Each Web3
instance exposes the following APIs.
Each Web3
instance also exposes these namespaced APIs.
Modules that inherit from the web3.module.Module
class may be attached to the Web3
instance either at instantiation or by making use of the attach_modules()
method.
To instantiate the Web3
instance with external modules:
>>> from web3 import Web3, EthereumTesterProvider
>>> w3 = Web3(
... EthereumTesterProvider(),
... external_modules={
... # ModuleClass objects in this example inherit from the `web3.module.Module` class
... 'module1': ModuleClass1,
... 'module2': (ModuleClass2, {
... 'submodule1': ModuleClass3,
... 'submodule2': (ModuleClass4, {
... 'submodule2a': ModuleClass5, # submodule children may be nested further if necessary
... })
... })
... }
... )
# `return_zero`, in this case, is an example attribute of the `ModuleClass1` object
>>> w3.module1.return_zero
0
>>> w3.module2.submodule1.return_one
1
>>> w3.module2.submodule2.submodule2a.return_two
