Chainside launches a BTCpy - SegWit compliant Bitcoin Python 3 library!
This new Python library is expected to help make it easier for developers to develop and integrate Bitcoin based scripts.
Here is an abstract from the original post;
Differently from other existent Bitcoin libraries, btcpy is able to recognise and create arbitrary scripts in a simple fashion, something particularly important to develop Layer 2 applications, where complex smart contracts with timelocks, hashlocks and if-else clauses are needed.
During the scaling debate, some pointed out that it was preferable to keep Bitcoin simple rather than opting for technically more advanced, but complicated, solutions like SegWit and Layer 2 infrastructures. We do believe that for the long term success of Bitcoin the best technical solution is always preferable, but tools like btcpy to abstract its complexity are needed.
While others would have decided to keep such library private as a company asset, we choose to release it open source to the community, with the hope that it will help other developers to build amazing products and it will help the ecosystem to grow.
Python is one of the most power and popular programming languages used by Google.com, YouTube and Reddit. Steemit bots are mostly developed in Python and the latest version of Python is Python 3.
The new Bitcoin library would allow only make it easier to develop Bitcoin applications and scripts just as the Piston Steem library allows us to build bots on Steem!

Good information, but I guess you meant compliant rather than complaint in the title!
yes, thank you for the correction!
