cardano-python VS cardano-serialization-lib

Q: How is PyCardano different from other python libraries, such as cardano-python and cardano-clusterlib-py?

If you're comfortable in Python or JavaScript there are some good client libraries that abstract away the REST API into an easier to use SDK such as this: https://github.com/emesik/cardano-python

Within 6-12 months there will be a solidity side chain (milkomeda), a Python SDK, and a LLVM backend to support all C languages (IELE). It’s been designed this way for a long time to be EVM compatible with a native Plutus language and compatibility with the other 20+ million programmers in the world who don’t program on Solidity or Haskell.

I'd like to test staking and withdrawal operations in the lib I'm developing.

The repo is here: https://github.com/emesik/cardano-python

You will need cardano-serialization-lib for that. Check out their github repo: https://github.com/Emurgo/cardano-serialization-lib

Please allow me to introduce you PyCardano, a Cardano library written in Python. It allows users to create and sign transactions without depending on third-party Cardano serialization tools, such as cardano-cli and cardano-serialization-lib, making it a lightweight library, which is simple and fast to set up in all types of environments.

The Flint backend is open source (https://github.com/dcSpark/cardano-backend), the SDK we manage is open source (https://github.com/Emurgo/cardano-serialization-lib/) and the way the wallet works is documented via multiple CIPs (ex: https://github.com/cardano-foundation/CIPs/tree/master/CIP-0030)

Yes, that's dcSparks the team behind Milkomeda ( https://github.com/Emurgo/cardano-serialization-lib ), all thanks to them! Catalyst is great but I wonder why isn't IOHK financing this directly, because compensation for this kind of work through Catalyst is not great, considering how much a Rust dev can get in the market and work elsewhere.

Be aware of this issue if you try it.

But anyways, even none of the code examples they list on docs(https://docs.cardano.org/cardano-components/cardano-serialization-lib) or in their github repos(https://github.com/Emurgo/cardano-serialization-lib/blob/master/doc/getting-started/generating-transactions.md) work at this point. You can give it a try if you are interested. So I'll pause this project for a while, and report back as soon as it at least functions.

I think CHEFF is referring to https://github.com/Emurgo/cardano-serialization-lib

There are a few different Github repositories that server different things -- I'm not sure if there is a list of all of them. The job posting would mostly be related to https://github.com/Emurgo/cardano-serialization-lib and the network lib https://github.com/2nd-Layer/rust-cardano-ouroboros-network
