how to sign raw transaction with python

Question

I know there is a wallet called MyEtherWallet can sign with private key offline, and there seems to be javascript library that can also do this, but is there a python library or any code that can sign the raw transaction provided that I have private key string?

Answer 1

There are a few options. Account.signTransaction in web3.py is one such option: https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/blob/master/docs/web3.eth.account.rst.

Answer 2

There is module called Account in Web3.py. This module has signTransaction method, which can be used like that:

transaction = {
        'to': '0xF0109fC8DF283027b6285cc889F5aA624EaC1F55',
        'value': 1000000000,
        'gas': 2000000,
        'gasPrice': 234567897654321,
        'nonce': 0,
        'chainId': 1
    }
key = '0x4c0883a69102937d6231471b5dbb6204fe5129617082792ae468d01a3f362318'
signed = w3.eth.account.signTransaction(transaction, key)

w3.eth.sendRawTransaction(signed.rawTransaction)
