You really, really don't want to be doing that. Use a proper SPV client.

Works fine for me right now. When someone creates a competitor to BCI that provides SPV proofs in an API, I'll be the first to include fully validating support into pybitcointools. Until then, sorry, convenience and zero loading time (yes, even SPV clients are not instant) win out.

Electrum is within a second, instant.
