Simplified Ethereum for Python

Simpleth (Simplified Ethereum) simplifies the use of Python to interact with a Ganache Ethereum blockchain and its Solidity smart contracts.

Simpleth is a set of five Python facade classes that use the web3.py API to interact with the smart contracts through a Ganache Ethereum client.

Simpleth only supports a portion of the web3.py functionality - the portion that a Python developer uses to interact with contracts.

The aim is to provide Python developers a quick and easy way to:

• deploy contracts onto the blockchain

• run transactions in those contracts

• call functions in those contracts

• get values for public state variables in those contracts

• use filters to find events emitted by those contracts

• get data about the blockchain, contracts, transactions, and events

The intended audience:

• Python developers who want to:

  • learn to code smart contracts in Solidity

  • play around with Ethereum and smart contracts using the Python interpreter and scripts

  • build proof-of-concept dapps with Python scripts or flask

  • build production dapps using Python in a single-user test environment

  • see a working example of the web3.py API by looking at simpleth internals

• Solidity developers looking for examples of:

  • basic functions in a smart contract, esp. if just starting out

  • more advanced functions in a smart contract, esp. for use in medium-complexity dapps.
