Python library and commandline client for communicating with TREZOR
Hardware Wallet
See <https://trezor.io> for more information
Install
-------
Python-trezor requires Python 3.3 or higher, and libusb 1.0. The easiest
way to install it is with `pip`. The rest of this guide assumes you have
a working `pip`; if not, you can refer to [this
guide](https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/).
### Trezor T only
On a typical Linux / Mac / BSD system, you already have all you need.
Install `trezor` with:
```sh
pip3 install --upgrade setuptools
pip3 install trezor
```
On Windows, you also need to install
[libusb](https://github.com/libusb/libusb/wiki/Windows) and the
appropriate [drivers](https://zadig.akeo.ie/). This is, unfortunately, a
topic bigger than this README.
### Trezor One support
In addition to the above, you need to install development headers for
HIDAPI.
On a Debian or Ubuntu based system, you can install these:
```sh
sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-pip cython3 libusb-1.0-0-dev libudev-dev
```
When installing the trezor library, you need to specify that you want
`hidapi`:
```sh
pip3 install --upgrade setuptools
pip3 install trezor[hidapi]
```
### Ethereum support
Ethereum requires additional python packages. Instead of
`pip3 install trezor`, specify `pip3 install trezor[ethereum]`.
You can combine it with the above, to get both HIDAPI and Ethereum
support:
```sh
pip3 install trezor[ethereum,hidapi]
```
### FreeBSD
On FreeBSD you can install the packages:
```sh
pkg install security/py-trezor
```
or build via ports:
```sh
cd /usr/ports/security/py-trezor
make install clean
```
Command line 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:
<table>
<tr><td>7<td>8<td>9
<tr><td>4<td>5<td>6
<tr><td>1<td>2<td>3
</table>
Example: your PIN is **1234** and TREZOR is displaying the following:
<table>
<tr><td>2<td>8<td>3
<tr><td>5<td>4<td>6
<tr><td>7<td>9<td>1
</table>
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:
```sh
git submodule update --init --remote
```
Then, rebuild the protobuf messages and get `coins.json` by running:
```sh
python3 setup.py prebuild
```
To get support for BTC-like coins, these steps are enough and no further
changes to the library are necessary.
