icook / cckit

A basic POC for a sufficiently generic Crypto network defintion. Basic interface can be demonstrated:

Note: Tested working on Python 2.7 & 3.4.2

>>> from cckit.networks import Bitcoin
# The Transaction object has a reference to it's Network configuration
>>> print(Bitcoin.transaction)
<class 'cckit._networks.BitcoinTransaction'>
>>> print(Bitcoin.transaction.network)
<class 'cckit._networks.Bitcoin'>
# A new Network can inherit from Bitcoin, but now gets it's own object classes
# that link back to the correct Network configuration
>>> class Litecoin(Bitcoin):
...     pass
... 
>>> print(Litecoin.transaction)
<class 'cckit._networks.LitecoinTransaction'>
>>> print(Litecoin.transaction.network)
<class '__main__.Litecoin'>
>>> Litecoin.transaction().test()
this is a test
>>> Bitcoin.transaction().test()
this is a test
# The newly defined network is automatically available in the expected import
>>> from cckit.networks import Litecoin
>>> print(Litecoin.transaction)
<class 'cckit._networks.LitecoinTransaction'>

Motivation

Generic network objects can now access the network parameters they need easily by referencing self.network.<parameter> and it will get the correct parameter without use of globals or explicit declaration. In addition, new Network objects can be defined outside of the module and are instantly available and referenceable inside the module.
