After some consideration I am fairly certain there is no need to take
wallet.lock in `is_up_to_date()`. Any caller that might want some kind
of guarantees re the value returned by is_up_to_date() would need to
enforce them itself by e.g. taking wallet.lock around its critical code
block. That is, even if is_up_to_date() itself takes the lock, between
the call returning and the caller reading the value there could still
have been a race.
Also, the GUI was directly accessing the field already.
Previously, during early-startup (until configure_logging(config) is
called in run_electrum),
- the stderr log handler lost all log messages below warning level, and
- the file log handler lost all log messages regardless of log level
We now instead start buffering log messages in memory as soon as
electrum.logging is imported. The buffer is dumped into the
stderr and file log handlers when they are fully set up, and then
the buffer is discarded (and the temporary log handler is removed).
Note that messages are not logged until configure_logging() is called.
Previously WARNING/ERROR messages would get logged immediately to stderr,
but not anymore. This was changed so that the order of the log messages
can be kept intact. (if we log WARNINGs immediately, but need to delay
INFOs until the config is available, messages would either be out of order
or alternatively there would be duplicates)
Relatedly, we now follow the recommendation of the python docs re
logging for libraries [0]: we try to only configure logging if running via
run_electrum (the main script) and not when e.g. a 3rd party script
imports electrum.

The few other cases that used SimpleConfig.get_instance() now
either get passed a config instance, or they try to get a reference
to something else that has a reference to a config.

old style "-v" still works
filtering examples:
-v=debug,network=error,interface=error // effectively blacklists network and interface
-v=warning,network=debug,interface=debug // effectively whitelists network and interface
* Rename synchronous_get to synchronous_send
This makes it more inline with the method 'send' of which
synchronous_send is the, well, synchronous version.
* Move protocol strings from scripts to network
This is again a small step in the right direction. The network module is
going to accumulate more and more of these simple methods. Once
everything is moved into that module, that module is going to be split.
Note that I've left the scripts which use scripts/util.py alone. I
suspect the same functionality can be reached when using just
lib/network.py and that scripts/util.py is obsolete.
* Remove protocol string from verifier and websocket
Websocket still has some references, that'll take more work to remove. Once the
network module has been split this should be easy.
I took the liberty to rename a variable to better show what it is.
* Remove protocol strings from remainder
The naming scheme I'm following for the newly introduced methods in the network
module is: 'blockchain.<subject>.<action>' -> def <action>_(for|to)_<subject>
* Move explicit protocol calls closer to each other
This makes it easier to keep track of the methods which are due to be
extracted.
* Remove `send` when using `get_transaction`
This is the final step to formalize (the informal) interface of the network
module.
A chance of note is changed interface for async/sync calls. It is no longer
required to use the `synchronous_send` call. Merely NOT passing a callback
makes the call synchronous. I feel this makes the API more intuitive to work
with and easier to replace with a different network module.
* Remove send from get_merkle_for_transaction
The pattern which emerged for calling the lambda yielded an slight refactor.
I'm not happy with the name for the `__invoke` method.
* Remove explict send from websockets
* Remove explicit send from scripts
* Remove explicit send from wallet
* Remove explicit sync_send from commands, scripts
* Remove optional timeout parameter
This parameter doesn't seem to be used a lot and removing it makes the
remaining calls easier. Potentionally a contentious choice!
* Rename `broadcast` to `broadcast_transaction`
Doing so makes the method name consistent with the other ElectrumX protocol
method names.
* Remove synchronous_send
Now every method is intuitive in what it does, no special handling required.
The `broadcast_transaction` method is weird. I've opted not to change the
return type b/c I found it hard to know what the exact consequences are. But
ideally this method should just works as all the other ElectrumX related
messages. On the other hand this shows nicely how you _can_ do something
differnt quite easy.
* Rename the awkwardly name `__invoke` method
The new name reflects what it does.
* Process the result of linter feedback
I've used flake8-diff (and ignored a couple of line length warnings).
* Rename tx_response to on_tx_response
This fell through the cracks when this branch was rebased.
* subscript_to_scripthash should be get_balance
An oversight while refactoring.
* Add missing return statement
Without this statement the transaction would have been broadcasted twice.
* Pass list of tuples to send not single tuple
* Add @staticmethod decorator
* Fix argument to be an array
- a keypair is derived from the wallet password
- only the public key is retained in memory
- wallets must opened and closed explicitly with the daemon
