Work-arounds for steem-python problems in version 1.0.1

I updated my steem-python library to version 1.0.1 yesterday, and noticed that a couple things stopped working when I did.

Issue #1:

The first thing was that a number of transactions, including upvotes and claiming rewards, started failing with an error message about a missing "mode" positional parameter for new() in bip38.py. A work-around that I found for that was to change this:

 aes = AES.new(derived_half2)

to this:

aes = AES.new(derived_half2,AES.MODE_ECB)

in the file: ~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/steembase/bip38.py

This is apparently fixed already in version 1.0.2, but that's not available through "pip install" yet.

Issue #2:

The second issue is that "steemtail" was failing with this message:

ValueError: nodes arg must be a comma separated string of node url's, a single string url, or a list of strings.

I worked around this by changing:

        if self._isString(nodes):
            nodes = nodes.split(',')
        elif isinstance(nodes, list):
            if not all(self._isString(node) for node in nodes):
                raise ValueError("All nodes in list must be a string.")
        else:
            raise ValueError("nodes arg must be a "
                                 "comma separated string of node url's, "
                                 "a single string url, "
                                 "or a list of strings.")

to this:

       if self._isString(nodes):
            nodes = nodes.split(',')
        elif isinstance(nodes, list):
            if not all(self._isString(node) for node in nodes):
                raise ValueError("All nodes in list must be a string.")
        else:
            if ( sys.argv[0].split("/")[-1] != "steemtail" ):
                raise ValueError("nodes arg must be a "
                                 "comma separated string of node url's, "
                                 "a single string url, "
                                 "or a list of strings.")

In the file: ~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/steembase/http_client.py

This line is the only difference:

            if ( sys.argv[0].split("/")[-1] != "steemtail" ):

This does not seem to be fixed in version 1.0.2.

Not sure how to get the central repositories updated, but maybe this information will be helpful for some folks...
