web3.py is a Python library for interacting with Ethereum.
It's commonly found in decentralized apps (dapps) to help with sending transactions, interacting with smart contracts, reading block data, and a variety of other use cases.
The original API was derived from the Web3.js Javascript API, but has since evolved toward the needs and creature comforts of Python developers.
