[BOUNTY] Improve Harmony Python SDK

[rlan35]

Description

We have a basic implementation of Python SDK: https://github.com/harmony-one/pyhmy. It has basic account and transaction functionalities but not as comprehensive as other SDK. The documentation of it is also not complete. We will need implementation of the missing rpcs, more documentation, example usage and test cases.

Time Estimation

2-4 weeks

Acceptance Criteria

• Sample of how to use the library.
• Add support for all the blockchain rpcs according to https://github.com/harmony-one/harmony/tree/main/rpc, including signing support for normal and staking transactions, and smart contract deployment/interaction features.
• Double check correctness of existing documentation and missing documentation.
• Check None return types for rpcs.
• Add more unit test cases for all the rpcs.

Bounty

$5000 USD equivalent in ONE tokens.

Hi, @samhsiung , since this is a bounty, you can work on it by yourself and report the progress here.

I'm interested. Feel free to assign this to me.

Hi， @samhsiung we've added a few requirement on the transaction signing support and increased the bounty amount to $5000. If you still agree with the work. Feel free to continue.

Hi, @rlan35 I saw @difengJ is already working on the bounty and has a PR up so I will let him do it. Actually, I make a lot from staking harmony already and just wanted to help out :) I can still put up PRs since I'm interested in using the python SDK in the future.

Harmony python SDK bounty
2) nathanganser has started work.

I'm totally new to open source contributing but super excited to get started. It's really weird as I'm not sure what sort of improvements the Harmony team is looking for but I'm sure I'll be supported and guided :)
3) pmm09c has started work.

Working on the bounty
4) firke has started work.

Will work on improving Pyhmy SDK as outlined in acceptance criteria, as well as any additional improvements which will find along the way.
5) andrei-elizaga has started work.

• Implement the missing RPCs
• More documentation
• Example usage and test cases
  6) xf3rnox has started work.

I will expand the harmony-one python SDK to ensure it includes:

• Methods for all available harmony RPC calls
• Examples for all non-trivial calls, at a minimum
• General usage examples/quickstart
• Test cases for all public SDK methods
  7) maxmustermann2 has started work.

Add missing RPC commands, add documentation, add README, add support for signing transactions, add and increase test coverage

we have increased the scope of this bounty and also the amount. what is submitted by difengj is only improving the rpcs: harmony-one/pyhmy#14. you guys can split the tasks to expedite the process?

[difengJ]

@gupadhyaya do we have to register in gitcoin first and start to work? @samhsiung i am ok with the idea that we finish this task together.

[3shv]

I would like to work on this. It seems so far no one added this feature

1. signing support for normal and staking transactions, and smart contract deployment/interaction features

Let me know if anyone else is working on it. Else I will start the work by looking at the go-sdk and porting it to python

I'm working on a fix for this issue. Will submit a clean PR shortly!

[Luzijano]

Submitted a small SDK improvement PR related to this bounty acceptance criterion (“Check None return types for rpcs”): harmony-one/pyhmy#48

It fixes blockchain.get_total_supply() returning None despite a valid RPC result, and adds regression coverage.

[MikeGarciaAGM]

I would like to claim this bounty and work on a focused first slice.

Plan:

1. Reproduce and document current SDK gaps with a benchmark script.
2. Implement a minimal, production-ready SDK improvement with tests.
3. Submit a PR with docs updates and benchmark before/after notes.

If preferred, I can split this into smaller PRs for faster review.
