Forked from [py-solc-x](https://github.com/iamdefinitelyahuman/py-solc-x).

## Features

• Full support for Solidity >=0.4.11 and Vyper

• Install Solidity and Vyper on Linux, OSX and Windows

• Compile Solidity from source on Linux and OSX

## Dependencies

ethcx allows the use of multiple versions of solc, and can install or compile them as needed. If you wish to compile from source you must first insall the required [solc dependencies](https://solidity.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing-solidity.html#building-from-source).

For Vyper, ethcx can download and install all released versions of the vyper compiler binaries from [Github Release](https://github.com/vyperlang/vyper/releases).

## Testing

ethcx is tested on Linux, OSX and Windows with solc versions >=0.4.11.

To run the test suite:

`bash 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.
