Standard JSON Compilation

Use the solc.compile_standard function to make use the [standard-json] compilation feature.

Solidity Documentation for Standard JSON input and ouptup format

>>> from solc 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': {...},
}

Setting the path to the solc binary

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

Installing the solc binary

This feature is experimental and subject to breaking changes.

Any of the following versions of solc can be installed using py-solc on the listed platforms.

• v0.4.1 (linux)

• v0.4.2 (linux)

• v0.4.6 (linux)

• v0.4.7 (linux)

• v0.4.8 (linux/osx)

• v0.4.9 (linux)

• v0.4.11 (linux/osx)

• v0.4.12 (linux/osx)

• v0.4.13 (linux/osx)

• v0.4.14 (linux/osx)

• v0.4.15 (linux/osx)

• v0.4.16 (linux/osx)

• v0.4.17 (linux/osx)

Installation can be done via the command line:

$ python -m solc.install v0.4.17

Or from python using the install_solc function.

>>> from solc import install_solc
>>> install_solc('v0.4.17')

The installed binary can be found under your home directory. The v0.4.17 binary would be located at $HOME/.py-solc/solc-v0.4.17/bin/solc. Older linux installs will also require that you set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/.py-solc/solc-v0.4.17/bin

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"])
