Bit is Python's `fastest `_
Bitcoin library and was designed from the beginning to feel intuitive, be
effortless to use, and have readable source code. It is heavily inspired by
`Requests `_ and
`Keras `_.

**Bit is so easy to use, in fact, you can do this:**

.. code-block:: python

    >>> from bit import Key
    >>>
    >>> my_key = Key(...)
    >>> my_key.get_balance('usd')
    '12.51'
    >>>
    >>> # Let's donate!
    >>> outputs = [
    >>>     # Wikileaks
    >>>     ('1HB5XMLmzFVj8ALj6mfBsbifRoD4miY36v', 0.0035, 'btc'),
    >>>     # Internet Archive
    >>>     ('1Archive1n2C579dMsAu3iC6tWzuQJz8dN', 190, 'jpy'),
    >>>     # The Pirate Bay
    >>>     ('129TQVAroeehD9fZpzK51NdZGQT4TqifbG', 3, 'eur'),
    >>>     # xkcd
    >>>     ('14Tr4HaKkKuC1Lmpr2YMAuYVZRWqAdRTcr', 2.5, 'cad')
    >>> ]
    >>>
    >>> my_key.send(outputs)
    '9f59f5c6757ec46fdc7440acbeb3920e614c8d1d247ac174eb6781b832710c1c'

Here is the transaction ``_.

Features
--------

- First class support for storing data in the blockchain
- Deterministic signatures via RFC 6979
- Access to the blockchain (and testnet chain) through multiple APIs for redundancy
- Exchange rate API, with optional caching
- Optimal transaction fee API, with optional caching
- Compressed public keys by default
- Multiple representations of private keys; WIF, PEM, DER, etc.
- Legacy P2PKH and Segwit nested-P2WPKH transactions
- Legacy P2SH and Segwit nested-P2WSH transactions

If you are intrigued, continue reading. If not, continue all the same!
