinrpc
.. code:: python
from bitcoinrpc.authproxy import AuthServiceProxy, JSONRPCException
# rpc_user and rpc_password are set in the bitcoin.conf file
rpc_connection = AuthServiceProxy("http://%s:%s@127.0.0.1:8332"%(rpc_user, rpc_password))
best_block_hash = rpc_connection.getbestblockhash()
print(rpc_connection.getblock(best_block_hash))
# batch support : print timestamps of blocks 0 to 99 in 2 RPC round-trips:
commands = [ [ "getblockhash", height] for height in range(100) ]
block_hashes = rpc_connection.batch_(commands)
blocks = rpc_connection.batch_([ [ "getblock", h ] for h in block_hashes ])
block_times = [ block["time"] for block in blocks ]
print(block_times)
.. code:: python
from bitcoinrpc.authproxy import AuthServiceProxy, JSONRPCException
import logging
logging.basicConfig()
logging.getLogger("BitcoinRPC").setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
rpc_connection = AuthServiceProxy("http://%s:%s@127.0.0.1:8332"%(rpc_user, rpc_password))
print(rpc_connection.getinfo())
Produces output on stderr like
DEBUG:BitcoinRPC:-1-> getinfo []
DEBUG:BitcoinRPC:<-1- {"connections": 8, ...etc }
