Support for Ogmios 6.x in the ChainContext
nielstron opened this issue · 3 comments
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently pycardano only supports Ogmios < 6.0.0 for the ChainContext but the API has changed since.
Describe the solution you'd like
There is an implementation of the OgmiosChainContext built by Viper Science here that could be used instead. I would suggest we inherit the code entirely and simply make ogmios package independent of pycardano and import it instead. We can then dynamically switch to their implementation if we find that the Ogmios client indicated is version >= 6.x
Describe alternatives you've considered
The user can be tasked directly to indicate the ogmios api version. Also, we could keep the ogmios and pycardano package seperate entirely.
Additional context
None
hi @nielstron do you know when Ogmios 6 compatibility might be available at all?
No this is currently not planned with high urgency because the implementation by Viper-Science is now pretty usable (after some fixes). I would recommend to use it.
Great stuff, will take a look, thanks @nielstron
