IOTA-Python - A Pure-Python implementation of IOTA node

The target of this project is to create a pure Python implementation of IOTA node.

Current Develop Status

  • rocksdb: read, write, store (batch)
  • tangle: get, first, latest, next, save, store
  • ISS, snapshot: validate, diff, patch
  • tx_requester: function, but not thread
  • tx_validator: validate, check_solidity

Roadmap:

  • Documentation of IRI behavior and description
  • Send TX (tips selection, attach to tangle, broadcast and store)
  • Network node (TCP and UDP)

Getting Started

Dependencies

  • rocksdb

You can see the rocksdb install guide from facebook/rocksdb - INSTALL.md.

For Arch Linux user, simply typing:

$ yaourt -S rocksdb

Requirements

Installation of IOTA-Python

$ pipenv install iotapy

To install IOTA-Python, simply run this simple command in your terminal of choice:

$ pipenv install iotapy

Get the Source Code

IOTA-Python is actively developed on GitHub, where the code is always available.

You can clone the source code from repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/mlouielu/iota-python

Once you have a copy of source code, you can install the package easily:

$ cd iota-python
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python setup.py install

Tutorials - About RocksDBProvider

This is a tutorial of IOTA-Python to read the database from java IRI, and this is what IOTA-Python can do now.

Open IRI rocksdb

Remember, make sure db_path and db_log_path is point to your database path. At this point, IOTA-Python didn't support writing data back to the database (also, it have a lock on it, if you want to write it), so read_only should also be True.

>>> import iota
>>> import iotapy
>>> r = iotapy.storage.providers.rocksdb.RocksDBProvider(
        db_path='/var/db/iota/mainnetdb',
        db_log_path='/var/db/iota/mainnetdb.log',
        read_only=True
    )
>>> r.init()   # Absolute remember to init database
>>>

Access IRI rocksdb

Now you open the database, you can get the data inside it! IRI using rocksdb column family to separate the data stored. For column family list, please visit this blog post

Now, we can try to open a transaction, here we got an example transaction hash: GTXDTJVUTVSNHYFPJUOWFKTGQTCMNKZPJDJXSWVQWTXYRDZAVZTX9KFBRIMRQEQLMCMVAUKMZWMHA9999.

You can check this tx information at this page

>>> txh = iota.TransactionHash('GTXDTJVUTVSNHYFPJUOWFKTGQTCMNKZPJDJXSWVQWTXYRDZAVZTX9KFBRIMRQEQLMCMVAUKMZWMHA9999')
>>> column_family = 'transaction'
>>> tx = r.get(txh, column_family)
>>> tx.tag
Tag(b'EXAMPLEPYTHONLIB99999999999')
>>> tx.bundle_hash
BundleHash(b'CRNTWYOGTYKPAHYHNESJOKLRFYQQGCXXUZIZQFTCCLSTZODTRBPZWTX9TVHNDNNIWTULV9GFLAPPSTCC9')

If you are using method such as RocksDBProvider.get, RocksDBProvider.latest, please use the following column family name:

address
approvee
bundle
milestone
state_diff
tag
transaction
transaction_metadata

The full list of column family name can be found at RocksDBProvider.column_family_names, but this list is used for low level database access, it only used at RocksDBProvider.db.

Example of RocksDBProvider methods:

# Get address' transaction record

EXPLOSION! An example of exploring the IRI database!

EXPLOSION!

Glade you are here, now you gain the full access power of the IRI database.

We all know that IOTA is a DAG, that is, theoretically speaking, we can start from a transaction, and go to its parent, and its parent, and its parent...and we will finally get to the genesis address / node / block whatever.

Here is a small script that I trying to find this answer:

import time
import iota
import iotapy


# Initialize the database
r = iotapy.storage.providers.rocksdb.RocksDBProvider(
        db_path='/var/db/iota/mainnetdb',
        db_log_path='/var/db/iota/mainnetdb.log',
        read_only=True)
r.init()


# We will start from this transaction
txh = iota.TransactionHash('UNUK99RCIWLUQ9WMUT9MPQSZCHTUMGN9IWOCOXWMNPICCCQKLLNIIE9UIFGKZLHRI9QAOEQXQJLL99999')
tx = r.get(txh, 'transaction')

# Stop at here
EMPTY = iota.TransactionHash('9' * 81)

# Go to find the genesis!
i = 0
while True:
    i += 1
    if i % 100 == 0:
        print(txh, time.ctime(tx.timestamp))

    # Branch is outside the bundle and trunk is in the bundle
    # So we choose branch at here
    if tx.branch_transaction_hash != EMPTY:
        txh = tx.branch_transaction_hash
        tx = r.get(tx.branch_transaction_hash, 'transaction')
    else:
        # This is the end of the journey
        print("\nProbably the genesis?")
        print(txh)
        break

It will run like:
