Lesson 4 : Error deploy.pi

[ForeManCrypto]

Hi,

I have an error when install_solc("0.6.0")
I would appreciate any help.

Installing...

Hello @ForeManCrypto
It seems you have a python installation as admin and is not allowing you to use the content of the python libraries due to a permission error, anyways as I said o post like this, pytnon 3.10 is a bad idea for web3 dev due to library conflicts.

Please reinstall python version 3.8 (not as admin) and run the code trough a python virtualenv.

Hint: Don't forget to select the correct python interpreter on vscode (bottom left corner).

The code is here:

from solcx import compile_standard, install_solc

with open("./SimpleStorage.sol", "r") as file:
    simple_storage_file = file.read()

# We add these two lines that we forgot from the video!
print("Installing...")
install_solc("0.6.0")


# Compile our Solidity


compiled_sol = compile_standard(
    {
        "language": "solidity",
        "sources": {"SimpleStorage.sol": {"content": simple_storage_file}},

            }
        },
    },
    solc_version="0.6.0",
)
print(compiled_sol)

Three things

1. don't forget this line "language": "solidity", Solidity should be upper case
2. Are you installing python using Windows store? if so, please use the official installer from python page.
3. Does this post help you?
