PyBitID

This is a python implementation of the BitID demo application originally developed in Ruby

Video demonstration (ruby): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eepEWTnRTc

Live demo: http://vps90685.ovh.net:8080/

The goal of this toy project is to illustrate how the BitId protocol works and how to implement it with helper functions provided by the PyBitId library.

Python versions

Tested with Python 2.7.6 and 3.3.3

Dependencies

Flask (http://flask.pocoo.org/) - A microframework for web development

pip install flask

PyBitId (https://github.com/LaurentMT/pybitid) - A python library for the BitId protocol

Gets the library from Github : https://github.com/LaurentMT/pybitid/archive/master.zip
Unzips the archive in a temp directory
python setup.py install
