This is a very simple example of a client for Localbitcoins API. All calls are yet to be supported, but you can get the idea on how to use the API for your own needs. The client is run from command line, and the servers' response is printed to the standard output in user friendly JSON-format.
The client is tested to work with Python2.7 and requires requests library.
