Project and Justification
Currently, Nervos CKB offers SDKs for Javascript, Java, and Ruby. We propose extending this with a Python SDK, due to the large number of blockchain developers that prefer Python.
This includes:
- Ability to make basic RPC calls to the node (e.g., get_block, send_transaction, get_current_epoch), individually or in batches.
- Testing user applications using a CKB dummy (timed) or Eaglesong (PoW) node.
- Tests for the library itself using a CKB dummy node.
- Full type hints for Python 3.5+.
- Working examples using the CKB Rylai testnet.
- Helpers for common operations (e.g., signing/sending transactions).
- Utilities for working with addresses, transactions, and cryptographic operations (serialize/deserialize, parse, create, sign).
Timeline and Project Duration
This is expected to take between 2-3 weeks
