The neo-boa compiler is a tool for compiling Python files to the .avm format for usage in the Neo Virtual Machine which is used to execute contracts on the Neo Blockchain.

The compiler supports a subset of the Python language ( in the same way that a boa constrictor is a subset of the Python snake species)

• Compiles a subset of the Python language to the .avm format for use in the Neo Virtual Machine
• Works for Python 3.4 and 3.5

• Compile a larger subset of the Python language
• Support Python 3.6

• Open a new issue if you encounter a problem.
• Or ping @localhuman on the NEO Slack.
• Pull requests welcome. New features, writing tests and documentation are all needed.

pip install neo-boa

Clone the repository and navigate into the project directory. Make a Python 3 virtual environment and activate it via:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

or, to install Python 3.5 specifically:

virtualenv -p /usr/local/bin/python3.5 venv
source venv/bin/activate

Then, install the requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

The compiler may be used like in the following example:

from boa.compiler import Compiler

Compiler.load_and_save('path/to/your/file.py')

You can read the docs here.

Tests are important.
