Brownie is a Python-based framework used for the development and testing of EVM smart contracts.

What is Brownie?
Brownie is a Python-based testing framework for smart contracts targeting blockchains that operate an Ethereum Virtual Machine. It allows developers to run tests before deploying contracts on EVM-compatible networks. The framework offers full support for the Solidity and Vyper programming languages and features a range of powerful debugging tools, such as tracebacks and custom error strings. Note: Brownie is no longer actively maintained. The project recommends Ape Framework as a successor for Python-based Ethereum development.
