Broadcasting was done by:

beempy post beempy-post-test.md

The broadcasted test post can be found here,
The yaml header of the example:

---
title: beempy test post
tags: test, beempy
author: beembot
beneficiaries: holger80:10%
---

The following keywords can be used:

  • title
  • author
  • permlink
  • reply_identifier
  • community
  • parse_body
  • beneficiaries

Parameter set as option overwrite parameter defined in the YAML part. When e.g. --title a is set and in the file title: b is written, the resulting title is then a.

Editing of posts is possible.
Just edit the markdown file and broadcast the post again. The beneficiaries must be removed when the post should be modified.

beempy reply

Usage: beempy reply [OPTIONS] AUTHORPERM BODY

  replies to a comment

Options:
  -a, --account TEXT  Account are you posting from
  -t, --title TEXT    Title of the post
  --help              Show this message and exit.

The reply can be used to broadcast short comments.

New GetWitnesses class

from beem.witness import GetWitnesses
w_list = GetWitnesses(["gtg", "timcliff"])
print(w_list [0])
print(w_list [0])

results in

<Witness gtg>
<Witness timcliff>

The class can be used to fastly fetch a list of witnesses at once.

RC costs adapted to the changes of 0.20.6

With 0.20.6 some parameter for RC costs calculation were changed. The changes are adapted in the RC class. Most important change is that resource_execution_time is included in the RC calculation.

update_account_keys function added

from beem import Steem
from beem.account import Account
stm = Steem(keys=["5xx"]) # owner key
account = Account("name", steem_instance=stm)
account.update_account_keys("new_password")

new_password is the new master password and the posting_key, active_key, owner_key and memo_key are calculated from the master password.
This is done by:

        for role in ['owner', 'active', 'posting', 'memo']:
            pk = PasswordKey(account['name'], new_password, role=role)
            key_auths[role] = format(pk.get_public_key(), self.steem.prefix)

Thank you for your contribution. I'm glad that BEEM is under active development regarding bug-fixes and new features.

Regarding the method beneficials, you implemented in cli.py, could it be better if you extract the logics and put it somewhere not in the cli.py because it looks to me that the cli.py is the command line utility that should only handle the command line options etc - all other logics could be moved to other modules for better code resusablilty and code testing.

And also, beneificals and etc contains quite a lot of code with no comments.

How do you make sure these functions beneificals, GetWitnessesare not broken? e.g. I haven't seen unit tests covering these two newly-added methods.
