Encode data fields, programmatically execute trade transaction

Question

I'm trying to encode the data fields according to the contract ABI using Pyethereum in python. I'm making a raw transaction. I'm successfully able send ether from one address to another by signing a transaction and then sending it raw. Now i'm trying to execute a trade function on a contract, hence the need for the data field encoding.

I feel like there should be some encode function built into Pyethereum but I cannot find it. Should I encode these manually instead? How should I go about this?

Function: trade(address tokenGet, uint256 amountGet, address tokenGive, uint256 amountGive, uint256 expires, uint256 nonce, address user, uint8 v, bytes32 r, bytes32 s, uint256 amount)

Answer 1

I actually wrote a blog post about this a few days ago :)

The Ethereum Wiki documentation on the matter is here.

None of your inputs are of unknown length and as such it is simply a case of encoding the input arguments and padding them appropriately.
