Allow on-demand builds of chialisp with recursive dependency checking.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are actively developing Chialisp programs and need build-time compilation integrated into your Python package workflow. However, proceed with caution: the package is dormant since 2024-01-04, license treatment is unclear, and Python version support is unspecified. Verify that clvm_tools_rs and runtime_builder remain compatible with your environment, and confirm the Apache 2.0 license terms meet your requirements before committing to it.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires clvm_tools_rs, which has high install friction; Python version compatibility is unspecified.
- High install friction due to compiled dependencies.
- Package is dormant—last release was 2024-01-04 with no recent commits tracked, suggesting limited active maintenance.

What it is and what it does
Chialisp Builder is a build-time tool that compiles Chialisp programs into CLVMhex artifacts. It works alongside runtime_builder to handle Chialisp-specific compilation during package build or development, generating the .hex files that should be bundled with your wheel. The package is designed to be a build-time and development-time dependency only—not a runtime dependency—because the compiled artifacts are meant to be pre-built and shipped with your package.
The package depends on clvm_tools_rs and runtime_builder. It is intended as a specialized implementation of Chialisp builds on top of runtime_builder's general non-Python artifact framework. The package has been dormant since its latest release on 2024-01-04, with no recent maintenance signals, which may affect its compatibility with current tooling.
Use it for
- Build Chialisp smart contracts into hex artifacts during package creation for Chia blockchain projects.
- Manage recursive dependency checking for Chialisp programs at build time without shipping source code.
- Integrate Chialisp compilation into CI/CD pipelines as a build-time step for Python packages.
- Develop Chialisp-based applications where hex files must be pre-compiled and bundled with wheels.
