Connecting to Keybase¶
Creating an interface to your Keybase installation is simple. First, ensure that you’ve got the PyKBLib module installed using pip:
pip install pykblib
Next, in your source, import the Keybase
class from the pykblib
module, then create an instance of the Keybase
class, like so:
from pykblib import Keybase
KB = Keybase()
It can take a short while for Keybase
to be instantiated, as it’s gathering information from the Keybase command-line interface. Once it’s finished, you can use the KB
variable to interact with Keybase.
The remaining tutorials will assume that you’ve already taken this step, and will refer to the KB
variable with the assumption that it’s been initialized as a Keybase
object.
