0.6.0 First stable release since the split from aleph-client

This is the first release of the Aleph.im Python SDK since the split from aleph-client.

The SDK is focused on bringing developers the best library to build tools on top of Aleph.im, while aleph-client provides the command line interface and will add new user features for using Aleph.im.

The main change is that you can now persist the HTTP(2) connection to the API of a Core Channel Node using the AlephClient object:

from aleph.sdk.client import AlephClient


async with AlephClient(api_server="https://api2.aleph.im") as client
    response: MessagesResponse = await client.get_messages(
        message_type="POST",
    )

    messages = response.messages
    for message in messages:
        print(message)

User accounts don't have to be passed to every call anymore, you can instantiate AuthenticatedAlephClient instead:

from aleph.sdk.chains.ethereum import ETHAccount, get_fallback_private_key
from aleph.sdk.client import AuthenticatedAlephClient

account = ETHAccount(private_key=get_fallback_private_key())
async with AuthenticatedAlephClient(
    account=account, api_server="https://api2.aleph.im"
) as client:
    post_message, message_status = await client.create_post(
        post_content="Hello Aleph!",
        post_type="POST",
        channel="TEST",
    )
