Python FinTech Dokumentation

Die Dokumentation ist derzeit nur in englischer Sprache verfügbar.

Installation

The FinTech package is available for Python 2.7.9+ (up to version 6.*) and 3.4+ (except 3.5.3) on PyPI (Python Package Index). Other Python versions or platforms upon request. If you need a solution for other programming languages, have a look at the XML-RPC server.

The FinTech library depends on the following packages:

• cryptography
• lxml
• fpdf
• kontocheck (optional, but recommended for the German market)
• websocket-client (optional)
• Pillow (optional)

Pillow is only required if you want to scan SEPA mandates for printed barcodes which hold the mandate reference number.

Install it using pip:

pip install fintech [kontocheck] [websocket-client] [pillow]
