AuthServiceProxy is an improved version of python-jsonrpc.
It includes the following generic improvements:
- HTTP connections persist for the life of the AuthServiceProxy object
- sends protocol 'version', per JSON-RPC 1.1
- sends proper, incrementing 'id'
- uses standard Python json lib
It also includes the following bitcoin-specific details:
- sends Basic HTTP authentication headers
- parses all JSON numbers that look like floats as Decimal
Installation:
- change the first line of setup.py to point to the directory of your installation of python 2.*
- run setup.py
Note: This will only install bitcoinrpc. If you also want to install jsonrpc to preserve
backwards compatibility, you have to replace 'bitcoinrpc' with 'jsonrpc' in setup.py and run it again.
