Status Python SDK

Status Python SDK header image

The initial Python Status Backend was built with testing in mind, instead of easy developer access. The objective of this repository is to make a SDK that is:

  • light - as less external packages when it comes to working with Status App
  • fast - quick to get started with Status Python
  • documented - clear explanations of what was done and why it was done in a specific way.

Currently this repository is not on PyPi but will be added when core functionality has been devleoped and tested.

How it works

graph TB
   subgraph backend[status-im/status-go]
       subgraph Endpoints[Network: status-bridge]
           RPC[RPC]
           HTTP[REST]
           SOCKET[Web Socket]
       end
       Vol[(Backup)]
   end


   subgraph bot[Python SDK]
        REQUIREMENTS[requirements.txt]
        SDK[class Account]
        SIGNAL[class Signal]
    end

    subgraph external[External Services]
        COINGECKO[CoinGecko]
        EVM
    end

   SDK --> SIGNAL
   SDK --> |Port 8080| RPC
   SDK --> |Port 8080| HTTP
   SIGNAL --> |Port 8080| SOCKET
   SDK --> Vol
   RPC --> |coingecko_api_key| COINGECKO
   RPC --> |infura_token| EVM

Setup

To access Python funcitonality you will have to set up Status Backend. Easiest and fastest way to get it running would be with Docker.
