Python library for TON Connect 2.0

[XaBbl4]

Summary

At this step, it is proposed to create a library for working with the TON Connect protocol in Python.

Context

At the moment, there is only one library for working with the TON Connect protocol - written in JS. Need libraries in other languages to reach as many developers and improve the quality of dApps.
For the first version, need to add support http-bridge-compatible wallets.

Goals

• Develop a library for working with the TON Connect in Python.
• Help Python developers integrate TON Connect into dApps written in Python.

Deliverables

• GitHub repository with the implementation TON Connect protocol in Python

Definition of Done

• GitHub repository with the source code - link
• Publish library to pypi.org - link
• Create a PR to ton-connect repository with a link to the Python library - link

Reward

• Standard TON Footstep NFT
• 1000 USD in TON equivalent

Total: $1000

[XaBbl4]

I have almost finished development the TON Connect protocol inside my telegram bot, but it takes several weeks (maybe less) to make it a separate library.

Closed because not assigned and a new issue has been created. Sad for the wasted time.

@XaBbl4, we apologize. I’ll give an answer soon. Maybe we’ll reopen it.

[Naltox]

LGTM!

[delovoyhomie]

@XaBbl4, you can continue to perform this footstep.
Sorry for the delay.
Please report about progress here!

[Gusarich]

We also need to decide the reward.

[delovoyhomie]

@krigga, what do you think about the amount of reward?

[krigga]

I believe a reward of about $1000 would be fair.

[delovoyhomie]

@XaBbl4, do you agree with the $1000 reward? Ready to do it?

[XaBbl4]

@delovoyhomie, yes, that's ok.

Current status:

• The first version of the library is available on GitHub and PyPI (links in description of footstep)
• Connection to the wallet works.
• Requests for sending transactions are working.
• Syntax is the same as TonConnectSDK for JS, except function naming is in lower_case_with_underscores.

Needs do:

• Parsing execution result when transactions are sent
• Checking ton_proof

[XaBbl4]

Added parsing of the result of send transaction and connect event requests. Also added ton_proof check (and example for it).
Please review the code on github.
There are still places that can be improved, but now can use it.
After the review, I will create a PR to ton-connect.

There is also a telegram bot with a demo, but not yet completed.

[delovoyhomie]

@krigga or @Naltox, can you make sure that the work is done correctly by reviewing the code on github?

[krigga]

Sure, I'll review it

[krigga]

@XaBbl4 I couldn't properly verify that the library works due to this issue XaBbl4/pytonconnect#1

[XaBbl4]

@krigga Thanks. Fixed it. Didn't check this import option, always used from pytonconnect import TonConnect

[krigga]

Didn't check this import option, always used from pytonconnect import TonConnect

That one didn't work, too. I'll check the fix soon.

[delovoyhomie]

@XaBbl4 I couldn't properly verify that the library works due to this issue XaBbl4/pytonconnect#1

@krigga, is the issue fixed? What steps are left to complete the footstep?

[delovoyhomie]

@XaBbl4, complete the third milestone. Submit PR to ton-connect repository with a link to the Python library.

[krigga]

Yes, the library works, I believe the footstep is complete (barring the third milestone).
I would like to ask the author to implement two features for ease of use: provide an implementation of IStorage that uses the filesystem to cache the connection data, and add a method like connector.wait_for_connection() so as not to rely on asyncio.sleep or similar to wait for the connection. However, I believe this does not block the footstep.

[XaBbl4]

@delovoyhomie, Add PR to ton-connect (not without problems, making a couple of unnecessary commits, that don’t know how to remove)

@krigga, I'll try to add it soon. There are a functions that I wanted to complete, also add an example of using the library with a telegram bot, but have not yet found the time to finish it.

[delovoyhomie]

@XaBbl4, I would be very grateful if you could implement a telegram bot to connect the wallet, as it was done in #176.

Let's do the same with the bot and documentation in a new footstep once we are done with this.

As far as I know, it is possible to revert changes to previous ones (about couple of unnecessary commits) Please try to sort out this problem.

One commit got into the PR, just a few were added to the Issue history of footstep. I did't work with github so often, more with gitlab.

@XaBbl4, could you please let me know here when the PR to ton-connect-list has been merged?

@krigga, publish v0.2.0: added method wait_for_connection() and class FileStorage, also added example to github-repository how to use it.

could you please let me know here when the PR to ton-connect-list has been merged?

@delovoyhomie, something I doubt that the PR will be accepted quickly, there is another PR dated March 30 which remained without discussion.

[krigga]

@XaBbl4 the new features work, thank you. Could you please remove these specifiers https://github.com/XaBbl4/pytonconnect/blob/5e860b52359a43919605f25239f96467724f07f8/setup.cfg#L15-L16 in the manifest? Python 3.8 cannot handle the type hints like list[dict] and throws an Exception when trying to import pytonconnect. After that, I have no more requests.

[delovoyhomie]

@XaBbl4, please send me your wallet address to receive the reward.

[XaBbl4]

@krigga, thx. To keep compatibility with Python 3.7 and 3.8, the type hint changed to List[dict], because support of Python 3.8 will end in 2024.10
