Code:

#! /usr/bin/python2
# cryptonator API
# Written for Linux with Python2
# Author STumbles

import urllib2
import json
import argparse

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument("quantity", help="How many coins to convert", type=int)
parser.add_argument("base", help="Coin to start with", type=str)
parser.add_argument("target", help="Currency to convert to", type=str)
args = parser.parse_args()

class CoinConvert():
def __init__(self):
self.url = "https://www.cryptonator.com/api/ticker/%s-%s" % (args.base, args.target)
self.data = urllib2.urlopen(self.url).read()

self.answer = self.price * args.quantity
print self.answer

def main():
cc = CoinConvert()

if __name__ == "__main__":
main()

syntax: python2 coinconversion.py quantity base target

example: python2 coinconversion.py 10000 pnd ltc
example: python2 coinconversion.py 10000 pnd usd
example: python2 coinconversion.py 300 usd pnd

There wasnt much time put in to this, so i wouldnt ask for much if anything.
but if you want me to keep me motivated to write neat scripts for you guys
PUvHB2P7rBWq39skFYTW6Q3TzhQsN6BvdU - this will go directly towards beer and pizza to fuel me

what this do? plz explain

It's a scrypt for Linux as far as I understand to check the price of pnd

its a command line tool for linux that converts a currency in to another currency.
say you want to see how many pnd you can buy with $15.00

stumbles@arch ~/projects/PND$ python2 coinconvert.py 15 usd pnd
1532781.23887

you can buy a little over 1.5 million (at this time)
