py-stellar-base is a Python library for communicating with a Stellar Horizon server. It is used for building Stellar apps on Python. It supports Python 3.6+ as well as PyPy 3.6+.

It provides:

  • a networking layer API for Horizon endpoints.
  • facilities for building and signing transactions, for communicating with a Stellar Horizon instance, and for submitting transactions or querying network history.

Documentation

py-stellar-base's documentation can be found at https://stellar-sdk.readthedocs.io.

Installing

Install and update using pipenv or pip:

pip install stellar-sdk==5.0.1

A Simple Example

Building transaction with synchronous server

# Alice pay 10.25 XLM to Bob
from stellar_sdk import Server, Keypair, TransactionBuilder, Network

alice_keypair = Keypair.from_secret("SBFZCHU5645DOKRWYBXVOXY2ELGJKFRX6VGGPRYUWHQ7PMXXJNDZFMKD")
bob_address = "GA7YNBW5CBTJZ3ZZOWX3ZNBKD6OE7A7IHUQVWMY62W2ZBG2SGZVOOPVH"

server = Server("https://horizon-testnet.stellar.org")
alice_account = server.load_account(alice_keypair.public_key)
base_fee = server.fetch_base_fee()
transaction = (
    TransactionBuilder(
        source_account=alice_account,
        network_passphrase=Network.TESTNET_NETWORK_PASSPHRASE,
        base_fee=base_fee,
    )
    .add_text_memo("Hello, Stellar!")
    .append_payment_op(bob_address, "10.25", "XLM")
    .build()
)
transaction.sign(alice_keypair)
response = server.submit_transaction(transaction)
print(response)
  • Building transaction with asynchronous server

        print(response)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(payment())
