### Initializing HTTP Provider and Getting Block Number (Python)

Source: https://github.com/elyase/ethers-py/blob/main/README.md

Demonstrates how to initialize an HTTP provider using ethers-py and asynchronously fetch the latest block number from the Ethereum mainnet via Infura.

```python
from ethers.providers import HTTPProvider

provider = HTTPProvider("https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/your_infura_id")
block_number = await provider.get_block_number()
# 14429070
```

### Connecting to Ethereum Node and Getting Block Number (Python)

Source: https://github.com/elyase/ethers-py/blob/main/docs/source/index.md

This snippet demonstrates how to initialize an HTTPProvider using ethers-py to connect to an Ethereum node (like Infura) and asynchronously fetch the latest block number. It requires the `ethers.providers.HTTPProvider` class.

```python
from ethers.providers import HTTPProvider

provider = HTTPProvider("https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/your_infura_id")
block_number = await provider.get_block_number()
# 14429070
```
