hive-python is a Hive library for Python. It comes with a BIP38 encrypted wallet and a practical CLI utility called hivepy.

This library currently works on Python 2.7, 3.5 and 3.6. Python 3.3 and 3.4 support forthcoming.

With pip:

pip3 install hivepy      # pip install hivepy for 2.7

From Source:

git clone https://github.com/pharesim/hive-python.git
cd hive-python
python3 setup.py install        # python setup.py install for 2.7

If you're on a mac, you may need to do the following first:

brew install openssl
export CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include $CFLAGS"
export LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib $LDFLAGS"

The library comes with a few console scripts.

• hivepy:
  • rudimentary blockchain CLI (needs some TLC and more TLAs)
• hivetail:
  • useful for e.g. hivetail -f -j | jq --unbuffered --sort-keys .

Documentation is available at http://hive.readthedocs.io

Some tests are included. They can be run via:

• python setup.py test

• more unit tests
• 100% documentation coverage, consistent documentation
• migrate to click CLI library

This library is under development. Beware.
