make install clean
Commandline client (trezorctl)
---------------------------
The included ``trezorctl`` python script can perform various tasks such as changing setting in the Trezor, signing transactions, retrieving account info and addresses. See the `docs/ <docs/>`_ sub folder for detailed examples and options.
NOTE: An older version of the ``trezorctl`` command is `available for Debian Stretch <https://packages.debian.org/en/stretch/python-trezor>`_ (and comes pre-installed on `Tails OS <https://tails.boum.org/>`_).
Python Library
--------------
You can use this python library to interact with a Bitcoin Trezor and use its capabilities in your application.
See examples here in the `tools/ <tools/>`_ sub folder.
PIN Entering
------------
When you are asked for PIN, you have to enter scrambled PIN. Follow the numbers shown on TREZOR display and enter the their positions using the numeric keyboard mapping:
=== === ===
7 8 9
4 5 6
1 2 3
=== === ===
Example: your PIN is **1234** and TREZOR is displaying the following:
=== === ===
2 8 3
5 4 6
7 9 1
=== === ===
You have to enter: **3795**
Contributing
------------
Python-trezor pulls coins info and protobuf messages from `trezor-common <https://github.com/trezor/trezor-common>`_ repository. If you are
developing new features for Trezor, you will want to start there. Once your changes are accepted to ``trezor-common``, you can make a PR
against this repository. Don't forget to update the submodule with:
.. code::
git submodule update --init --remote
Then, rebuild the protobuf messages and get ``coins.json`` by running:
.. code::
python3 setup.py prebuild
To get support for BTC-like coins, these steps are enough and no further changes to the library are necessary.
