Lesson 4: Error with solcx

[anasimov]

Hi, I've just started lesson 4 and I am having an issue. Running on mac.

Code:

from solcx import compile_standard, install_solc

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

compiled_sol = compile_standard(
    {
        "language": "Solidity",
        "sources": {"SimpleStorage.sol": {"content": simple_storage_file}},
        "settings": {
            "outputSelection": {
                "*": {"*": ["abi", "metadata", "evm.bytecode", "evm.sourceMap"]}
            }
        },
    },
    solc_version="0.6.0",
)
print(compiled_sol)

And here is the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/Corey/demos/web3_py_simple_storage/deploy.py", line 6, in <module>

(What about this way?):

from solcx import compile_standard, install_solc

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

install_solc("0.6.0")
compiled_sol = compile_standard(
{
"language": "Solidity",
"sources": {"SimpleStorage.sol": {"content": simple_storage_file}},
"settings": {
"outputSelection": {
"": {"": ["abi", "metadata", "evm.bytecode", "evm.sourceMap"]}
}
},
},
solc_version="0.6.0",
)
print(compiled_sol)

That is:
before the line
"compiled_sol = compile_standard("
you add the line
"install_solc("0.6.0")"
