RE: Get Python Steem Library and Steempy Working on Linux

in #steemdev • 7 years ago

Thanks for this @throwawayaccount. My python was installed correctly yet following your example, of adding the nodes link, made things work on my end at last.

Is @amosbastian's screen shot, in the Step 3 - Installing steem-python area, using a local copy of the blockchain?

Still looking for an unbroken link to download the steem blockchain.

    "Is @amosbastian's screen shot, in the Step 3 - Installing steem-python area, using a local copy of the blockchain?"
    I don't think so. I think he actually is using the same API endpoint, but it is being set globally via some env variable I might imagine which gets set by running the following with the steempy CLI tool:

    venv) $ steempy set nodes https://api.steemit.com

    I'm also still trying to figure out where to find a bootstrapped version of the blockchain. Have a look at the script here: https://github.com/steemit/steem-python/blob/master/docs/examples.rst mentioned at:"Syncing Blockchain to a Flat File" I'm not sure if that is the same, it seems to sync the blockchain to one big json file so I don't think that is the same, but worth checking it out.
    Thanks for your support!
