From ENS Name to hash AND print in console

Question

I'm just studying about Ethereum, ENS and and and.. Actually I try to compute an ENS .eth Name to a hash. In https://app.ens.domains/name I baught a ENS .eth Name with the Ropsten Testnetwork. Now I have some things like registrant and controller (which is obviously my Ropsten ID).

So far so good. My aim is e.g. to ask in console what the hash of my .eth adress is and vice versa. I try to program this with the web3.py libary but I don't have any clue how to resolve this.

Could someone give me a hint

Cheers

Answer 1

web3.py contains an ens module to simplify ENS lookups.

>>> from ens.auto import ns

>>> ns.address('jasoncarver.eth')
'0x5B2063246F2191f18F2675ceDB8b28102e957458'

>>> from ens.auto import ns
>>> ns.name('0x5B2063246F2191f18F2675ceDB8b28102e957458')
'jasoncarver.eth'

See the web3.py ENS documentation for a more detailed explanation.

Answer 2

So when I use the command ns.address('jasoncarver.eth') I get the following error (with Python 3.6)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/web3/contract.py", line 1431, in call_contract_function
    output_data = web3.codec.decode_abi(output_types, return_data)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/eth_abi/codec.py", line 179, in decode_abi
    return decoder(stream)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/eth_abi/decoding.py", line 127, in __call__
    return self.decode(stream)

    yield decoder(stream)

    return self.decode(stream)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/eth_abi/decoding.py", line 198, in decode
    raw_data = self.read_data_from_stream(stream)

    len(data),
eth_abi.exceptions.InsufficientDataBytes: Tried to read 32 bytes.  Only got 0 bytes

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Answer 3

You prob fixed this already, but this works for me & could be useful for others, so I'm posting it anyway

#! /usr/bin/python3

from ens.auto import ns
from ens import ENS

# instantiate w3 instance
from web3 import Web3

w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider("https://eth-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/*******"))
ns = ENS.from_web3(w3)
print(ns.address("jasoncarver.eth"))
