Pybitcointools, Python library for Bitcoin signatures and transactions

Advantages:

  • Functions have a simple interface, inputting and outputting in standard formats
  • No classes
  • Many functions can be taken out and used individually
  • Supports binary, hex and base58
  • Transaction deserialization format almost compatible with BitcoinJS
  • Electrum and BIP0032 support
  • Make and publish a transaction all in a single command line instruction
  • Includes non-bitcoin-specific conversion and JSON utilities

Disadvantages:

  • Not a full node, has no idea what blocks are
  • Relies on centralized service (blockchain.info) for blockchain operations, although operations do have backups (eligius, blockr.io)

Example usage (best way to learn :) ):
