How to Use the PySuI SDK for Sui Blockchain

Oct 16, 2024 | Blockchain

Are you ready to dive into the world of Sui blockchain development? The PySuI SDK is your trusty toolkit in this adventure! Below, we will guide you through setting it up, using its features, and troubleshooting any issues.

1. Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure you have the following:

  • Rust (stable) for the installation of Sui binaries and building the pysui-fastcrypto wrapper (optional).
  • Python version 3.10 or greater.

Note: If you are moving from PySuI version 0.51.0 or earlier, it is highly recommended that you start with a new virtual environment and install from PyPi.

2. Installation Steps

Let’s install the PySuI SDK!

python3 -m venv env

Activate your environment:

source env/bin/activate

Finally, install the PySuI SDK:

pip install pysui

3. Understanding the PySuI Versioning

The current releases of PySuI are:

  • Release 0.70.0: Supports SUI 1.35.x RPC API and SUI 1.34.x GraphQL (devnet). Backwards compatible with Sui 1.29.x RPC API.
  • Release 0.68.0: Released on 2024-09-22. It includes breaking changes and is compatible with Sui 1.35.x RPC API.

4. Key Features

The PySuI SDK comes with a plethora of functionalities including:

  • GraphQL support, albeit currently in beta. Use cautiously in production environments.
  • Synchronous and asynchronous examples to facilitate your query and mutation operations.
  • Local node support using suibase, perfect for testing!

5. Setup Local Node

To interact with local nodes, ensure you leverage suibase for optimal performance in your testing workflow!

6. Analyzing Code with an Analogy

Think of the PySuI installation like setting up a garden. First, you need to prepare the soil (creating a virtual environment). Then, you plant your seeds (installing the SDK), ensuring that each seed is planted in its designated spot for optimal growth. As the garden flourishes, you have to periodically check it for any weeds (issues) and maintain it, ensuring that you have the best environment for your plants (development). Each tool and feature you utilize is like a specialized gardening tool, designed precisely for your needs!

7. Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any hurdles while working with PySuI, here are some troubleshooting tips:

  • Make sure you have all the prerequisites installed.
  • Check your Python version; it should be at least 3.10.
  • If you upgraded from a prior version, create a fresh virtual environment to avoid conflicts.
  • For specific issues, refer to the GitHub issue log.
