Python Tools
---------------------
### [BitRPC](/contrib/bitrpc) ###
Added bitrpc.py which allows for sending of all standard Bitcoin commands via RPC rather than as command line args.

### [PyMiner](/contrib/pyminer) ###
This is a 'getwork' CPU mining client for Bitcoin. It is pure-python, and therefore very, very slow. The purpose is to provide a reference implementation of a miner, for study.
### [SpendFrom](/contrib/spendfrom) ###
Use the raw transactions API to send coins received on a particular
address (or addresses).
### [Wallet Tools](/contrib/wallettools) ###
Contains a wallet change password and unlock script. Used to prevent users from having to enter their password as a command-line argument.

### Verify SF Binaries ###
This script attempts to download the signature file `SHA256SUMS.asc` from SourceForge.
It first checks if the signature passes, and then downloads the files specified in
the file, and checks if the hashes of these files match those that are specified
in the signature file. The script returns 0 if everything passes the checks. It returns 1 if either the
signature check or the hash check doesn't pass. If an error occurs the return value is 2
