Cheat Sheet To Start Coding In Blockchain: Rule it with Python

In this blog, we will look at the python resources to start coding in blockchain.

Why Python for Blockchain?

Sometimes regarded as a host language due to its nature of work. The full-fledged language is robust enough to meet all the requirements of a Blockchain application. The programming language is also well known for its shorthand notations, simplified structuring, and one of the easiest programming languages one can learn. Hence this might prove to be a boon for the newcomers in the blockchain industry. Languages like C++ can’t provide an effective interface and would require JavaScript along with it, but with Python, everything can be done using one programming language itself.

MRZ Parser :                 A machine-readable passport (MRP) is a machine-readable travel document (MRTD) with the data on the identity page encoded in optical character recognition format Most travel passports worldwide are MRPs.  It can have 2 lines or 3 lines of machine-readable data. This method allows to process MRZ written in accordance with ICAO Document 9303 (endorsed by the International Organization for Standardization and the International Electrotechnical Commission as ISO/IEC 7501-1)). Some applications will need to be able to scan such data of someway, so one of the easiest methods is to recognize it from an image file. I 'll show you how to retrieve the MRZ infor...

'django_extensions' , ... ) Step 3:  Install diagrams generators You have to choose between two diagram generators: Graphviz or Dotplus before using the command or you will get: python manage.py graph_models -a -o myapp_models.png Note:  I prefer to use   pydotplus   as it easier to install than Graphviz and its dependencies so we use   pip install pydotplus . Command:  pip install pydotplus Step 4:  Generate diagrams Now we have everything installed...

Find the course ID which you'd like to delete in the resulting list of course IDs. 4. Copy the course ID into the following command and run it:  - sudo -u www-data /edx/bin/python.edxapp /edx/bin/manage.edxapp cms delete_course <COURSE_ID> --settings aws  -   sudo -u www-data /edx/bin/python.edxapp /edx/bin/manage.edxapp cms delete_course <COURSE_ID> --settings=devstack  - You'll be asked to verify the deletion . To verify the deletion, run the command from step 2 above and ensure that the course ID is not in the list. Help reference : ...
