Move ExactLengthBytesEncoder to eth-abi

[kclowes]

• Version: 5.x

What was wrong?

In order to support ABI encoding of bytes types of a specific length, a new encoder class had to be added. This class really belongs in the eth-abi library but was placed in web3 for the time being so that new eth-abi releases aren't needed for small changes. Once some time has passed, and we haven't seen issues raised with the API, it can be moved over.

How can it be fixed?

We should be able to pretty much copy/paste the whole class over to eth-abi. We will also need a new exact bytes length specific decoder, like was added in PR #1419.

Is this issue still open? ..I would like to work on this.

it would be my first contribution, is it still open ?

It is still open, but it's not really a good first issue as it involves coordinating updates and releases between 2 different libraries. I've removed the tag from from this.

That said, f you are still interested in taking it up, yes! PRs always welcome. There should be enough info to go off of here to get started.

okay went through the code but it is still a bit confusing, could anyone explain how could it be done?
