Ethereum's next network upgrade, Pectra, is coming to mainnet on May 7th, at epoch 364032 ๐
Pectra introduces EIP-7702, several improvements to validator UX, a doubling of the blob count (.oO!) and many other features! More on this below ๐

but you can weigh in on the API within web3py here: github.com/ethereum/web3.py/โฆ

in addition to performance improvements and bug fixes, two new features of note:
1๏ธโฃ a shiny new subscription manager
2๏ธโฃ a contract event `topic` property to make log filtering easier
