py-stellar-base is a Python library for communicating with
a Stellar Horizon server
_ and Soroban-RPC server
_. It is used for building Stellar apps on Python. It supports Python 3.8+ as
well as PyPy 3.8+.
It provides:
- a networking layer API for Horizon endpoints.
- a networking layer API for Soroban-RPC server methods.
- facilities for building and signing transactions, for communicating with a Stellar Horizon and Soroban-RPC instance, and for submitting transactions or querying network history.
Documentation
py-stellar-base's documentation can be found at https://stellar-sdk.readthedocs.io.
Installing
.. code-block:: text
pip install --upgrade stellar-sdk
If you need to use asynchronous, please use the following command to install the required dependencies.
.. code-block:: text
pip install --upgrade stellar-sdk[aiohttp]
We follow Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 <https://semver.org/>
_, and I strongly
recommend that you specify its major version number in the dependency
file to avoid the unknown effects of breaking changes.
A Simple Example
You can find more examples here <https://github.com/StellarCN/py-stellar-base/tree/main/examples>
__.
.. code-block:: python
# Alice pay 10.25 XLM to Bob
from stellar_sdk import Asset, Server, Keypair, TransactionBuilder, Network
alice_keypair = Keypair.from_secret("SBFZCHU5645DOKRWYBXVOXY2ELGJKFRX6VGGPRYUWHQ7PMXXJNDZFMKD")
bob_address = "GA7YNBW5CBTJZ3ZZOWX3ZNBKD6OE7A7IHUQVWMY62W2ZBG2SGZVOOPVH"
server = Server("https://horizon-testnet.stellar.org")
alice_account = server.load_account(alice_keypair.public_key)
base_fee = 100
transaction = (
TransactionBuilder(
source_account=alice_account,
network_passphrase=Network.TESTNET_NETWORK_PASSPHRASE,
base_fee=base_fee,
)
.add_text_memo("Hello, Stellar!")
.append_payment_op(bob_address, Asset.native(), "10.25")
.set_timeout(30)
.build()
)
transaction.sign(alice_keypair)
response = server.submit_transaction(transaction)
print(response)
stellar-contract-bindings
