What is the best Python library for hashing Cryptonight hashes and building mining software?

Really a duplicate of monero.stackexchange.com/questions/10787/… but asking opinionated question now.– jtgrassie ♦Jan 24, 2019 at 21:42

At this time, the best Python library for hashing CryptoNight is still the py-cryptonight, a Python CryptoNight implementation. This library has the crypto stuff in C/C++ (lifted straight from the Monero code base) and compiled into the Python library.

To be clear, this library is not "fully" Python, the crypto stuff is in C/C++ (lifted straight from the Monero code base) and compiled into the Python library. Also, it is up-to-date, as it has the current CNv2 implemented, so the remark of not being updated for months is misleading.– jtgrassie ♦Jan 30, 2019 at 12:43

My apologies, it actually doesn't support CNv2. I created a PR for it though.– jtgrassie ♦Feb 8, 2019 at 2:33
