I watched some videos, decided I should get familiar with under the hood mechanics of Bitcoin through Python and and the usual way to install Python bitcoin library was ...
pip install bitcoinThat worked only as far as import bitcoin being recognized by shell and Jupyter notebook but no commands that I expected (for example random_key(), privtopub() etc.) were available.
Tried afterwards:
pip install pybitcointoolsSame story.
Did some reading and found out there are conflicting libraries so went to the github repository of
https://github.com/vbuterin/pybitcointoolsInstalled directly from downloaded .zip file after more reading with
pip install .after going to the unzipped folder
Still the stuff does not work as expected.
Help a bro out of this mess!
Questions:
1. What python bitcoin library is the most recent/relevant, feature rich?
2. If I installed another one before the 'best' one can they conflict?
3. How do I uninstall an undesired one?
4. Where is a good guide on this pip install nightmare?
Thanks
