Hi Folks,

I am an Algorand Researcher/Engineer.

I build a Python Language binding for writing Algorand Smart Contract. In principle, it should make developing and prototyping Algorand Smart Contract easier since it abstracts away the stack machine details and lets you focus on the smart contract logic.

Happy to answer any question here.
