(txhash,txix,funds)=Mint.get_utxo(address)

#Output of UTXO, 1.4 min
output=1400000

## Generate Metdata:
asset_name_hex=str("bTest").encode('UTF-8').hex()
test_file=[{"mediaType":"image/png","name":asset_name_hex,"src":test_ipfs}]

final,hex_toke=Mint.metadata_gen(check_policyID,asset_name_hex,real_name="TTC001",ipfs=test_ipfs,files=[test_file])

print(hex_toke)   #hex_toke is produce as policy_id.asset_name from metadata_gen function

#Build Transaction

output_gen=f"\"1 {hex_toke}\""
print(output_gen)

#### CURRENTLY THIS WILL NOT WORK AS IT IS NOT RECOGNIZE FILE PATHS

I am trying to build a simple all-Python NFT minter and I am getting stuck on building a transaction with cardano-cli.

I have tried at least 20 different variations of the file path and cmd scripts. Right now I am getting an error in my terminal saying that “System can not find specified file path”. Any help would be greatly appreciate. I am currently running Python 3.9 out of VS on Windows 10.

In the cmd variable, you need to give every parameter as a separate element in the list.
cmd = [“cardano-cli”, “transaction”, “build”, …]
