No semantical change but when using the python lib for the rpc-api it is confusing that my developing environment suggests that I should fund a channel and pass a channel_id when in fact I want to pass a node_id
pylightning: A python client library for lightningd
Installation
Note: With Python 2 you need to have the futures python library installed to be able to use pylightning:
pip install futures
pylightning is available on pip
pip install pylightning
Example
from lightning import LightningRpc
import random
# Create two instances of the LightningRpc object using two different c-lightning daemons on your computer
l1 = LightningRpc("/tmp/lightning1/lightning-rpc")
l5 = LightningRpc("/tmp/lightning5/lightning-rpc")
info5 = l5.getinfo()
print(info5)
# Create invoice for test payment
invoice = l5.invoice(100, "lbl{}".format(random.random()), "testpayment")
print(invoice)
# Get route to l1
route = l1.getroute(info5['id'], 100, 1)
print(route)
# Pay invoice
print(l1.sendpay(route['route'], invoice['payment_hash']))
