Algorand Smart Contracts in Python

PyTeal: Algorand Smart Contracts in Python

PyTeal is a Python language binding for Algorand Smart Contracts (ASC1s).

Algorand Smart Contracts are implemented using a new language that is stack-based, called Transaction Execution Approval Language (TEAL).

However, TEAL is essentially an assembly language. With PyTeal, developers can express smart contract logic purely using Python. PyTeal provides high level, functional programming style abstractions over TEAL and does type checking at construction time.
