EVM Transition Tool Package

Library of Python wrappers for the different implementations of transition tools.

ExecutionSpecsTransitionTool

Bases: GethTransitionTool

Ethereum Specs ethereum-spec-evm Transition tool interface wrapper class.

The behavior of this tool is almost identical to go-ethereum's evm t8n command.

How to use the ethereum-spec-evm tool:
  1. Create a virtual environment and activate it:
    python -m venv venv
    source venv/bin/activate
    
  2. Clone the ethereum/execution-specs repository and change working directory to it:
    git clone git@github.com:ethereum/execution-specs.git
    cd execution-specs
    
  3. Install the packages provided by the repository:
    pip install -e .
    
    Check that the ethereum-spec-evm command is available:
    ethereum-spec-evm --help
    
  4. Clone the ethereum/execution-specs-tests repository and change working directory to it:
    cd ..
    git clone git@github.com:ethereum/execution-spec-tests.git
    cd execution-spec-tests
    
  5. Install the packages provided by the ethereum/execution-spec-tests repository:
    pip install -e .
    
  6. Run the tests, specifying the ethereum-spec-evm command as the transition tool:
    fill --evm-bin=ethereum-spec-evm
