Hi I am still having trouble with this, I have followed both ways of installing (using the git clone and the npm install) and my terminal is still unable to find the module, even when I cd py-solc-x and use the pytest command it says command not found pytest

Having this same issue. Did you find any resolution?

I am having the same issue at the moment, i won't hesitate to share if i find a worthy solution

Could you please look to where it installed via executing pip3 show py-solc-x and pip3 show solc commands? In my case I was using Python 3.10 but package has been installed under Python 3.8 which I had to change interpreter to Python 3.8 in Visual Studio Code to get things done.

In case people are still having issues notice that this build, and a lot of stuff liks this has issues on the new M1 mac chips. I don't fully get why but it's not testable yet (for some reason). I am running the youtube fcc tutorial and it took me a long time to get it to work. I can ONLY get the current versions of solidity (0.8.12) to compile. I couldn't get older versions to fully compile in any way.
