I merged in the #1858 changes (in #1871 ) and am starting in on a release...

@SerpentChris

If I want to make a chain to use for testing a smart contract, can I use the Chain class instead of the MiningChain class?

Christoph Burgdorf

@cburgdorf

@SerpentChris You need the MiningChain class when you want to build blocks incrementally instead of importing blocks in one go.

Jason Carver

@carver

For testing, you might be interested in using web3.py with eth-tester (which uses py-evm under the hood)

Bryant Eisenbach

@fubuloubu

is Python 3.8 in the works for this project and eth-tester?

Jason Carver

@carver

I don't think there should be any problems w/ running it in py3.8. Do you know of anything? Obviously we'll want to add tests at some point, but it's not an active project that I know of @fubuloubu

Jason Carver

@carver

nm, I see in ethereum/vyper#1678 that there's some problem with the blake2b library

Bryant Eisenbach

@fubuloubu

We were trying to upgrade, but I think it's just been premature. Is it just me, or has 3.7/3.8 moved a lot faster than previous release?

@Moniroaf

18 days later, ACD is noisy because of the difficulty bomb. :/

TL;DR: There might be an out-of-schedule call on Friday.

(I suggest you wonderful busy folk don't waste time on reading it all.)

Jason Carver

@carver

whoops, thanks for pointing it out (twice now!)

Noel Maersk

@veox

Heh, that's not what I meant by the comment, but thanks for fixing. :)

Happy thanksgiving, americans! I'm looking to be pointed in the right direction with how to play with py-evm... I want to do essentially what is done in this exercise: https://easythereentropy.wordpress.com/2014/06/04/understanding-the-ethereum-trie/ -- but using py-evm instead of pythereum, and using the nice boilerplate project template that you have in the cookbooks. My question is where in the py-evm API or source would I find the logic that does the same thing trie.py does in pyethereum? Or, perhaps I'm totally going about this the wrong way, in which case my question is even more general: What's a good starting place for simple DB/State/Trie understanding of the evm?

Jason Carver

@carver

Yeah, if you just want to play around with tries, check out https://github.com/ethereum/py-trie @gichiba
I just noticed an "early release" warning on the README of py-trie. That could be removed now. It is the library that py-evm uses, and has gone through a solid amount of testing at this point. It could be optimized a lot more, but I'm not generally concerned about correctness, at least for evm-specific configurations (like always using 32-byte keys).

@gichiba

Thanks @carver !

I'm preparing py-evm for the Istanbul fix release today. The previous release incorrectly included an ice age delay.

Jason Carver

@carver

@/all py-evm with the fixed Istanbul (and a couple other things) is released:

@veox

I have a feeling someone'll have to take over PR #1885 from me, or provide a lot of guidance.

The current lint failures are all for improper definitions/returns in low-level API classes: AccountDatabaseAPI, OpcodeAPI, VirtualMachineAPI; and some related abstract classes.

Take a look at this CI job most errors are an either-or choice, and I don't know which one is "correct".

There's also

eth/chains/base.py:250: error: Unexpected keyword argument "chain_context" for "VirtualMachineAPI"
eth/abc.py:2270: note: "VirtualMachineAPI" defined here

which means something unexpected may be happening.

Jason Carver

@carver

I'm on mobile now, but if you cc me on the PR, I'll take a look

Noel Maersk

@veox

@carver I went AFK immediately after posting y-day, sorry. Maybe it was a little too panicky. I'll cc you in a sec.

@KjetilVaa

Does anyone have any experience with Clique consensus who can help?

Noel Maersk

@veox

@KjetilVaa Very little. Anything specific?

Alan Justino da Silva

@alanjds

Hi. How near the py-evm is of the Golang version?

I mean, is it "safe" or is better to interface with the Golang via RPCs?

Jason Carver

@carver

It's in alpha, so it's not production-ready. @alanjds
Also, if you want to run a node, check out trinity which uses py-evm under the hood, but also handles all the peering, json-rpc, etc (also in alpha, of course)

Tkx, @carver. I will take a look.
