tontools and tonsdk python libraries development

[yungwine]

Summary

TonTools is a popular high level python library, which allows to easily interact with ton using liteservers or apis (toncenter and tonapi currently) tonsdk is a low level python library, there are a lot of utilities like tvm types, token (nft and ft), wallet contracts

The footstep is about continue contribute and develop this libraries

Context

Python is one of the most popular programming languages, but there is lack of libraries to use it with TON and lack of developers to create and contribute them. So python developers who come into TON ecosystem suffer from lack of tools to develop in TON with python.

The main goal is to give them this ability and continue the development of the libraries.

Goals

tonsdk

• complete tvm types, such as add hashmaps parsing
• add/update contracts, for e.g. nft sale contract should be updated, nft sale auction contract should be added, jetton contract should be able to contain onchain metadata

TonTools

• Implement testnet support
• add way more examples, a separate example for almost every feature
• implement nft minting, jettons minting/burning, work with nft sales (auctions) contracts
• overwrite LsClient, from using ton library (which is abandoned) to use toncenter/pytonlib library
• overwrite TonApiClient to use tonapi v2 endpoints, because tonapi v1 soon become unsupported
• add tools to interact with HighLoad wallets
• add tools to interact with MultiSig wallets
• implement interaction with dton

Deliverables

• new version of tonsdk library
• new version of tontools library

hi! I am TonTools creator and tonsdk top-2 contributor so if approve, I can do this ☺️

[tvorogme]

Hi! We're ready to support dton implementation with 400 TON.

[yungwine]

should I remove the 400 TON award from the footstep, given that the disintar team decided to support implementation of dton in tontools?

Can you please change reward amounts from Toncoins to USD?

i think it would be great to make functions for parsing some config parameters in tonsdk as @Gusarich mentioned in footstep #119, so i can do that within tonsdk updating in this footstep. what do you guys think?
