python-bitcoinlib: Comprehensive bitcoin library for python

GitHub URL: https://github.com/jgarzik/python-bitcoinlib Repository: git://github.com/jgarzik/python-bitcoinlib.git

The python library for pynode has matured sufficiently to have a home of its own. The python-bitcoinlib project attempts to present a lightweight, modular, a la carte interface to bitcoin data structures and network protocols.

Features:

* Easy object interface to all bitcoin core data structures: block, transaction, addresses, ... * Full transaction script engine * Fully verifies main and testnet block chains (via pynode) * ECDSA verification (OpenSSL wrapper) * Object interface to all known network messages * Binary encoding/decoding (serialization) for full bitcoin protocol interoperability * Passes many of the tests shipped with the bitcoin reference client (bitcoind/Bitcoin-Qt)

Like pynode, this library is currently a developer-only release, not recommended for highly secure production sites.
