web3.py equivalent to geth console command eth.pendingTransactions

Question

I'm currently running a geth server and use the geth console for sysadmin stuff, while using web3.py for interfacing with geth programmatically. From the geth console, there is a handy command eth.pendingTransactions that shows all the pending transactions local to my geth server.

A Google search for a similar web3.py command yields some info on Github regarding web3.txpool

Unfortunately, this shows all pending PUBLIC transactions that will be included in the next mainnet block. What I want to see, however, are transactions that are only local to my geth node.

For this use case do I have to code something up myself, or is there a good method I can use?

Answer 1

Filtering the pending transactions for the sending account of interest is the way to go.
