AnchorPy is the gateway to interacting with Anchor programs in Python. It provides:

• A static client generator
• A dynamic client similar to anchor-ts
• A Pytest plugin
• A CLI with various utilities for Anchor Python development.

Read the Documentation.

pip install anchorpy[cli, pytest]

Or, if you're not using the CLI or Pytest plugin features of AnchorPy you can just run pip install anchorpy.

AnchorPy does not currently support Solana 2.0 or Anchor 0.30.0.

If you want to contribute to AnchorPy, you will require the following installed, in the following order:

• poetry

• Rust

• Solana CLI for Solana 1.18.26

• Anchor CLI for Anchor version 0.29.0

Now, follow these steps to get set up:

1. Generate a new Solana keypair for local development and configure the Solana CLI to use a localnet for testing:

solana-keygen new --outfile ~/.config/solana/id.json
solana config set --url localhost

2. Git clone the repo and initialise the submodules:

git clone https://github.com/kevinheavey/anchorpy.git
git submodule update --init

3. Install dev dependencies:

poetry install

4. Run the included tests:

poetry run pytest
