Playing with a smart contract

In the previous chapter, we have developed a simple smart contract using Vyper named hello.vy. Let's create a script using web3 to interact with this smart contract. If you have forgotten the content of hello.vy, here is the content of the file:

The first script is for interacting with the smart contract in the Rinkeby ...
