python 3.x - SendRawTransaction return hash, but there is no transaction

Question

I want a make some transactions. Did like mentioned here

sendRawTransaction return me hash of transaction. But there is not any transaction. My pending transactions count is 0. When I call getTransaction method with that hash , the result is

{
   'blockHash': None, 
   'blockNumber': None, 
   'from': 'my address', 
   'gas': 118685, 
   'gasPrice': 1000000000, 
   'hash': HexBytes('some hash'), 
   'input': 'some long hash', 
   'nonce': 1254, 
   'r': HexBytes('...'), 
   's': HexBytes('...'), 
   'to': 'my contract address', 
   'transactionIndex': None, 
   'v': 42, 
   'value': 0
}

What can be the reason?

Answer 1

By the documentation of getTransaction, it returns a transaction only after the transaction is mined. You can wait for it to be mined using the waitForTransactionReceipt method.
