I'm participating in the Cardano Builderthon and noticed PyCardano lacks beginner-friendly, heavily-commented examples for developers new to Cardano.
I'd like to contribute a set of tutorial scripts covering common use cases:
Proposed Examples:
- wallet_balance_checker.py - Check wallet balance using Blockfrost
- simple_ada_transfer.py - Send ADA from one address to another
- query_transaction.py - Look up transaction details by hash
- utxo_explorer.py - List and analyze UTXOs for an address
What makes these different:
- ✅ Line-by-line explanatory comments
- ✅ Comprehensive error handling
- ✅ Setup instructions included
- ✅ Expected output examples
- ✅ Common mistakes documented
- ✅ Works on testnet (safe for learning)
Target Audience:
Python developers new to Cardano who understand basic blockchain concepts but need practical examples.
Deliverables:
/examples/beginner/ folder with 4 scripts
README.md with setup guide
- Each script fully tested on preprod testnet
Can I proceed with this contribution?
