RE: Python-Steem Example: Follow Votes
I upgraded python-steem and my old bot stopped working with key errors and all sorts. Luckily I had a snapshot from weeks ago and reverted back. Think the old breed of bots will need to be rewritten :O
I'm running the latest and bot #1 above doesn't seem to work for me. No errors but it just sits there when I know it should be doing something. However, the older version I had complained about the import blockchain line. Playing around with it, it seems like it is just getting stuck at the "for operation in chain.ops():" line. I double checked my posting key and account but I'm not sure what else to try.
I'm running the winfrey bot and that seems to work ok.
There was a bug, it's fixed now.
You need to clone into the
developbranch of py-steemI should have mentioned that above ...
try initializing Steem like this
Shouldn't it be steem = Steem(wif=[posting_key[0]])
for comment in steem.stream_comments():
I will try upgrading Steem Python again but need to set some time aside. Might just stay with this old version for a while
BTW I'm a noob at Python, this is the first time I have written in it
I'm a Python noob myself.
No, the posting_key works ok like this.
It cant be
for comment in steem.stream_comments()
I'm not trying to stream comments, but votes.
For that to work, some plugins needs to be enabled on the node.
They don't work on the default node ( at the moment )
Initialize Steem() with the "node=" argument, like I replied above.
I never did get this one to work (just hangs as far as I can tell). Upgrading to the latest Steem Python also broke the previous bot I was using so...don't do that. Unless you know how to fix it. It isn't obvious to me.
