web3.py v7.0.0-beta.9 (2024-08-01)
Breaking Changes

* Upgrades to use latest ``ABI`` utilities and typings from ``eth-utils`` and ``eth-typing``.

Typings for ABI components are now available in the eth-typing package. ABI types previously in web3.types have been removed.
New versions of existing ABI functions were added to eth-utils and are now exposed in web3.py via web3.utils.abi.
ABI exceptions have been renamed in web3.exceptions. The ABIEventFunctionNotFound and FallbackNotFound exceptions have been removed. Use ABIEventNotFound and ABIFallbackNotFound instead.
MismatchedABI exceptions are raised instead of a Web3ValidationError for ABI related errors.
encode_abi arguments have been updated to use abi_element_name instead of fn_name. ([#3408](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3408) &amp;lt;https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3408&amp;gt;__)


Remove Web3ValidationError dependence / inheritance from eth-utils ValidationError. ([#3443](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3443) &amp;lt;https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3443&amp;gt;__)

Improved Documentation



Use autodoc and update ABI functions with docstrings and doctests. ([#3408](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3408) &lt;https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3408&gt;__)

Features

* Utilities to extract function and event ``ABI`` attributes from a contract. Utilities in the ``web3.utils.abi`` module parse ABI elements and check encodability of provided arguments. ABI functions in ``eth-utils`` are exposed by the ``web3.utils.abi`` module.
&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
