beem is a python library for steem. beem has now 494 unit tests and a coverage of 72 %. The current version is 0.20.16.
I created a discord channel for answering a question or discussing beem: https://discord.gg/4HM592V
The newest beem version can be installed by:

pip install -U beem

or when using conda:

conda install beem

beem can be updated by:

conda update beem

New Features

Check for ùtf-16 coding

beempy sign and beempy broadcast can now read utf-8 files which occur when using

beempy -xd -e 3600 <command> <options> > unsigned_transaction.json

on windows. It is now checked if the file contains any \0 characters. When this is the case it is loaded as utf-16 file.

        if tx.find('\0') > 0:
            with open(file, encoding='utf-16') as fp:
                tx = fp.read()

Add oufile to beempy sign

As beempy sign asks for the wallet password, a

beempy sign --file unsigned.json > signed.json

is not working properly. I added a new option --outfile which allow it to store the signed file and enter the wallet password:

beempy sign --file unsigned.json -o signed.json

Prevent that beempy sign deletes signatures

Before this commt, beempy sign was deleting already stored signatures. This prevents that more than one signing was possible.
By adding a new optionreconstruct_tx to steem.sign() which allows to set reconstruct_tx of TransactionBuilder.sign(), it is now possible to use steem.sign with stem.sign(reconstruct_tx=False) which allows to sign without deleting old signatures.

It is now possible to create a unsigned.json and let it sign by several signers.

beempy -xd -e 3600 <command> <options> > unsigned_transaction.json
beempy sign --file unsigned_transaction.json -o sign1.json
beempy sign --file sign1.json -o sign2.json

sign2.json has now the signatures from the first and the second signing.

beempy walletinfo

beempy walletinfo

works now without going offline (using -o).

Nodelist updated

Not working nodes:

• wss://rpc.curiesteem.com
• wss://anyx.io
• https://rpc.buildteam.io

were removed.

Great update as usual.

The fix for the signing lets multiple signers to sign a transaction is neat. It may have a lot of use cases.

Steemitdev account recently announced get_account_votes will be deprecated. Does that mean beem's account.get_account_votes() will​ not work anymore?
