Over time, it has cost us more developer cycles than it has gained. It has hidden intermittant bugs, and allowed cruft to accumulate: when we eventually tried to figure out what was going wrong, the actual change which caused it was now stale and forgotten. This was a particular bane during the connectd rewrite, and I worked through some issues which had occurred before, but were not more likely. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> |

pyln-proto: Lightning Network protocol implementation
This package implements some of the Lightning Network protocol in pure python. It is intended for protocol testing and some minor tooling only. It is not deemed secure enough to handle any amount of real funds (you have been warned!).
Installation
pyln-proto is available on pip:
pip install pyln-proto
Alternatively you can also install the development version to get access to currently unreleased features by checking out the Core Lightning source code and installing into your python3 environment:
git clone https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning.git
cd lightning/contrib/pyln-proto
python3 setup.py develop
This will add links to the library into your environment so changing the checked out source code will also result in the environment picking up these changes. Notice however that unreleased versions may change API without warning, so test thoroughly with the released version.
