The Python library http://github.com/richardkiss/pycoin[+pycoin+], originally written and maintained by Richard Kiss, is a Python-based library that supports manipulation of bitcoin keys and transactions, even supporting the scripting language enough to properly deal with nonstandard transactions.
((("pycoin library")))The Python library http://github.com/richardkiss/pycoin[+pycoin+], originally written and maintained by Richard Kiss, is a Python-based library that supports manipulation of bitcoin keys and transactions, even supporting the scripting language enough to properly deal with nonstandard transactions.
The pycoin library supports both Python 2 (2.7.x) and Python 3 (after 3.3), and comes with some handy command-line utilities, +ku+ and +tx+.
=== Key Utility (KU)
The command-line utility +ku+ ("key utility") is a Swiss Army knife for manipulating keys. It supports BIP32 keys, WIF, and addresses (bitcoin and alt coins). Following are some examples.

==== Transaction Utility (TX)
The command-line utility +tx+ will display transactions in human-readable form, fetch base transactions from pycoin's transaction cache or from web services (blockchain.info and biteasy.com are currently supported), merge transactions, add or delete inputs or outputs, and sign transactions.

Now, let's look at unspent outputs for a specific address (UTXO). In block #1, we see a coinbase transaction to +12c6DSiU4Rq3P4ZxziKxzrL5LmMBrzjrJX+. Let's use +fetch_unspent+ to find all coins in this address:
