Dependencies
PyOTA is compatible with Python 3.6, 3.5 and 2.7.
Installation
To install the latest version:
pip install pyota
Optional C Extension
PyOTA has an optional C extension that improves the performance of its cryptography features significantly (speedups of 60x are common!).
To install this extension, use the following command:
pip install pyota[ccurl]
Installing from Source
Create virtualenv (recommended, but not required).
git clone https://github.com/iotaledger/iota.lib.py.git
pip install -e .
Running Unit Tests
To run unit tests after installing from source:
python setup.py test
PyOTA is also compatible with tox, which will run the unit tests in different virtual environments (one for each supported version of Python).
To run the unit tests, it is recommended that you use the detox library. detox speeds up the tests by running them in parallel.
Install PyOTA with the test-runner extra to set up the necessary dependencies, and then you can run the tests with the detox command:
pip install -e .[test-runner] detox -v
Documentation
PyOTA’s documentation is available on ReadTheDocs.
If you are installing from source (see above), you can also build the documentation locally:
Install extra dependencies (you only have to do this once):
pip install '.[docs-builder]'
Switch to the docs directory:
cd docs
Build the documentation:
make html
