Python

To integrate with Python you need to make sure that your trix project has the python bindings generation enabled in the config:

[[bindings]]
plugin = "python"
output_dir = "./gen/python"

With the binding generation enabled, run the following command from your CLI to trigger the code generator:

trix bindgen

If things went well, you should see the following new files:

my-protocol/
└── gen/
└── python/
├── __init__.py
└── requirements.txt

That new __init__.py file has the required types and functions to call your protocol from a Python code.

The requirements.txt file is a standard file for Python projects.

Now, we can use the generated bindings to build a transaction using our protocol.

First access to the gen/python folder and install the required dependencies:

Terminal window
cd gen/python && pip install -r requirements.txt

We need to open __init__.py and update the TRP endpoint to point to the correct URL (unless you have it configured on trix.toml). The default value is http://localhost:3000/trp, but if you’re using different port or endpoint, make sure to update it.

For the following example, we will use the main.tx3 file generated by trix.

Now, we can create a new file called test.py with the following code on the same folder as main.tx3:

import asyncio
from gen.python import TransferParams, protocol
params = TransferParams(
sender="addr_test1vpgcjapuwl7gfnzhzg6svtj0ph3gxu8kyuadudmf0kzsksqrfugfc",
receiver="addr_test1vpry6n9s987fpnmjqcqt9un35t2rx5t66v4x06k9awdm5hqpma4pp",
quantity=100000000
)
async def main():
try:
# Call the transfer_tx method of the protocol
cbor = await protocol.transfer_tx(params)
print(cbor)
except Exception as error:
print(f"Error: {error}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Run the asynchronous main function
asyncio.run(main())

Finally, we can run the test file to build a transaction using our protocol:

Terminal window
python test.py

If everything went well, you should see a message like this:

Terminal window
{'tx': '84a400d9010281825820705e5d956d318264043baf8031e250c14b8703b69947ab2d3212d67210c4b240010182a200581d60464d4cb029fc90cf720600b2f271a2d433517ad32a67eac5eb9bba5c011a05f5e100a200581d605189743c77fc84cc571235062e4f0de28370f6273ade37697d850b40011b0000000248151b86021a0005833d0f00a0f5f6'}
