Python Ethereum Client
Project description
Introduction
pyethapp is the python based client implementing the Ethereum cryptoeconomic state machine.
Ethereum as a platform is focussed on enabling people to build new ideas using blockchain technology.
The python implementation aims to provide an easily hackable and extendable codebase.
pyethapp leverages two ethereum core components to implement the client:
pyethereum - the core library, featuring the blockchain, the ethereum virtual machine, mining
pydevp2p - the p2p networking library, featuring node discovery for and transport of multiple services over multiplexed and encrypted connections
Installation and invocation
git clone https://github.com/ethereum/pyethapp
cd pyethapp
python setup.py install
pyethapp (shows help)
pyethapp run (starts the client)
There is also Dockerfile in the repo.
Invocation on the Frontier Main Net
In order to sync with the current live ethereum network, you need to provide some extra arguments. Note, that these will not be necessary in future releases.
`pyethapp -c eth.network_id=1 -c eth.genesis=/full/path/to/genesis_w_extradata.json run`
Warning: If you invoked pyethapp without above eth.genesis arg, then there is already a wrong genesis block in the chain. You’ll need to delete your data directory (which is reported on startup). You can set a custom data directory with the -d <path> option.
genesis_w_extradata.json can be found in main dir of this repository.
Interacting
You can interact with the client using the JSONRPC api or directly on the console.
Status
