Lesson 4: 3:44:37 - I'm unable to compile with the request... python deploy.py in the terminal

[richwealthyandsuccessful]

I'm unable to successfully compile with the request python deploy.py in the terminal, like Patrick does in the video.

from solcx import compile_standard, install_solc

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

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)

Currently using a Google HP ChromeBook with Chrome OS, VSCode, Python 3.9.2 ('venv':venv).

Here is the error message...

What should I do next to resolve this problem?

Hello there, the compiler is complaining as you were not selected the correct language: Solidity but you actually did, so I have some recommendations for you:

1. Be sure you have saved the file before running it.
2. Have you installed py-solc-x properly?
3. please clone the repo of the course and try to run it, does it work?
4. Try yo look an indentation error, most likely on compile_standard().

Okay, I'll try these steps and let you know how I get on.

Thanks for your quick reply and advice

Fantastic, instead of saving with the keyboard shortcuts (ctrl = S), I saved the file from the navigation bar (files>save) and then I ran python deploy.py and finally it appears to be working.

Thank you Cromewar.
