ZMQ example using python3's asyncio
Bitcoin should be started with the command line arguments:
bitcoind -testnet -daemon \
-zmqpubhashblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:28332 \
-zmqpubrawtx=tcp://127.0.0.1:28332 \
-zmqpubhashtx=tcp://127.0.0.1:28332 \
-zmqpubhashblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:28332
We use the asyncio library here. `self.handle()` installs itself as a
future at the end of the function. Since it never returns with the event
loop having an empty stack of futures, this creates an infinite loop. An
alternative is to wrap the contents of `handle` inside `while True`.
A blocking example using python 2.7 can be obtained from the git history:
