encoding

msgpack_encode(obj)

Encode the object using canonical msgpack.

Parameters:obj (Transaction, SignedTransaction, MultisigTransaction, Multisig, Bid, or SignedBid) – object to be encoded Returns:msgpack encoded object Return type:str

Note

Canonical Msgpack: maps must contain keys in lexicographic order; maps must omit key-value pairs where the value is a zero-value; positive integer values must be encoded as “unsigned” in msgpack, regardless of whether the value space is semantically signed or unsigned; integer values must be represented in the shortest possible encoding; binary arrays must be represented using the “bin” format family (that is, use the most recent version of msgpack rather than the older msgpack version that had no “bin” family).

future_msgpack_decode(enc)

Decode a msgpack encoded object from a string.

Parameters:enc (str) – string to be decoded Returns:decoded object Return type:Transaction, SignedTransaction, Multisig, Bid, or SignedBid

msgpack_decode(enc)

Decode a msgpack encoded object from a string.

Parameters:enc (str) – string to be decoded Returns:decoded object Return type:Transaction, SignedTransaction, Multisig, Bid, or SignedBid

is_valid_address(addr)

Check if the string address is a valid Algorand address.

Parameters:addr (str) – base32 address Returns:whether or not the address is valid Return type:bool

decode_address(addr)

Decode a string address into its address bytes and checksum.

Parameters:addr (str) – base32 address Returns:address decoded into bytes Return type:bytes

encode_address(addr_bytes)

Encode a byte address into a string composed of the encoded bytes and the checksum.

Parameters:addr_bytes (bytes) – address in bytes Returns:base32 encoded address Return type:str

checksum(data)

Compute the checksum of arbitrary binary input.

Parameters:data (bytes) – data as bytes Returns:checksum of the data Return type:bytes
