    for comment in steem.stream_comments()

I'm not trying to stream comments, but votes.

For that to work, some plugins needs to be enabled on the node.
They don't work on the default node ( at the moment )
Initialize Steem() with the "node=" argument, like I replied above.

I never did get this one to work (just hangs as far as I can tell). Upgrading to the latest Steem Python also broke the previous bot I was using so...don't do that. Unless you know how to fix it. It isn't obvious to me.
