beem is a python library for accessing the steem blockchain. I build beem from scratch using python-bitshares as template. At the moment, beem is not really used, as the github has around 1 unique visitor each day and thats maybe me. The newest version of beem is 0.19.19.
I created a discord channel for answering question or discussing beem: https://discord.gg/4HM592V
beem is not a copy of python-steem, thus the classes and functions are different. beem is almost feature complete and should be able to do all things that python-steem can do. Differences to python-steem:
| beem | python-steem | |
|---|---|---|
| websocket nodes | yes | no |
| native appbase calls | yes | no |
| python 2.7 supportet | yes | yes |
| python 3.3 supportet | yes | no |
| python 3.4 supportet | yes | no |
| python 3.6 supportet | yes | yes |
| number of unit tests | 340 | 70 |
| coverage | 75 % - 83% | ? |
| can be used on android | yes | no |
I decided to create an own library for steem and not participating to python-steem by pull-requests for the following reasons:
- as python-steem is the official library, all changes have to be reviewed carfully. This takes a lot of time.
- python-steem is used by many, therefore it is not possible to change classes or functions easily.
- I like it to have my own repo, in which I can do what I want :).
beem is open source, so my work may improve python-steem.

Cool. I'm trying it out for my project
Well done Holger, I love the amount of work you are putting into this. I haven't tried it out myself yet, but I promise I will soon. Will try to make a test version for one of my bots.
I am maintaining an authority management program called keybox.py.
