How to *really* install Steem-Python ( Ubuntu 17.10 )
Since you can not easily install Steem-Python on a stock Ubuntu 16.40 anymore, I switched to Ubuntu 17.10, which comes with the required Python 3.6 or higher.
The installation was not as smooth as I had wished for.
This is what it says in the repository:
Installation
You can install steem-python with pip:
pip install -U steem
Source: https://github.com/steemit/steem-python
On a fresh Ubuntu 17.10 this will not work at all.
Anyways, you want to actually do this:
pip3 install -U steem
But for that to work, you need the following:
sudo apt install python3-pip
pip3 install setuptools
pip3 install scrypt
pip3 install wheel
pip3 install pytest
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
Now you can install Steem-Python:
pip3 install steem
I hope I could save someone some time, because figuring this out took me longer than I would like to admit.
Yes, indeed I have earned time.
Thank you.
What is the use of it as I am still not clear what is Steem Python if there is any post you made earlier on this topic please share that to me so I will be more clear, by the way your efforts and support is making Steemit Community great.
Thanks
Steem-Python is the official Python library for STEEM.
Python is a programming language.
With Steem-Python installed you can write Python scripts for STEEM and run them.
Steem-Python also comes with a wallet, which allows you to make 'manual' custom transactions on the blockchain.
Thanks Sir for kind attention of my comment and a big thank you for your time, to give me such a great information.
Thanks again.
glad that you are back :)
I've been here the whole time :)

Great guide really helpful.
@felixxx thanks for all of this. When do you think the next part of your series will be out? I know you said winfrey would need some tweaks to go from piston to steem.py could you elaborate please? This is extremely intriguing. I also cast my vote for you as a witness. You do quite a bit and I hope to see you climb up the ranks. If you make a banner or something ill throw it into my python posts once I get my pi3 in and get rolling.

This is the latest post of the series.
If you finish both tutorials, you will be able to create your own bots.
winfrey is shit.
I'm going over the tutorials several times and I've got a beginner's guide to python as well. Hopefully soon I'll have something put together on my little pi. Exciting stuff!
