Unable to use web3.py to work with Ethereum when starknet-devnet is installed in same env

[antazoey]

Describe the bug In projects that use both Ethereum and Starknet, we need web3.py to facilitate deploying Ethereum transactions. However, we are running into eth-abi encoding issues regarding address arguments to the transactions. We notice that this only occurs when starknet-devnet is installed. When starknet-devnet is uninstalled, the transactions work as expected. Otherwise, we are unable to pass addresses as arguments to them.

• [x] This issue is only present on Devnet and cannot be reproduced on alpha-goerli (check the box if true).

To Reproduce

• Install starknet-devnet
• Use web3.py to connect to Ethereum and deploy a txn
• Notice address encoding errors
• Nothing starknet is actually used, just installed

Expected behavior

Able to still use Ethereum when starknet-devnet is installed

@ca11ab1e Fixed in what sense? This was an issue on your side?

[ca11ab1e]

Yes, it was an issue on my side.

@unparalleled-js should confirm, but the issue was that as soon as ape-starknet was installed, it was being used for non-Starknet stuff. For instance Ape was trying to decode Solidity contract addresses using the Starknet-specific function. If I'm right, and not off-topic, that's not a devnet issue.
