shield-python is a set of Python libraries that allows easy access to the shield peer-to-peer cryptocurrency client API.

Documentation can be found here, or in the source archive. It is built using Sphinx:

shield-python uses setuptools for the install script. There are no dependencies apart from Python itself.

$ python setup.py build
$ python setup.py install

These things still have to be added:

• SSL support (including certificate verification) for managing remote shield daemons.
