How to use dfx to query the balance of an account identifier

Seems like the candid file is wrong?

ValueError: Not an option type

It's not possible to read the response from the ledger archive due to a bug when… decoding the response. Minimum example: ``` from ic.client import Client from ic.agent import Agent from ic.identity import Identity from ic.common.ledger import Ledger from ic import Canister # Identity and Client are dependencies of Agent iden = Identity() # creates a random keypair client = Client() # creates a client to talk to the IC # creates an agent, combination of client and identity agent = Agent(iden, client) # creates the ledger canister with the matching interface provided ledger = Ledger(agent) ledger_archive_did = open("archive.did").read() ledger_archive = Canister(agent=agent, canister_id="qjdve-lqaaa-aaaaa-aaaeq-cai", candid=ledger_archive_did) res = ledger_archive.get_blocks({"start": 10, "length": 10}) ``` More info can be found in this thread https://forum.dfinity.org/t/how-to-use-dfx-to-query-the-balance-of-an-account-identifier/15929/5?u=cryptoschindler
