Hi I am running Python web3.py(Not web3.js) to interact with contract functions:
txn = ctrtInstance.functions.setzString(zString).buildTransaction()
txn['nonce'] = 3643 # I have to add those into txn because Python complains about missing arguments
txn['chainId'] = 3 # for Ropsten network
So txn has values: {'value': 0, 'gas': 33504, 'gasPrice': 1000000000, 'chainId': 3, 'to': '0x5227Dxyzxyzxyz', 'data': '0xb32e420700000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000200000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000007476f204d616e2100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000', 'nonce': 3643}
signed = w3.eth.account.signTransaction(txn, privateKey)
txn_hash = w3.eth.sendRawTransaction(signed.rawTransaction)
signed: AttrDict({'rawTransaction': HexBytes('0xf8ca820e3f8408f0d1808282e0945227d720d8efdcb259c6c79c74f3cfe04dc4d4fa80b864b32e420700000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000200000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000007476f204d616e21000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002aa0d6caf903ed36cbd971612805e0506c8800d8d7d2bf8e96efcbd17ef87ca103dda02875ef8165c191658e91d81c3f1a52e32f0ecb57956a943496290f9bd400080e'), 'hash': HexBytes('0xcd96d8b646eabcaf40955a44b3bfd0bdd8eb8c8baab1d5eb1788802905fedd0d'), 'r': 97153571344605986608608195363439103576254965532977107907893318995927525032925, 's': 18300888055835900205586458475722080051361212052928774052376466183455388993550, 'v': 42})
The txn_hash is ASCII binary presentation of the bytes. txn_hash: b'\xcd\x96\xd8\xb6F\xea\xbc\xaf@\x95ZD\xb3\xbf\xd0\xbd\xd8\xeb\x8c\x8b\xaa\xb1\xd5\xeb\x17\x88\x80)\x05\xfe\xdd\r'
convert it by using
import binascii
binascii.hexlify(txn_hash)
then I got: b'cd96d8b646eabcaf40955a44b3bfd0bdd8eb8c8baab1d5eb1788802905fedd0d'
But why can't Ropsten EtherScan find such transaction(even a few minutes later so mining time delay is not the reason) when I enter cd96d8b646eabcaf40955a44b3bfd0bdd8eb8c8baab1d5eb1788802905fedd0d ???
About my account:
w3 = Web3(HTTPProvider('http://room1.abc.com:8545/'))
print('Using a local Parity node: for Ropsten & Kovan network')
But I am using my own generated account that is not related to this node.
Where is my transaction? Appearently this transaction did not go through because after checking the contract variable value, it is still the old value.(even a few minutes later so mining time delay is not the reason) But Python did not give me any error. So what's wrong??? Please help. Thank you
