## Requirements
## Prerequisites
The `xrpl-py` library supports [Python 3.7](https://www.python.org/downloads/) and later.
To complete this tutorial, you should meet the following guidelines:
- Have a basic understanding of Python.
- Have installed [Python 3.7](https://www.python.org/downloads/) or later.
## Installation
## Source Code
The [`xrpl-py` library](https://github.com/XRPLF/xrpl-py) is available on [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/xrpl-py/). Install with `pip`: <!-- SPELLING_IGNORE: pypi -->
Click **Download** on the top right of the code preview panel to download the source code.
## Steps
```py
pip3 install xrpl-py
Follow the steps to create a simple application with `xrpl-py`.
{% step id="import-tag" %}
### 1. Install Dependencies
Start a new project by creating an empty folder, then move into that folder and set up a Python virtual environment with the necessary dependencies:
```sh
# Create and activate a virtual environment
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
# Install the xrpl-py library
pip install xrpl-py
```
## Start Building
Alternatively, if you're using the downloaded source code, you can install all dependencies from the `requirements.txt` file:
When you're working with the XRP Ledger, there are a few things you'll need to manage, whether you're adding XRP to your [account](../../../concepts/accounts/index.md), integrating with the [decentralized exchange](../../../concepts/tokens/decentralized-exchange/index.md), or [issuing tokens](../../../concepts/tokens/index.md). This tutorial walks you through basic patterns common to getting started with all of these use cases and provides sample code for implementing them.
```sh
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
{% /step %}
Here are the basic steps you'll need to cover for almost any XRP Ledger project:
### 2. Connect to the XRP Ledger
1. [Connect to the XRP Ledger.](#1-connect-to-the-xrp-ledger)
1. [Get an account.](#2-get-account)
1. [Query the XRP Ledger.](#3-query-the-xrp-ledger)
{% step id="connect-tag" %}
#### Connect to the XRP Ledger Testnet
To make queries and submit transactions, you need to connect to the XRP Ledger. To do this with `xrpl-py`, use the [`xrp.clients` module](https://xrpl-py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/xrpl.clients.html).
### 1. Connect to the XRP Ledger
{% admonition type="info" name="Note" %}
The standard approach with `xrpl-py` is to use the JSON-RPC client. While a WebSocket client is available, it requires you to use `async`/`await` throughout your code. For most use cases, stick with JSON-RPC to avoid the complexity of asynchronous programming.
{% /admonition %}
To make queries and submit transactions, you need to connect to the XRP Ledger. To do this with `xrpl-py`, use the [`xrp.clients` module](https://xrpl-py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/xrpl.clients.html):
The sample code shows you how to connect to the Testnet, which is one of the available [parallel networks](../../../concepts/networks-and-servers/parallel-networks.md).
{% /step %}
{% code-snippet file="/_code-samples/get-started/py/get-acct-info.py" from="# Define the network client" before="# Create a wallet using the testnet faucet:" language="py" /%}
#### Connect to the production XRP Ledger
{% step id="connect-mainnet-tag"%}
#### Connect to the XRP Ledger Mainnet
The sample code in the previous section shows you how to connect to the Testnet, which is a [parallel network](../../../concepts/networks-and-servers/parallel-networks.md) for testing where the money has no real value. When you're ready to integrate with the production XRP Ledger, you'll need to connect to the Mainnet. You can do that in two ways:
* By [installing the core server](../../../infrastructure/installation/index.md) (`rippled`) and running a node yourself. The core server connects to the Mainnet by default, but you can [change the configuration to use Testnet or Devnet](../../../infrastructure/configuration/connect-your-rippled-to-the-xrp-test-net.md). [There are good reasons to run your own core server](../../../concepts/networks-and-servers/index.md#reasons-to-run-your-own-server). If you run your own server, you can connect to it like so:

{% /step %}
### 2. Get account
{% step id="get-account-create-wallet-tag" %}
### 3. Get account
To store value and execute transactions on the XRP Ledger, you need an account: a [set of keys](../../../concepts/accounts/cryptographic-keys.md#key-components) and an [address](../../../concepts/accounts/addresses.md) that's been [funded with enough XRP](../../../concepts/accounts/index.md#creating-accounts) to meet the [account reserve](../../../concepts/accounts/reserves.md). The address is the identifier of your account and you use the [private key](../../../concepts/accounts/cryptographic-keys.md#private-key) to sign transactions that you submit to the XRP Ledger.
{% admonition type="success" name="Tip" %}
For testing and development purposes, you can use the [XRP Faucets](/resources/dev-tools/xrp-faucets) to generate keys and fund the account on the Testnet or Devnet. For production purposes, you should take care to store your keys and set up a [secure signing method](../../../concepts/transactions/secure-signing.md). Another difference in production is that XRP has real worth, so you can't get it for free from a faucet.
{% /admonition %}
To create and fund an account on the Testnet, `xrpl-py` provides the [`generate_faucet_wallet`](https://xrpl-py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/xrpl.wallet.html#xrpl.wallet.generate_faucet_wallet) method:
To create and fund an account on the Testnet, `xrpl-py` provides the [`generate_faucet_wallet`](https://xrpl-py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/xrpl.wallet.html#xrpl.wallet.generate_faucet_wallet) method. This method returns a [`Wallet` instance](https://xrpl-py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/xrpl.wallet.html#xrpl.wallet.Wallet).
{% /step %}
{% code-snippet file="/_code-samples/get-started/py/get-acct-info.py" from="# Create a wallet using the testnet faucet:" before="# Create an account str from the wallet" language="py" /%}
This method returns a [`Wallet` instance](https://xrpl-py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/xrpl.wallet.html#xrpl.wallet.Wallet):
```py
print(test_wallet)
# print output
public_key:: 022FA613294CD13FFEA759D0185007DBE763331910509EF8F1635B4F84FA08AEE3
private_key:: -HIDDEN-
classic_address: raaFKKmgf6CRZttTVABeTcsqzRQ51bNR6Q
```
#### Using the account
In this tutorial we only query details about the generated account from the XRP Ledger, but you can use the values in the `Wallet` instance to prepare, sign, and submit transactions with `xrpl-py`.
##### Prepare
To prepare the transaction:
{% code-snippet file="/_code-samples/get-started/py/prepare-payment.py" from="# Prepare payment" before="# print prepared payment" language="py" /%}
##### Sign and submit
To sign and submit the transaction:
{% code-snippet file="/_code-samples/get-started/py/prepare-payment.py" from="# Sign and submit the transaction" before="# Print tx response" language="py" /%}
##### Derive an X-address
You can use `xrpl-py`'s [`xrpl.core.addresscodec`](https://xrpl-py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/xrpl.core.addresscodec.html) module to derive an [X-address](https://xrpaddress.info/) from the `Wallet.address` field:
{% code-snippet file="/_code-samples/get-started/py/get-acct-info.py" from="# Derive an x-address from the classic address:" before="# Look up info about your account" language="py" /%}
The X-address format [packs the address and destination tag](https://github.com/XRPLF/XRPL-Standards/issues/6) into a more user-friendly value.
### 3. Query the XRP Ledger
{% step id="query-xrpl-tag" %}
### 4. Query the XRP Ledger
You can query the XRP Ledger to get information about [a specific account](../../../references/http-websocket-apis/public-api-methods/account-methods/index.md), [a specific transaction](../../../references/http-websocket-apis/public-api-methods/transaction-methods/tx.md), the state of a [current or a historical ledger](../../../references/http-websocket-apis/public-api-methods/ledger-methods/index.md), and [the XRP Ledger's decentralized exchange](../../../references/http-websocket-apis/public-api-methods/path-and-order-book-methods/index.md). You need to make these queries, among other reasons, to look up account info to follow best practices for [reliable transaction submission](../../../concepts/transactions/reliable-transaction-submission.md).
Here, we use `xrpl-py`'s [`xrpl.account`](https://xrpl-py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/xrpl.account.html) module to look up information about the [account we got](#2-get-account) in the previous step.
Use the [account_info method][] to look up information about the account you got in the previous step. Use a request model like `AccountInfo` to validate the request format and catch errors sooner.
{% /step %}
{% step id="run-app-tag" %}
### 5. Run the Application
{% code-snippet file="/_code-samples/get-started/py/get-acct-info.py" from="# Look up info about your account" language="py" /%}
### 4. Putting it all together
Using these building blocks, we can create a Python app that:
1. Gets an account on the Testnet.
2. Connects to the XRP Ledger.
3. Looks up and prints information about the account you created.
{% code-snippet file="/_code-samples/get-started/py/get-acct-info.py" language="python" /%}
To run the app, you can copy and paste the code into an editor or IDE and run it from there. Or you could download the file from the [XRP Ledger Dev Portal repo](https://github.com/XRPLF/xrpl-dev-portal/tree/master/_code-samples/get-started/py) and run it locally:
Finally, in your terminal, run the application like so:
```sh
git clone git@github.com:XRPLF/xrpl-dev-portal.git
cd xrpl-dev-portal/_code-samples/get-started/py/get-acct-info.py
python3 get-acct-info.py
python get-acct-info.py
```
You should see output similar to this example:

#### Interpreting the response
The response fields that you want to inspect in most cases are:
* `account_data.Sequence` — This is the sequence number of the next valid transaction for the account. You need to specify the sequence number when you prepare transactions. With `xrpl-py`, you can use the [`get_next_valid_seq_number`](https://xrpl-py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/xrpl.account.html#xrpl.account.get_next_valid_seq_number) to get this automatically from the XRP Ledger. See an example of this usage in the project [README](https://github.com/XRPLF/xrpl-py#serialize-and-sign-transactions).
- `account_data.Balance` — This is the account's balance of [XRP, in drops][]. You can use this to confirm that you have enough XRP to send (if you're making a payment) and to meet the [current transaction cost](../../../concepts/transactions/transaction-cost.md#current-transaction-cost) for a given transaction.
* `account_data.Balance` — This is the account's balance of [XRP, in drops][]. You can use this to confirm that you have enough XRP to send (if you're making a payment) and to meet the [current transaction cost](../../../concepts/transactions/transaction-cost.md#current-transaction-cost) for a given transaction.
* `validated` — Indicates whether the returned data is from a [validated ledger](../../../concepts/ledgers/open-closed-validated-ledgers.md). When inspecting transactions, it's important to confirm that [the results are final](../../../concepts/transactions/finality-of-results/index.md) before further processing the transaction. If `validated` is `true` then you know for sure the results won't change. For more information about best practices for transaction processing, see [Reliable Transaction Submission](../../../concepts/transactions/reliable-transaction-submission.md).
- `validated` — Indicates whether the returned data is from a [validated ledger](../../../concepts/ledgers/open-closed-validated-ledgers.md). When inspecting transactions, it's important to confirm that [the results are final](../../../concepts/transactions/finality-of-results/index.md) before further processing the transaction. If `validated` is `true` then you know for sure the results won't change. For more information about best practices for transaction processing, see [Reliable Transaction Submission](../../../concepts/transactions/reliable-transaction-submission.md).
For a detailed description of every response field, see [account_info](../../../references/http-websocket-apis/public-api-methods/account-methods/account_info.md#response-format).
