pytezos 3.11.2

Python toolkit for Tezos

PyTezos

• RPC query engine
• Cryptography
• Building and parsing operations
• Smart contract interaction
• Local forging/packing & vice versa
• Working with Michelson AST

PyTezos CLI

• Generating contract parameter/storage schema
• Activating and revealing accounts
• Deploying contracts (+ GitHub integration)

Michelson REPL

• Builtin interpreter (reimplemented)
• Set of extra helpers (stack visualization, blockchain context mocking)

Michelson Jupyter kernel

• Custom interpreter with runtime type checker
• Syntax highlighting, autocomplete with Tab
• In-place docstrings with Shift+Tab
• Macros support
• Verbose execution logging
• Debug helpers

Michelson integration testing framework

• Writing integration tests using unittest package
• Simulating contract execution using remote intepreter (via RPC) or builtin one

Installation

Make sure you have Python 3.8 to 3.11 installed and set as default in the system.

You also need to install cryptographic packages before installing the library/building the project:

Linux

Ubuntu, Debian and other apt-based distributions

$ sudo apt install libsodium-dev libsecp256k1-dev libgmp-dev pkg-config

Arch Linux

$ sudo pacman -Syu --needed libsodium libsecp256k1 gmp

MacOS

Homebrew needs to be installed.

$ brew tap cuber/homebrew-libsecp256k1
$ brew install libsodium libsecp256k1 gmp pkg-config

M1 (ARM)

In case secp256k1 or gmp cannot find either include or lib paths, try explicitly set environment vars:

CFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/gmp/6.2.1_1/include/ -L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/gmp/6.2.1_1/lib/" LIB_DIR="/opt/homebrew/Cellar/libsecp256k1/0.1/lib" INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/libsecp256k1/0.1/include pip3 install --user pytezos

For running tests you might also need to export LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib/

Windows

The recommended way is to use WSL and then follow the instructions for Linux, but if you feel lucky you can try to install natively:

1. Install MinGW from https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/
2. Make sure C:\MinGW\bin is added to your PATH
3. Download the latest libsodium-X.Y.Z-msvc.zip from https://download.libsodium.org/libsodium/releases/.
4. Extract the Win64/Release/v143/dynamic/libsodium.dll from the zip file
5. Copy libsodium.dll to C:\Windows\System32\libsodium.dll

From PyPi

$ pip install wheel setuptools pkginfo cryptography
$ pip install pytezos

Google Colab

>>> !apt install libsodium-dev libsecp256k1-dev libgmp-dev
>>> !pip install pytezos

Docker container

Verified & minified images for CI/CD https://hub.docker.com/r/bakingbad/pytezos/tags

$ # 1. Use image from registry
$ docker pull bakingbad/pytezos
$ # or build it yourself
$ docker build . -t pytezos
$ # 2. Use included docker-compose.yml
$ docker-compose up -d notebook

Building from sources

Requirements:

• Python 3.8+
• libsodium, libsecp256k1, gmp
• make

$ # prepare environment
$ make install
# # run full CI with tests
$ make

Inline documentation

If you are working in Jupyter/Google Colab or any other interactive console, you can display documentation for a particular class/method:

>>> from pytezos import pytezos
>>> pytezos
