I worked on the scrypt wheels for windows (post). Due to my work, it is now easily possible to use beempy on windows. The setup can also be used to start small python scripts. It will not mess up with windows, as no PATH is set. Everything can easily removed.
Install python 3.7
First we will download python from https://www.python.org/downloads/
Then we Customize the Installation:
We only need pip:
Then we change the path, to find the python.exe easier:
Then we start the powershell and update pip and install virtualenv:
C:\Python37-32\python.exe -m pip install pip --upgrade
C:\Python37-32\python.exe -m pip install virtualenv
Creating a working environment
At first we create a new directory in the explorer at c:\beem
We will create a working environment:
cd beem
C:\Python37-32\python.exe -m virtualenv env
and activate it by
.\env\Scripts\activate
Install beem
We are now able to install beem:
pip install beem
Additionally, we install cryptography to speed up signing:
pip install cryptography
We are now able to use beempy:
beempy --version
Create a shortcut
Do a rightclick on activate.ps1 in C:\beem\env\Scripts and select Create shortcut.
Rightclick on the shortcut and then click on properties.
Change the target to:
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -NoExit "C:\beem\env\Scripts\activate.ps1"
You can now move it to your desktop and have a fast access to beempy.
Uninstall
Just delete C:\beem\env. Python itself can be uninstalled and C:\Python37-32 deleted. This should clean everything.
Using the 64 bit version of python
Everything is also working with the 64 bit version. Just replace C:\Python37-32 with C:\Python37.
omg man, thank you so much for this little guide, will try this soon

This post has been included in the latest edition of SoS Daily News - a digest of all you need to know about the State of Steem.
That was easy. Thanks again! This means i have a python engine running and the famous beem library at my disposal!?
Now i really don't want to bother you but i dream of running and playing around with one of your github projects based on beem, e.g. your steem monster match statistics.
I am a programmer with zero knowledge of python. Will start exploring how to compile/interpret the .py files i guess. I think in name of all interested people, it would be nice to see just a few more possibilities. Doing beempy --version and getting an answer already gave a good kick compared to 30 years ago seeing the first "Hello World" but now that i am aroused, i want to know a bit more.
I'm planing to write a second post in which I explain how to setup Visual Studio Code and how to debug a python script.
