Indy SDK for Python

This is a Python wrapper for Indy. It is implemented using a foreign function interface (FFI) to a native library written in Rust. Indy is the open-source codebase behind the Sovrin network for self-sovereign digital identity.

This Python wrapper currently requires python 3.6.

Pull requests welcome!

How to install

pip install python3-indy

Note that before you can use python wrapper you must install c-callable SDK. See the section "How-to-install" in Indy SDK

How to build

• Install native "indy" library:

  • Ubuntu: https://repo.sovrin.org/lib/apt/xenial/
  • Windows: https://repo.sovrin.org/windows/libindy/

• Clone indy-sdk repo from https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-sdk

• Move to python wrapper directory

	cd wrappers/python

• Create virtual env if you want

• Install dependencies with pip install

Then run

• Start local nodes pool on 127.0.0.1:9701-9708 with Docker (for now just follow same point in platform-specific instructions for libindy)

• Execute tests with pytest

Example use

For the main workflow examples check tests in demo folder: https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-sdk/tree/master/wrappers/python/tests/demo
