PyEthereum was a Python implementation of the Ethereum protocol, the next-generation cryptocurrency network. The project is officially deprecated and no longer supported, with Py-EVM suggested as its successor.
Use cases
- run an ethereum node in python
- interact with the ethereum blockchain from python
- study a legacy ethereum protocol implementation
- understand how ethereum clients work
When to choose
- you need to read or study historical ethereum client code
- you are researching the evolution of ethereum implementations
When to avoid
- you want to build anything on ethereum today - use py-evm or web3.py instead
- you need a maintained or supported library
- you need security updates for production use
