What is the highest solidity version I can use with Populus?

[avatar-lavventura]

• Populus Version: 2.2.0
• OS: osx

$ pip freeze | grep populus
populus==2.2.0

$ solc --version
solc, the solidity compiler commandline interface
Version: 0.4.17+commit.bdeb9e52.Darwin.appleclang

Please see: ( #422 (comment) )

Current fix for this is to use solc<0.4.18 and downgrade populus<2.2.0

---

As suggested here ( #454 (comment) ) for some specific keywords such as emit, I need to upgrade solc version to v0.4.21.

=> Overall, what is the highest solidity version I can use with Populus? Could I use Populus with solidity version v0.4.21 ?

[voith]

@avatar-lavventura populus on master supoorts solidity =<v0.4.24.
Install populus from master if you want support for latest solidity.

[avatar-lavventura]

I am already on the current version v2.2.0. I have done: pip install populus.

[voith]

@avatar-lavventura v2.2.0 doesn't have support for the latest solidity version, github master does.
To install from master do:
pip install -e git+https://github.com/voith/populus.git@new-populus-ico#egg=populus

[avatar-lavventura]

Thank, I have successfully installed populus; but I cannot run it with populus keyword like I used to.

$ pip freeze | grep populus
-e git+https://github.com/voith/populus.git@68331c3f613463a0295d32c43d04771d14bb58d6#egg=populus

[voith]

oops. I made you install from my fork.
the command should be: pip install -e git+https://github.com/ethereum/populus.git#egg=populus.

But doesn't explain the command populus not working. Can you please post the exact error that you're getting.

[avatar-lavventura]

@voith I do not get any error, just installed populus is not find so I cannot start running populus. What should I do to fix this issue?

$ pip install -e git+https://github.com/ethereum/populus.git#egg=populus --user
...
Successfully installed populus

$ populus
command not found: populus

Populus Dependencies:

1. brew install pkg-config libffi autoconf automake libtool openssl
2. pip3 install populus == 2.2.0
3. pip3 install eth-utils==0.7.4 web3==3.16.5

Use below solc version with populus 2.2.0
solc --version

What is proper way to install solc version: 0.5.2-develop.2019.1.2+commit.1df8f40c.Darwin.appleclang on mac? brew automatically installs its latest versin . @arpi9211

Please note that exact contract works on solc v0.4.18.

For the solc version 0.5.7 I am getting following error:
