[![License](https://img.shields.io/github/license/subzero-labs/rialo.svg)](https://github.com/SubzeroLabs/rialo/blob/main/LICENSE)

A comprehensive Python library for interacting with the Rialo blockchain. This package provides wallet management, transaction building, RPC communication, and program deployment capabilities through high-performance native Python bindings to the Rust CDK.

## Features

- **Wallet Management**: Create, load, and manage Rialo wallets with BIP39 mnemonic support
- **Transaction Building**: Build, sign, and send transactions to the Rialo blockchain
- **RPC Client**: Communicate with Rialo nodes using JSON-RPC
- **Program Deployment**: Deploy and invoke programs on the Rialo blockchain
- **Cryptographic Operations**: Ed25519 signing, verification, and key management
- **Multiple Storage Backends**: In-memory and file-based wallet storage
- **Type Safety**: Full type hints and stubs for better development experience

## Installation

### From PyPI (Recommended)

```bash
pip install rialo-cdk
```

### System Requirements

- **Python**: 3.8 or higher
- **Operating System**: Windows, macOS, or Linux
- **Architecture**: x86_64, ARM64

The package includes pre-built wheels for all major platforms, so no Rust toolchain is required for installation.

## Quick Start

### Basic Usage

```python
from rialo_cdk import (
    generate_keypair,
    Wallet,
    create_wallet_with_mnemonic,
    HttpRpcClient,
    InMemoryWalletProvider,
)

# Generate a keypair and create a wallet
keypair = generate_keypair()
wallet = Wallet("my_wallet", keypair)
print(f"Wallet public key: {wallet.get_public_key_string()}")

# Create wallet with mnemonic for recovery
wallet_with_mnemonic, mnemonic = create_wallet_with_mnemonic("recoverable_wallet")
print(f"Save this mnemonic: {mnemonic}")

# Connect to Rialo devnet
client = HttpRpcClient(get_devnet_url())

# Check wallet balance (requires running node)
# balance = client.get_balance(wallet.get_public_key())
# print(f"Wallet balance: {balance} kelvin")

# Use wallet provider for persistence
provider = InMemoryWalletProvider()
persistent_wallet = provider.create("my_persistent_wallet", "secure_password")
```

### Wallet Management

```python
from rialo_cdk import InMemoryWalletProvider, FileWalletProvider

# In-memory wallet provider (for testing)
provider = InMemoryWalletProvider()
wallet = provider.create("my_wallet", "secure_password")

# File-based wallet provider (for production)
file_provider = FileWalletProvider("/path/to/wallets")
persistent_wallet = file_provider.create("my_wallet", "secure_password")
```

### Building Transactions

```python
import time
from rialo_cdk import TransactionBuilder, rlo_to_kelvin

# Get current timestamp for transaction validity
valid_from = int(time.time() * 1000)  # Current time in milliseconds

# Build a transfer transaction
builder = TransactionBuilder(wallet.get_public_key(), valid_from)
builder.add_transfer_instruction(
    wallet.get_public_key(),
    recipient_pubkey,
    int(rlo_to_kelvin(1.5))  # Transfer 1.5 RLO
)

# Sign and send
signed_tx = builder.sign(wallet)
signature = client.send_transaction(signed_tx)
print(f"Transaction sent: {signature}")
```

## Running Examples

### Setup

Make sure you have completed the development setup above. The examples require the package to be installed in your environment.

```bash
# Navigate to the project directory
cd rialo/cdk/rialo-py-cdk

# Activate your virtual environment
source develop_env/bin/activate

# Make sure the package is installed
maturin develop


# Or run individual examples
python examples/01-basic-operations.py
python examples/02-wallet-management.py
python examples/03-transaction-operations.py
python examples/04-airdrop-operations.py
python examples/05-alice-bob-transaction.py

# Legacy examples
python examples/basic_usage.py
python examples/wallet_management.py
```

### Available Examples

- **`02-wallet-management.py`**: Advanced wallet provider functionality, mnemonic support, and account operations
- **`03-transaction-operations.py`**: RPC operations, blockchain state queries, and transaction preparation
- **`04-airdrop-operations.py`**: Requesting test tokens, balance checking, and unit conversions

### Troubleshooting Examples

If you get a `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rialo_cdk'` when running examples:

1. **Ensure you're in the correct directory:**
   ```bash
   cd rialo/cdk/rialo-py-cdk
   ```

2. **Activate your virtual environment:**
   ```bash
   source develop_env/bin/activate
   ```

3. **Install the package in development mode:**
   ```bash
   maturin develop
   ```

4. **Verify installation:**
   ```bash
   python -c "import rialo_cdk; print('✓ rialo_cdk imported successfully')"
   ```

5. **If still having issues, try a clean rebuild:**
   ```bash
   maturin develop --release
   ```

## Network Configuration

```python
from rialo_cdk import get_localnet_url

# Connect to different networks
localhost_client = HttpRpcClient(get_localnet_url())      # Local development
```

## Unit Conversions

```python
from rialo_cdk import rlo_to_kelvin, kelvin_to_rlo, KELVIN_PER_RLO

# Convert between RLO and kelvin (smallest unit)
kelvin_amount = rlo_to_kelvin(5.5)  # Convert 5.5 RLO to kelvin
rlo_amount = kelvin_to_rlo(1000000)  # Convert kelvin back to RLO

print(f"1 RLO = {KELVIN_PER_RLO:,} kelvin")
```

## Error Handling

```python
from rialo_cdk import RialoException

try:
    wallet = await provider.load("nonexistent_wallet", "password")
except RialoException as e:
    print(f"Rialo error: {e}")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Other error: {e}")
```

## Security Best Practices

1. **Password Security**: Use strong, unique passwords for wallet encryption
2. **Mnemonic Backup**: Securely store mnemonic phrases offline
3. **Private Key Management**: Never log or expose private keys
4. **Network Security**: Use HTTPS endpoints for RPC communication
5. **File Permissions**: Restrict access to wallet files in production

pytest tests/ --cov=rialo_cdk --cov-report=term-missing

# Install formatting tools (if not already installed)
pip install black isort

# Check code formatting
black --check python/ examples/
isort --check-only python/ examples/
```

#### 2. Build and Test Wheels Locally

```bash
# Build wheels for current platform
maturin build --release --out dist

# Install from built wheel
pip install dist/rialo_cdk-*.whl

# Test basic functionality
python -c "
import rialo_cdk
print(f'✅ rialo_cdk {rialo_cdk.__version__} installed successfully')
keypair = rialo_cdk.generate_keypair()
wallet = rialo_cdk.Wallet('test', keypair)
print(f'✅ Basic functionality working: {wallet.get_public_key_string()[:16]}...')
"
