## Py-EVM

Py-EVM is an implementation of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) in Python.

### Goals

Py-EVM aims to be a readable yet generally performant version of the EVM in Python.

In particular Py-EVM aims to:

- be easy to understand and modifiable
- be highly flexible to support research and experimentation
- be performant enough to be used in testing for Python projects
- be a reference implementation of the Ethereum execution layer specifications

Ethereum consensus today is achieved via Proof of Stake, involving a consensus layer that
is beyond the scope of this repository.

## Installation

```sh
python -m pip install py-evm
```
