Braintree Python library

Braintree Python library

The Braintree Python library provides integration access to the Braintree Gateway.

TLS 1.2 required

The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Council has mandated that early versions of TLS be retired from service. All organizations that handle credit card information are required to comply with this standard. As part of this obligation, Braintree has updated its services to require TLS 1.2 for all HTTPS connections. Braintrees require HTTP/1.1 for all connections. Please see our technical documentation for more information.

Dependencies

• requests

The Braintree Python SDK is tested against Python versions 3.5.3 and 3.8.0.

The Python core development community has released End-of-Life branches for Python versions 2.7 - 3.4, and are no longer receiving security updates. As a result, Braintree no longer supports these versions of Python.

Versions

Braintree employs a deprecation policy for our SDKs. For more information on the statuses of an SDK check our developer docs.

Major version number	Status	Released	Deprecated	Unsupported
4.x.x	Active	March 2020	TBA	TBA
3.x.x	Inactive	June 2014	March 2022	March 2023

Quick Start Example

import braintree

gateway = braintree.BraintreeGateway(
    braintree.Configuration(
        environment=braintree.Environment.Sandbox
        merchant_id="your_merchant_id",
        public_key="your_public_key",
        private_key="your_private_key",
    )
)

result = gateway.transaction.sale({
    "amount": "1000.00",
    "payment_method_nonce": nonce_from_the_client,
    "options": {
        "submit_for_settlement": True
    }
})

if result.is_success:
    print("success!: " + result.transaction.id)
elif result.transaction:
    print("Error processing transaction:")
    print("  code: " + result.transaction.processor_response_code)
    print("  text: " + result.transaction.processor_response_text)
else:
    for error in result.errors.deep_errors:
        print("attribute: " + error.attribute)
        print("  code: " + error.code)
        print("  message: " + error.message)

Developing

1. Create a virtualenv called venv:

   virtualenv venv
   

2. Start the virtualenv:

   source venv/bin/activate
   

3. Install dependencies:

   pip3 install -r dev_requirements.txt
   

Developing (Docker)

The Makefile and Dockerfile will build an image containing the dependencies and drop you to a terminal where you can run tests.

make

Testing

Our friends at Venmo have an open source library designed to simplify testing of applications using this library.

If you wish to run the tests, make sure you are set up for development (see instructions above). The unit specs can be run by anyone on any system, but the integration specs are meant to be run against a local development server of our gateway code. These integration specs are not meant for public consumption and will likely fail if run on your system. To run unit tests use rake (rake test:unit) or unittest (python3 -m unittest discover tests/unit).
