Welcome to the BSV Blockchain Libraries Project, the comprehensive Python SDK designed to provide an updated and unified layer for developing scalable applications on the BSV Blockchain. This SDK addresses the limitations of previous tools by offering a fresh, peer-to-peer approach, adhering to SPV, and ensuring privacy and scalability.

## Objective
The BSV Blockchain Libraries Project aims to structure and maintain a middleware layer of the BSV Blockchain technology stack. By facilitating the development and maintenance of core libraries, it serves as an essential toolkit for developers looking to build on the BSV Blockchain.
## Getting Started
### Requirements
Python 3.9 or higher
pip package manager
### Installation
```bash
pip install bsv-sdk
```
### Basic Usage
```python
import asyncio
from bsv import (
PrivateKey, P2PKH, Transaction, TransactionInput, TransactionOutput
)
# Replace with your private key (WIF format)
PRIVATE_KEY = 'KyEox4cjFbwR---------VdgvRNQpDv11nBW2Ufak'
# Replace with your source tx which contains UTXO that you want to spend (raw hex format)
SOURCE_TX_HEX = '01000000018128b0286d9c6c7b610239bfd8f6dcaed43726ca57c33aa43341b2f360430f23020000006b483045022100b6a60f7221bf898f48e4a49244e43c99109c7d60e1cd6b1f87da30dce6f8067f02203cac1fb58df3d4bf26ea2aa54e508842cb88cc3b3cec9b644fb34656ff3360b5412102cdc6711a310920d8fefbe8ee73b591142eaa7f8668e6be44b837359bfa3f2cb2ffffffff0201000000000000001976a914dd2898df82e086d729854fc0d35a449f30f3cdcc88acce070000000000001976a914dd2898df82e086d729854fc0d35a449f30f3cdcc88ac00000000'
async def create_and_broadcast_transaction():
priv_key = PrivateKey(PRIVATE_KEY)
source_tx = Transaction.from_hex(SOURCE_TX_HEX)
tx_input = TransactionInput(
source_transaction=source_tx,
source_txid=source_tx.txid(),
source_output_index=1,
unlocking_script_template=P2PKH().unlock(priv_key),
)
tx_output = TransactionOutput(
locking_script=P2PKH().lock(priv_key.address()),
change=True
)
tx = Transaction([tx_input], [tx_output], version=1)
tx.fee()
tx.sign()
await tx.broadcast()
print(f"Transaction ID: {tx.txid()}")
print(f"Raw hex: {tx.hex()}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(create_and_broadcast_transaction())
```
For a more detailed tutorial and advanced examples, check our [Documentation](#documentation).
## Features & Deliverables
