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
```
### Testing
For testing you can use the `TestRPCProvider`. This depends on
`eth-testrpc>=0.2.0` which must be installed independently (It is not included
as a hard dependency for this package.)
```python
from web3 import Web3, TestRPCProvider
# Initialising a Web3 instance with an RPCProvider:
web3rpc = Web3(TestRPCProvider())
# or specifying host and port.
web3rpc = Web3(TestRPCProvider(host="127.0.0.1", port="8545"))
```
The `TestRPCProvider` uses an EVM backed by the `ethereum.tester` module from
the `pyethereum` package. This can be quite useful for testing your code which
uses `web3.py`.
### 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 = json.joads("<abi-json-string>")
>>> ContractFactory = web3.eth.contracT(abi, code="0x...")
>>> ContractFactory.deploy()
... '0x461e829a731d96539ec1f147232f1d52b475225ed343e5853ff6bf3b237c6e79'
>>> contract = web3.eth.contract(abi, address="0x...")
>>> contract.transact().someMethod()
... '0xfbb0f76aa6a6bb8d178bc2b54de8fc7ca778d704af47d135c188ca7b5d25f2e4'
>>> contract.call().return13()
... 13
>>> contract.estimateGas().someMethod()
... 23212
```
You can listen for events using the `on` and `pastEvents` functions on a
contract.
```python
def transfer_callback(log_entry):
... # do something with the log.
# create a filter and register a callback.
filter = MyContract.on("Transfer", {})
filter.watch(transfer_callback)
filter.stop_watching()
```
The underlying asynchronous operations are managed by `gevent`.
### Timeouts, blocking and nonblocking requests
Web3.py does not currently support asynchronous calling patterns.
