web3.py
to interact with an existing blockchain (like Ethereum), set up a connection to a testnet or a local blockchain using tools like Ganache
.Implement Persistence:
Build the Simulation Engine:

Persistency
, you'll likely encounter new challenges that will require further learning. Embrace this as part of the development process.
Here's a structured plan to develop this library, focusing on the core features of storing information in a strong and persistent state with blockchain integration.
1. Project Setup
2. Implement the Core Modules
a) Blockchain Module (
blockchain.py
)create_blockchain
: Initialize and manage the blockchain.add_transaction
: Add transactions (communications, state changes) to the blockchain.validate_chain
: Ensure the integrity of the blockchain.query_blockchain
: Retrieve historical states/events from the blockchain.Use Web3.py if integrating with Ethereum, or implement a custom lightweight blockchain for internal use.
b) Database Module (
db.py
)Functions:
store_state
: Store the current state of the simulation in the blockchain DB.retrieve_state
: Retrieve the state based on time or event ID.c) Simulation Module (
simulation.py
)Functions:
initialize_simulation
: Set up the initial state.update_state
: Process events and update the state.praying
: Agent communication with the simulation (logged in the blockchain).d) Communication Module (
communication.py
)Functions:
peer_to_peer_communication
: Handle direct communication between agents.log_communication
: Log communications on the blockchain.3. Testing
Write Unit Tests: Implement tests for each module in the
tests
directory using a framework likepytest
.4. Setup Script (
setup.py
)Package the Library: Create a setup script to package and distribute your library.
5. Documentation
6. Deployment
Publish to PyPI: Once your library is ready, you can publish it to PyPI so that others can install it via pip.
7. Example Usage
Provide an example in your documentation of how to use the
Persistency
library:
