What was wrong?

It looks like AsyncEth module is incapable of log filtration, while Eth counterpart is. Here's the code, which fails with

Async filters have not yet been implemented, so this behavior is expected for now. Here is the list of supported methods/middlewares: https://web3py.readthedocs.io/en/stable/providers.html#supported-methods. It's high on our list, but feel free to open a PR if you need it faster than we can get to it :)

hi, do you guys plan to asyncify "contracts" at any point. I'm trying to do so but having much trouble myself

[kclowes]

@ak8g18 Contracts are async-ified as of v6-beta.3. Filters have been async-ified too as of v6-beta.9.
