In looking at the following code:

from pprint import pprint
from bitshares import BitShares

testnet = BitShares(
    "wss://node.testnet.bitshares.eu",
    nobroadcast=True,
    bundle=True,
)

testnet.wallet.unlock("supersecret")

testnet.transfer("init0", 1, "TEST", account="xeroc")
testnet.transfer("init1", 1, "TEST", account="xeroc")
testnet.transfer("init2", 1, "TEST", account="xeroc")
testnet.transfer("init3", 1, "TEST", account="xeroc")

pprint(testnet.broadcast())
We see that assets are transferred from the account xeroc to init0, init1, init2, and init3.

My questions are:

• was the wallet created using code similar to this: http://docs.pybitshares.com/en/latest/index.html#create-a-wallet  ... how else might it have been created?
• Does a private key need to be added for that wallet
• What is the relationship between the account "xeroc" and the wallet that was created?
• Are the terms "wallet" and "account" official Bitshares terminology? Where are they defined

Hello, I would like to get the following example from the PyBitshares documentation [1] to work:

   
    from bitshares import BitShares
    bitshares = BitShares()
    bitshares.wallet.unlock("wallet-passphrase")
    bitshares.transfer("<to>", "<amount>", "<asset>", "[<memo>]",
                        account="<from>")

Although this is not the meat of my problem, you cannot supply keyword parameters after positional parameters. Therefore the call to .transfer() cannot have account=<from> parameter at the end.

Anyway, moving on to the real issues, it seems that before you can get this example to work, you need to decide on a wallet operation model (Wallet Database, Provide Keys, Force Keys). For this discussion, I would like to focus on providing keys.

The Bitshares constructor [2] accepts a `keys` parameter whose value may be an array, dictionary or string. This leads to the following questions:

1 - what is a wif key? What does "wif" stand for?
2 - Where would I access the private key for an OpenLedger account? Please provide a precise navigation sequence.
3 - Where would I access the private key for a Crypto-Bridge account? Please provide a precise navigation sequence.
4 - Once I find the private key how does one supply it? The docs state the types of things that the `keys` parameter accepts, but it does not show how to supply it.

After looking at the wallet documentation [3] I have a few more questions:

1 - after adding a private key, does PyBitshares automatically know which Bitshares account it belongs to? For instance, if I add the private keys for the the bitshares user bev123 [4] am I able to call getActiveKeyForAccount [5] and supply 'bev123' as the name of the account?
