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
```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
```
