Missing File Index Calculation in Python SDK file_delete Function

[d4v1d03]

The file_delete function in akavesdk-py/sdk/sdk_ipc.py currently has a hardcoded placeholder value for the file_index parameter instead of properly calculating it from the smart contract.
The Python SDK is missing the proper implementation to retrieve the file index using the get_file_index_by_id contract method, which is required for the deleteFile smart contract function to work correctly.
Current Impact

• File deletion fails with contract errors because the hardcoded index 2 is likely incorrect for most files

• The function doesn't follow the same pattern as the working Go SDK implementation

• Contract calls may revert due to invalid index parameter

Hi @d4v1d03 I' have experience with Python, and I want to contribute to this issue.

Steps I will follow,

• Analyze Go SDK to understand how getFileIndexById is used
• Implement in Python: write get_file_index_by_id, integrate it into file_delete, handle exceptions and validation
• Test thoroughly: both normal and error scenarios to ensure reliability

@d4v1d03 can I work on this?

Sure you can @Smartdevs17, just test thoroughly your solution when you come across one.
