core nostr from nostrpy seperated out from nostrpy and start to clean up and add examples WIP

monstr

python code for working with nostr

• A basic relay implementation for testing against locally
• Client for working with a single relay
• ClientPool for working with multiple relays
• Keys for working with and converting between hex/npub/nsec

install

git clone https://github.com/monty888/monstr.git
cd monstr
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
-- probably required to run examples else nostr module won't be found
pip install -e . # install the package in editable mode

Note: developed against python 3.8

Resolving Installation Issues

1. If secp256k1 fails to install, try brew install automake pkg-config libffi gmp and make sure pip has wheel pip install wheel

use

basic queries with context manager

    from monstr.client.client import Client

    async with Client(url) as c:
        events = await c.query({
            'limit': 100
        })

        for c_evt in events:
            print(c_evt)

basic queries without context manager

    from monstr.client.client import Client

    c = Client(url)
    asyncio.create_task(c.run())
    await c.wait_connect()
    events = await c.query({
        'limit': 100
    })

    for c_evt in events:
        print(c_evt)
    c.end()

TODO

Eventually try to work how the ... python packages work, for now just copy in the folder and install the requirements. The examples folder is not required.
