Aptos Python SDK
Aptos provides a lightly maintained official Python SDK. It is available on PyPi with the source code in the Aptos-core GitHub repository. Much of the functionality of the Python SDK mirrors the Typescript SDK. The primary purpose of the Python SDK is to help Python developers to quickly become familiar with Aptos and as an accompaniment to Aptos tutorials.
Installing Python SDK
The Python SDK can either be installed via pip
, from source, or embedded:
Install with pip
To install via pip
:
pip3 install aptos-sdk
The aptos-sdk
will be installed in the local site packages directory. For example, on macOS, you will find the aptos-sdk
in the ~/Library/Python/3.8/lib/python/site-packages/aptos_sdk
directory.
Install from the source
To install from source:
git clone https://github.com/aptos-labs/aptos-core
cd aptos-core/ecosystem/python/sdk
python3 setup.py install --user
Install by embedding
To embed the Python SDK into your existing Python project:
cd /path/to/python/project
cp -r /path/to/aptos-core/ecosystem/python/sdk/aptos-sdk aptos-sdk
Using Python SDK
