[pysteem/piston] Support for GOLOS has been added

With the release of piston 0.4.3a0 and python-steem 0.4.3, the library and command line application now support the interaction with the GOLOS network.

Changes

The changes required can be summarized to:

• Added GOLOS' chain-id to allow proper signing of transactions
• Modify some of the Operations to also distinguish network prefixes
• Add a way to distinguish keys in different networks
• Some minor differences in the API

How to use piston

You can install piston using pip3 (the package manager for python3):

pip3 install --user --upgrade steem-piston==0.4.3a0

This will install piston 0.4.3a0 and pysteem 0.4.3.
After that, you need to set the default node to an API that works on GOLOS:

piston set node wss://ws.golos.io

Now, piston (and pysteem) are setup to connect to GOLOS, you can check by running

piston balance golos

To add your own account, you can either use

piston addkey  (and provide a raw wif key), or
piston importaccount <accountname>   (and provide the password to your account - owner key won't be stored by default)

More information about available calles be be found via

piston --help

or on the official piston.rocks webpage.

How to use pysteem

If you want to use the library with GOLOS (instead of STEEM) you can either change the default node via piston set node x (as described above) or do so programatically:

from steem import Steem
golos = Steem('wss://ws.golos.io')

More documentation about how to use the library can be found on it's own documentation webpage.

Now, have fun!
