RE: Steem-python Step by Step: #1 Getting started
Something is broken. When I try a simple command that used to work, e.g., "steempy listaccounts", I get a bunch of connection errors.
WARNING:urllib3.connectionpool:Retrying (Retry(total=19, connect=None, read=None, redirect=0, status=None)) after connection broken by 'NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x7fae0dbb4278>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno -5] No address associated with hostname',)': /
It spits a bunch of these out, counting from 19 down to 0, and then starts over at 19 again. Never progresses.
This used to work in the VM I had set it up in. Did they change the resources that are pointed at by default to not function, or something?
Would reinstalling a portion of what I had installed, make it work again?
Appreciate any pointers, thanks!
FYI, I found the fix. Searched for "python command line steem example no address associated with hostname" and found this: https://github.com/steemit/steem-python/issues/14
The fix is simple, just run this from a terminal prompt: "steempy set nodes https://api.steemit.com"
Now, "steempy listaccounts" works again.
Great! Thanks @libertyteeth.
