Python wrapper around the `solc` Solidity compiler.


# Dependency

This library requires the `solc` executable to be present.

Only versions `>=0.4.2` are supported and tested though this library may work
with other versions.

[solc installation instructions](http://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing-solidity.html)


# Quickstart

Installation

```sh
pip install py-solc
```

Or to install with support for gevent

```sh
pip install py-solc[gevent]
```

To enable gevent subprocessing set the environment variable `SOLC_THREADING_BACKEND=gevent`



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

## Setting the path to the `solc` binary

You can use the environment variable `SOLC_BINARY` to set the path to your solc binary.

## Import path remappings

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

You can use this like:

```
from solc import compile_source, compile_files, link_code

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