Quick Start

Setup

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv

# Activate (Windows)
.\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

# Activate (Linux/macOS)
source venv/bin/activate

# Install dependencies
# Option 1: Install all dev dependencies
pip install -e ".[all-dev]"

# Option 2: Install specific groups
pip install -e ".[dev,test]"  # Development and testing tools only

# Option 3: Use requirements files (legacy, pyproject.toml is source of truth)
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
pip install -e .

Dependency Management

Single Source of Truth: pyproject.toml is the authoritative source for all dependencies.

• Production dependencies: Defined in [project.dependencies]
• Optional dependencies: Organized into groups:
  • dev: Development tools (black, flake8, isort, mypy)
  • test: Testing tools (pytest, playwright, etc.)
  • docs: Documentation tools (sphinx)
  • storage: Storage backends (aiosqlite)
  • security: Security auditing (pip-audit)
  • all-dev: Meta-group including dev, test, docs, security

Version Policy:

• Dependencies use >= lower bounds with upper bounds (e.g., >=11.0.0,<14.0.0)
• Upper bounds protect against breaking major version changes
• Regular updates recommended for security and features

Security Monitoring:

• Run pip-audit regularly to check for vulnerabilities
• Install with: pip install -e ".[security]" then run pip-audit
• Consider setting up automated security scanning in CI/CD

Generating Locked Requirements:

# Install pip-tools
pip install pip-tools

# Generate locked requirements.txt from pyproject.toml
pip-compile pyproject.toml -o requirements.txt

# Generate locked requirements-dev.txt
pip-compile pyproject.toml --extra dev --extra test --extra docs --extra security -o requirements-dev.txt

Running Tests

# Run all tests
pytest

# Run with coverage
pytest --cov=walletkit

# Run specific test file
pytest tests/unit/test_events.py

- Core utilities: 80%+ coverage

Architecture

The port follows the same architecture as the JavaScript implementation:

1. Core: Orchestrates all controllers (Crypto, Relayer, Pairing)
2. Crypto: Handles encryption/decryption, key management
3. Relayer: Manages WebSocket communication with relay server
4. Pairing: Handles pairing creation and management
5. SignClient: Stub implementation (placeholder for full port)
6. Engine: Wraps SignClient for protocol interactions
7. WalletKit Client: Main API for wallet integration

Usage Example

Basic Wallet

import asyncio
from walletkit import WalletKit, Core
from walletkit.utils.storage import MemoryStorage

async def main():
    # Initialize Core
    storage = MemoryStorage()
    core = Core(
        project_id="your-project-id",
        storage=storage,
    )
    await core.start()
    
    # Initialize WalletKit
    wallet = await WalletKit.init({
        "core": core,
        "metadata": {
            "name": "My Wallet",
            "description": "My Wallet Description",
            "url": "https://mywallet.com",
            "icons": ["https://mywallet.com/icon.png"],
        },
    })
    
    # Listen for session proposals
    @wallet.on("session_proposal")
    async def on_proposal(event):
        proposal_id = event.get("id")
        # Approve session
        await wallet.approve_session(
            id=proposal_id,
            namespaces={
                "eip155": {
                    "chains": ["eip155:1"],
                    "methods": ["eth_sendTransaction", "eth_sign"],
                    "events": ["chainChanged"],
                },
            },
        )
    
    # Pair with a URI from a dApp
    await wallet.pair("wc:...")
    
    # Keep running
    await asyncio.Event().wait()

asyncio.run(main())

Basic DApp

import asyncio
from walletkit import WalletKit, Core
from walletkit.utils.storage import MemoryStorage

async def main():
    # Initialize
    storage = MemoryStorage()
    core = Core(project_id="your-project-id", storage=storage)
    await core.start()
    
    dapp = await WalletKit.init({
        "core": core,
        "metadata": {
            "name": "My DApp",
            "description": "My DApp Description",
            "url": "https://mydapp.com",
            "icons": ["https://mydapp.com/icon.png"],
        },
    })
    
    # Create pairing URI
    pairing = await dapp.core.pairing.create({
        "methods": ["wc_sessionPropose"],
    })
    uri = pairing.get("uri")
    
    print(f"Share this URI with wallet: {uri}")
    
    await asyncio.Event().wait()

asyncio.run(main())
