Develops Algorand smart contracts in Python using PuyaPy — covers syntax, decorators, storage, transactions, types, testing with pytest, deployment, AlgoKit Utils, ARC-4/ARC-56 standards, and error troubleshooting. Use when writing algopy contracts, using @arc4.abimethod decorators, working with GlobalState or BoxMap in Python, testing with AlgorandClient, deploying or calling contracts from Python, or diagnosing PuyaPy compiler and transaction errors.
Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.
Write, test, deploy, and troubleshoot Algorand Python smart contracts.

Use when writing algopy contracts, using @arc4.abimethod decorators, working with GlobalState or BoxMap in Python, testing with AlgorandClient, deploying or calling contracts from Python, or diagnosing PuyaPy compiler and transaction errors. --- # Algorand Python Write, test, deploy, and troubleshoot Algorand Python smart contracts. ## Quick Start ```bash # Create Python project algokit init -n my-project -t python --answer preset_name production --defaults # Development cycle cd my-project algokit project run build # Compile contracts with PuyaPy algokit project run test # Run pytest tests algokit localnet start # Start local network algokit project deploy localnet # Deploy ``` ## Critical Rules - **Understand AVM constraints first** — see `algorand-core` skill for the foundational mental model - **NEVER use PyTEAL or Beaker** — use Algorand Python (PuyaPy) with `algopy` imports - **Use `@arc4.abimethod`** for public ABI methods, `@arc4.baremethod` for bare calls - **Always search docs first** — use Kapa MCP or web search before writing contract code - **Always include tests** — use pytest with AlgoKit Utils - **Fund app account before box operations** — box storage requires MBR funding - **Always `.copy()` mutable values** — call `.copy()` when appending to or storing mutable types: ARC-4 (`arc4.Struct`, `arc4.DynamicArray`) and native (`algopy.Array`, `algopy.FixedArray`, `algopy.Struct`) ## Reference Guide Read the specific reference file for your task. Each file is self-contained. ### Contract Syntax - [syntax-types.md](./references/syntax-types.md) — AVM types (`arc4.UInt64`, `arc4.String`, `Bytes`, `UInt64`), ARC-4 encoding, native vs ARC-4 conversions - [syntax-storage.md](./references/syntax-storage.md) — `GlobalState`, `LocalState`, `Box`, `BoxMap`, `BoxRef`, MBR funding patterns - [syntax-methods.md](./references/syntax-methods.md) — `@arc4.abimethod`, `@arc4.baremethod`, `@subroutine`, lifecycle methods, visibility, `ARC4Contract` vs `Contract` - [syntax-transactions.md](./references/syntax-transactions.md) — Inner transactions (`itxn`), group transactions, fee pooling ### Testing - [testing.md](./references/testing.md) — Pytest patterns, `AlgorandClient` setup, typed client testing, box funding, multi-user tests ### Deployment and Client Interaction - [deploy-interaction.md](./references/deploy-interaction.md) — CLI commands, typed client factory, method calls, state reading, `AlgorandClient` API, accounts, transactions, groups, amount helpers ### Troubleshooting - [errors.md](./references/errors.md) — Contract errors (assert, opcode budget, box MBR, inner txn) + transaction errors (overspend, asset not opted in, account not found) ## Canonical Example Repos Search these repositories for real-world code examples: - **`algorandfoundation/devportal-code-examples`** — Primary examples in `projects/python-examples/smart_contracts/` (HelloWorld, BoxStorage, etc.) - **`algorandfoundation/puya`** — Compiler examples in `examples/` (hello_world_arc4, voting, amm) - **`algorandfoundation/algokit-python-template`** — AlgoKit project template - **`algorandfoundation/algokit-utils-py`** — AlgoKit Utils Python SDK ## Cross-References - **New to Algorand?** Read `algorand-core` skill first for AVM mental model - **Project scaffolding and CLI**: See `algorand-project-setup` skill - **React frontends**: See `algorand-frontend` skill
