Solana.py
Solana.py is the base Python library for interacting with Solana. You can use it to build transactions and interact with the Solana JSON RPC API, much like you would do with solana-web3.js
It also covers the SPL Token Program.
Note: This library uses many core types from the Solders package which used to be provided by solana-py itself. If you are upgrading from an old version and you're looking for something that was deleted, it's probably in solders now.

Installation
pip install solanaGeneral Usage

# Alternatively, close the client explicitly instead of using a context manager:

res = await client.is_connected()
print(res) # True
await client.close()

# Alternatively, use the client as an infinite asynchronous iterator:
async with connect("wss://api.devnet.solana.com") as websocket:
await websocket.logs_subscribe()
first_resp = await websocket.recv()
subscription_id = first_resp[0].result
async for idx, msg in enumerate(websocket):
if idx == 3:
break
print(msg)
await websocket.logs_unsubscribe(subscription_id)
