-### SpendFrom ###
-
-Use the raw transactions API to send coins received on a particular
-address (or addresses).
-
-### Usage: ###
-Depends on [jsonrpc](http://json-rpc.org/).
-
- spendfrom.py --from=FROMADDRESS1[,FROMADDRESS2] --to=TOADDRESS --amount=amount \
- --fee=fee --datadir=/path/to/.bitcoin --testnet --dry_run
-
-With no arguments, outputs a list of amounts associated with addresses.
-
-With arguments, sends coins received by the `FROMADDRESS` addresses to the `TOADDRESS`.
-
-### Notes ###
-
-- You may explicitly specify how much fee to pay (a fee more than 1% of the amount
-will fail, though, to prevent bitcoin-losing accidents). Spendfrom may fail if
-it thinks the transaction would never be confirmed (if the amount being sent is
-too small, or if the transaction is too many bytes for the fee).
-
-- If a change output needs to be created, the change will be sent to the last
-`FROMADDRESS` (if you specify just one `FROMADDRESS`, change will go back to it).
-
-- If `--datadir` is not specified, the default datadir is used.
-
-- The `--dry_run` option will just create and sign the transaction and print
-the transaction data (as hexadecimal), instead of broadcasting it.
-
-- If the transaction is created and broadcast successfully, a transaction id
-is printed.
-
-- If this was a tool for end-users and not programmers, it would have much friendlier
-error-handling.
