    This is the Python core library of the Ethereum project.
    .
    Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts:
    applications that run exactly as programmed, with no risk of
    downtime, censorship, fraud, or third-party interference.

PyEthereum is deprecated, to be replaced by py-evm at
https://github.com/ethereum/py-evm/ . This move comes with the
blessing of the PyEthereum dev team, which is currently porting their
ongoing work over to py-evm.

It probably makes sense to include py-evm in this onboarding process.
Depending on the length of the process to get included, it might even
make sense to skip over PyEthereum altogether.

Since py-evm seems to be an entirely different package, even if it's the
successor of pyethereum, I've created another RFP for it
