py-solc-x
Python wrapper around the solc
Solidity compiler with 0.5.x
and 0.6.x
support.
Forked from py-solc.
Dependencies
Py-solc-x allows the use of multiple versions of solc and installs them as needed. You must have all required solc dependencies installed for it to work properly.
Supported Versions
Py-solc-x can install the following solc versions:
- Linux and Windows:
>=0.4.11
- OSX:
>=0.5.0
0.4.x
versions are available on OSX if they have been installed via brew, but cannot be installed directly by py-solc-x.
Quickstart
Installation
pip install py-solc-x
solc
Executable
Installing the The first time py-solc-x is imported it will automatically check for an installed version of solc on your system. If none is found, you must manually install via solcx.install_solc
:
>>> from solcx import install_solc
>>> install_solc('v0.4.25')
Or via the command line:
python -m solcx.install v0.4.25
By default, solc
versions are installed at ~/.solcx/
. If you wish to use a different directory you can specify it with the SOLCX_BINARY_PATH
environment variable.
solc
Version
Setting the Py-solc-x defaults to the most recent installed version set as the active one. To check or modify the active version:
>>> from solcx import get_solc_version, set_solc_version
>>> get_solc_version()
Version('0.5.7+commit.6da8b019.Linux.gpp')
>>> set_solc_version('v0.4.25')
>>>
You can also set the version based on the pragma version string. The highest compatible version will be used:
>>> from solcx import set_solc_version_pragma
>>> set_solc_version_pragma('^0.4.20 || >0.5.5 <0.7.0')
Using solc version 0.5.8
>>> set_solc_version_pragma('^0.4.20 || >0.5.5 <0.7.0', check_new=True)
Using solc version 0.5.8
Newer compatible solc version exists: 0.6.0
To view available and installed versions:
>>> from solcx import get_installed_solc_versions, get_available_solc_versions
>>> get_installed_solc_versions()
['v0.4.25', 'v0.5.3', 'v0.6.0']
>>> get_available_solc_versions()
['v0.6.0', 'v0.5.15', 'v0.5.14', 'v0.5.13', 'v0.5.12', 'v0.5.11', 'v0.5.10', 'v0.5.9', 'v0.5.8', 'v0.5.7', 'v0.5.6', 'v0.5.5', 'v0.5.4', 'v0.5.3', 'v0.5.2', 'v0.5.1', 'v0.5.0', 'v0.4.25', 'v0.4.24', 'v0.4.23', 'v0.4.22', 'v0.4.21', 'v0.4.20', 'v0.4.19', 'v0.4.18', 'v0.4.17', 'v0.4.16', 'v0.4.15', 'v0.4.14', 'v0.4.13', 'v0.4.12', 'v0.4.11']
To install the highest compatible version based on the pragma version string:
>>> from solcx import install_solc_pragma
>>> install_solc_pragma('^0.4.20 || >0.5.5 <0.7.0')
Standard JSON Compilation
Use the solcx.compile_standard
function to make use of the standard-json compilation feature.
>>> from solcx import compile_standard
>>> compile_standard({
... 'language': 'Solidity',
... 'sources': {'Foo.sol': 'content': "...."},
... })
{
'contracts': {...},
'sources': {...},
'errors': {...},
}
>>> compile_standard({
... 'language': 'Solidity',
... 'sources': {'Foo.sol': {'urls': ["/path/to/my/sources/Foo.sol"]}},
... }, allow_paths="/path/to/my/sources")
{
'contracts': {...},
'sources': {...},
'errors': {...},
}
Legacy Combined JSON compilation

>>> compile_source("contract Foo { function Foo() {} }")
{

Import Path Remappings
solc
provides path aliasing allow you to have more reusable project configurations.
You can use this like:
>>> from solcx import compile_files
>>> compile_files([source_file_path], import_remappings=["zeppeling=/my-zeppelin-checkout-folder"])

Development
This project was forked from py-solc and should be considered a beta. Comments, questions, criticisms and pull requests are welcomed.
Tests
Py-solc-x is tested on Linux and Windows with solc versions >=0.4.11
.
To run the test suite:
pytest tests/
By default, the test suite installs all available solc versions for your OS. If you only wish to test against already installed versions, include the --no-install
flag.
