py-solc-x

Python wrapper around the solc Solidity compiler with 0.5.x support.

Forked from py-solc.

Dependencies

This library 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.

Versions >=0.4.11 may be installed, however only versions >=0.4.2 are supported and tested.

Quickstart

Installation

pip install py-solc-x

Installing the solc Executable

The first time py-solc-x is imported it will automatically install the latest version of solc. If you wish to install a different version you may do so from within python:

>>> from solcx import install_solc
>>> install_solc('v0.4.25')

Or via the command line:

$ python -m solcx.install v0.4.25

You can also view available versions or change the active version of solc:

>>> from solcx import get_installed_solc_versions, set_solc_version
>>> get_installed_solc_versions()
['v0.4.25', 'v0.5.3']

>>> set_solc_version('v0.4.25)

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

>>> from solcx import compile_source, compile_files, link_code
>>> compile_source("contract Foo { function Foo() {} }")
{
    'Foo': {
        'abi': [{'inputs': [], 'type': 'constructor'}],
        'code': '0x60606040525b5b600a8060126000396000f360606040526008565b00',

        'source': None,
        'meta': {
            'compilerVersion': '0.3.5-9da08ac3',
            'language': 'Solidity',
            'languageVersion': '0',
        },
    },
}
>>> compile_files(["/path/to/Foo.sol", "/path/to/Bar.sol"])
{
    'Foo': {
        'abi': [{'inputs': [], 'type': 'constructor'}],
        'code': '0x60606040525b5b600a8060126000396000f360606040526008565b00',
        'code_runtime': '0x60606040526008565b00',

            'compilerVersion': '0.3.5-9da08ac3',
            'language': 'Solidity',
            'languageVersion': '0',
        },
    },
    'Bar': {
        'abi': [{'inputs': [], 'type': 'constructor'}],
        'code': '0x60606040525b5b600a8060126000396000f360606040526008565b00',

Import Path Remappings

solc provides path aliasing allow you to have more reusable project configurations.

You can use this like:

>>> from solcx import compile_source, compile_files, link_code

>>> compile_files([source_file_path], import_remappings=["zeppeling=/my-zeppelin-checkout-folder"])

Development

This project was recently forked from py-solc and should be considered a beta. Comments, questions, criticisms and pull requests are welcomed.

Running the tests

Tests have not been updated from py-solc and will likely fail.

You can run the tests with:

py.test tests

Or you can install tox to run the full test suite.
