Some constructions are only available in tests, not in smart contracts.

sp.test_account(seed) → test_account

Creating a deterministic key-pair from a seed string:

python

# seed is `Alice`
alice = sp.test_account("Alice")

It produces an object with the following properties:

Property	Type	Description
alice.address	sp.address	Gives the public-key-hash
alice.public_key_hash	sp.key_hash	Gives the public-key-hash
alice.public_key	sp.key	Gives the public-key
alice.secret_key	sp.string	Gives the secret-key

sp.make_signature(secret_key, message, message_format = 'Raw') → sp.signature

Forges a signature compatible with sp.check_signature(...).

message_format field accepts two values:

• Hex in which case the message will be interpreted as an hexadecimal string;
• Raw (the default) in which case the message is a sp.bytes value (usually the result of an sp.pack call).
