Strange result for w3.eth.filter({'fromBlock': 2500000, 'toBlock': 'latest'})?

Question

I use Parity:

Parity-Ethereum//v2.2.7-stable-b00a21f-20190115/x86_64-linux-gnu/rustc1.31.1

I tried code to see new entries for block range.

l = w3.eth.filter({'fromBlock': 2500000, 'toBlock': 'latest'})
l = l.get_new_entries()
print(l)

But the result was only for latest block:

Why?

Answer 1

Have you tried using get_all_entries instead of get_new_entries? The former returns all entries matching the filter, but the later only returns entries since the last poll. Check out this post and the documentation for more information.
