compose_call only works with dest=PUB_KEY about py-substrate-interface

P.S.: Please also see paritytech/substrate#5180 perhaps you have ideas how to solve it? Thanks.

It should auto-detect the address format, but you were right, there was an issue with the auto-detection of whether the given argument is a public key, SS58 encoded AccountId or SS58 encoded AccountIndex. I assumed the SS58 encoded AccountId is always 47 chars long, but this was not the case.

Thanks for the feedback, I fixed it in polkascan/py-scale-codec@650723e so with a new pip install it should be fixed.

Regarding your comment about subkey, I also asked a question in the Riot group 'Substrate Technical', but no answers there unfortunately. We also want to implement signing, so as soon as I have a solution I'll let you know.

Oh wow, you're a star. That was VERY quick. Thanks a million!
