A python implementation of [web3.js](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.js)

## Goals

* Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5 support
* Provide a feature-for-feature python implementation of Web3.js

## Installation
The pip package will probably be renamed to just "web3" in the near future.
```sh
pip install web3
```

## API

This documentation is not yet complete, although the API should offer most functionality described in the [Javascript API documentation](https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/JavaScript-API), except for contract events and filters.

### Initialisation

Initialising the Ethereum node
```sh
# IPC
geth --unlock 0 console

# RPC, if required, with --rpcaddr "localhost" --rpcport <port>
geth --rpc --unlock 0 console
```

Connecting to the Ethereum node

```python
from web3 import Web3, RPCProvider, IPCProvider

# Initialising a Web3 instance with an RPCProvider:
web3rpc = Web3(RPCProvider(host="127.0.0.1", port="8545"))

# Initialising a Web3 instance with an IPCProvider:
web3ipc = Web3(IPCProvider(ipcpath=None, testnet=False))
# Both arguments can be omitted, the ipcpath should be found automatically
```

### Setting defaults
```python
web3.config.defaultAccount = <your (unlocked) account>
web3.config.defaultBlock = "latest"
# Can also be an integer or one of "latest", "pending", "earliest"
```

### Interacting with contracts
```python
abi = "<abi string>"
contractFactory = web3.eth.contract(abi)
contract = contractFactory.at("0xaddress")
# The abi methods should now be available on the contract instance
```

### `web3`

#### web3: .db, .eth, .net, .personal, .ssh

Available as described in the [Javascript API documentation](https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/JavaScript-API).

##### `web3.sha3`

```python
>>> web3.sha3(b'some text')
'46ba1b442d3606a3437800ee7ae5a0249756405e676739b46aa8f6e85b13fe2b'
>>> web3.sha3('0x80', encoding='hex')
'56e81f171bcc55a6ff8345e692c0f86e5b48e01b996cadc001622fb5e363b421'
```


#### `web3.eth`

##### `web3.eth.iban`

```python
>>> web3.eth.iban("XE81ETHXREGGAVOFYORK")
<web3.eth.iban.Iban at 0x107301dd8>
```


###### `web3.eth.iban.fromAddress`

```python
>>> web3.eth.iban.fromAddress('0x00c5496aee77c1ba1f0854206a26dda82a81d6d8').toString()
'XE7338O073KYGTWWZN0F2WZ0R8PX5ZPPZS'
```


###### `web3.eth.iban.fromBban`

```python
>>> web3.eth.iban.fromBban('ETHXREGGAVOFYORK').toString()
'XE81ETHXREGGAVOFYORK'
```


###### `web3.eth.iban.createIndirect`

```python
>>> web3.eth.iban.createIndirect({
... 'institution': "XREG",
... 'identifier': "GAVOFYORK"
... }).toString()
'XE81ETHXREGGAVOFYORK'
```


###### `web3.eth.iban.isValid`

```python
>>> web3.eth.iban.isValid("XE81ETHXREGGAVOFYORK")
True

>>> web3.eth.iban.isValid("XE82ETHXREGGAVOFYORK")
False # false, cause checksum is incorrect

web3.eth.iban("XE81ETHXREGGAVOFYORK").isValid()
True
```


###### `web3.eth.iban.isDirect`

```python
>>> web3.eth.iban("XE81ETHXREGGAVOFYORK").isDirect()
False
```


###### `web3.eth.iban.isIndirect`

```python
>>> web3.eth.iban("XE81ETHXREGGAVOFYORK").isIndirect()
True
```


###### `web3.eth.iban.checksum`

```python
>>> web3.eth.iban("XE81ETHXREGGAVOFYORK").checksum()
'81'
```


###### `web3.eth.iban.institution`

```python
>>> web3.eth.iban("XE81ETHXREGGAVOFYORK").institution()
'XREG'
```


###### `web3.eth.iban.client`

```python
>>> web3.eth.iban("XE81ETHXREGGAVOFYORK").client()
'GAVOFYORK'
```


###### `web3.eth.iban.address`

```python
>>> web3.eth.iban('XE7338O073KYGTWWZN0F2WZ0R8PX5ZPPZS').address()
'00c5496aee77c1ba1f0854206a26dda82a81d6d8'
```


###### `web3.eth.iban.toString`

```python
>>> web3.eth.iban('XE7338O073KYGTWWZN0F2WZ0R8PX5ZPPZS').toString()
'XE7338O073KYGTWWZN0F2WZ0R8PX5ZPPZS'
```
