Problem with brownie

Question

when deploying the contract

it gives me

<function deploy_simple_storage at 0x0000021D6E255670>

What does that mean?

Deploy.py

from brownie import accounts,config,SimpleStorage


def deploy_simple_storage():
 ##local ganache -cli
 account=accounts[0]

 simple_storage=SimpleStorage.deploy({"from":account})
 stored_value=simple_storage.retrieve()
 print(stored_value)




def main():
 print(deploy_simple_storage)

Terminal after using brownie run scripts/deploy.py

INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s).

Answer 1

You are not actually calling the python function. Instead, you are printing out the function signature.

Simply change to

def main():
 deploy_simple_storage()

There is no reason to put a print around the function since it does not return anything.
