@miohtama Hi, I am a first-time contributor and I want to contribute to web3py. I am looking into this issue and tried out the (sample code)[https://web3py.readthedocs.io/en/stable/contracts.html#contracts] and it works fine. Do you give more context regarding the local signing middleware and which part of the example where you sign using your Ethereum node?

Happy Friday everyone! This is something I can update, just worked on the middleware section relating to signing transactions. ☕. @simonjulianl if you are still interested we could collaborate.

Hi @B3nac , I would love to collaborate with you and learn from you too!

Awesome! 😃 With this example we only need to adapt the functions to the methods that sign with a local key. Which means all transact() calls will be obsolete in the example here https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/blob/78e01cf264753b8a20d9c1cba113d893c0ff4e63/docs/contracts.rst. We could make an example that uses send_raw_transaction() and another that uses construct_sign_and_send_raw_middleware. Do you think this is a good idea @kclowes? Also @simonjulianl you should join the web3.py Discord if you haven't already it will make collaborating easier and it is where all the cool kids hang out. 😆

@B3nac cool! I have joined the Discord channel and would contact you there for further details

Yeah, I think that's a great idea! Thanks @B3nac!
