[Feature Request] Is it possible to fetch contract’s previously triggered events?

[avatar-lavventura]

Overview

• What you are trying to do:
  I am trying to fetch the previously deployed transactions' events.

• Why Brownie's current functionality is inadequate to address your goal
  Brownie is able to fetch the event data from the transaction object not from previously deployed transactions.

---

Here, we can fetch only the latest deployed transaction event data, if we have the tx object.

>>> tx
<Transaction object '0xa7616a96ef571f1791586f570017b37f4db9decb1a5f7888299a035653e8b44b'>
>>> tx.events[1].name

Can we also fetch the related contract function’s previously triggered events.

We can do it using web3.py, as follows:

contract = w3.eth.contract(contract_address, abi=abi)
block_read_from = 1000
event_filter = contract.events.MyEvent.createFilter(
    fromBlock=int(block_read_from), toBlock=int(block_read_from) + 1
)
events = event_filter.get_all_entries()

Would it be possible to integrate this approach into eth-brownie? or have a wrapper function for this?

Yes, this would be very useful
