Python Dogecoin

This is a fork of a dogecoin-python library focused on a Python 3 support only. Note that you are looking for python-dogecoin version on PyPI instead of original dogecoin-python.

This package allows performing commands such as listing the current balance and sending coins to the Satoshi (original) client from Python. The communication with the client happens over JSON-RPC.

📖 Documentation for the library can be found here.

🍋 This project uses podmena library to add fancy icons to commit messages.
