Python bindings for Anchor Rust code
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need to call specific Anchor Rust code from Python and the package's last release (0.2.0, 2023-12-29) is compatible with your Anchor and Solana versions. No, if you require active maintenance, bug fixes, or support for recent Anchor framework updates—the dormant status and lack of recent commits mean issues will not be addressed. Verify compatibility with your target Anchor version before committing.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python >=3.9; binary wheels available for common platforms (x86_64, ARM, etc.) but may require compilation on unsupported architectures.
- Medium install friction due to compiled binary wheels across multiple platforms.
- Package is dormant—last release was 2023-12-29 and last commit 2024-10-18, so expect no active maintenance or bug fixes.

What it is and what it does
anchorpy-core is a Python package that wraps compiled Rust code from the Anchor framework, a popular development framework for Solana smart contracts. It allows Python developers to interact with Anchor-based Rust functionality without writing Rust themselves, bridging the gap between Python and Rust ecosystems for Solana development.
The package is distributed as pre-compiled binary wheels for multiple platforms and architectures, minimizing installation complexity on supported systems. It depends only on jsonalias at runtime. However, the project is dormant—no releases since late 2023 and no recent commits—so it receives no active maintenance, bug fixes, or updates to support newer Anchor or Solana versions.
Use it for
- Calling Anchor Rust program logic from Python test suites or automation scripts
- Integrating Solana smart contract interactions into Python-based blockchain applications
- Prototyping or scripting with Anchor framework without writing Rust directly
- Building Python tooling that needs to invoke compiled Anchor functionality
