And... it's now working in the latest version 4.1.0.
But still wont work if you're using a SegWit wallet which is the default in that version (and the only option for new wallets in the GUI).

Sign (from 'tb1qw2es79xv7c8fyjtzuvfw40g6zxxun7puwtqlp0'):

Code:

signtransaction("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", privkey="cUoYdz49ZCG2UijNrwisrJESZgKvBrS15F9Q7brQrVLu9jZ3jzSY")

Result (still unsigned):

A naive "solver" is implemented locally for p2pkh-like inputs. Other more complex scripts cannot be signed atm without a wallet.

How about?

After checking your transaction again, it seems like it also lacks the second part that comes after the transaction in a PSBT tx (it is all zeros 0x000000) so the parser fails to populate the txins then fails signing the transaction later one since they are empty.
https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/22e6fe09c17724cd75763306470fa46a7bb7c4e8/electrum/transaction.py#L1709

So your problem must be in the "payto" step which creates a wrong PSBT. I don't know what you should do to fix it though.

There is something weird happening in the sign_transaction() code that seems to make it ignore the privkey Huh

It is not ignoring the private key, it doesn't know how to sign the transaction because the signature scripts are empty. It also uses the given private key if the command is called using the "privkey" parameter, otherwise it will call the wallet instance and asks if it can sign the given tx.

How about?
I have entered the "privkey" parameter

privkey="cVtE728tULSA4gut4QWxo218q6PRsXHQAv84SXix83cuvScvGd1H"

Mine works well on a just created testnet wallet.

that's exactly right!

So there is no way? ?? Undecided

As far as I can tell, it works if the wallet already has the private key in it (ie. you create an imported wallet using the privkey)... but if you are attempting to sign a transaction using a wallet that doesn't contain the key, it won't work... even if you pass the private key.

@Ali2k, you might need to create an issue on the Electrum Github: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues

You can also just skip the "unsigned=True" if it's not a watch-only address and the private-key can be found on the client you're generating the tx on the first place.

The signature scripts of the transaction you are trying to sign (the line before last) are empty and if I understand the code correctly the sign() method in transaction expects them to be filled with your public keys so that it can know which private key to use (the sign method gets multiple keys unlike the command). Since yours are empty it simply skips that input and doesn't sign anything, finally it returns the transaction no matter if it is signed or not.
