RE: Get Python Steem Library and Steempy Working on Linux
Thanks for this @throwawayaccount. My python was installed correctly yet following your example, of adding the nodes link, made things work on my end at last.
Is @amosbastian's screen shot, in the Step 3 - Installing steem-python area, using a local copy of the blockchain?
Still looking for an unbroken link to download the steem blockchain.
For those looking for the steem blockchain and have found their way here, there is a working link as of this writting, care of @gtg at:
https://gtg.steem.house/get/blockchain/
Thanks only saw this now!
"Is @amosbastian's screen shot, in the Step 3 - Installing steem-python area, using a local copy of the blockchain?"
I don't think so. I think he actually is using the same API endpoint, but it is being set globally via some env variable I might imagine which gets set by running the following with the steempy CLI tool:
I'm also still trying to figure out where to find a bootstrapped version of the blockchain. Have a look at the script here: https://github.com/steemit/steem-python/blob/master/docs/examples.rst mentioned at:"Syncing Blockchain to a Flat File" I'm not sure if that is the same, it seems to sync the blockchain to one big json file so I don't think that is the same, but worth checking it out.
Thanks for your support!
