Local Development & Testing Setup #127

Closed cyon1c closed 6 years ago

cyon1c commented 6 years ago

pip3 install steem currently hangs for a long time, but installs correctly after several minutes.

Cloning the repo locally and using it in a script takes several steps.

If no nodes are specified in the constructor of the Steem object, calls will fail as the current fallback is steemd.steemit.com, an invalid and offline endpoint.

Second, there were a significant number of dependencies I had to install - this list is not necessarily exhaustive.

pylibscrypt langdetect w3lib toolz appdirs pycrypto ecdsa funcy voluptuous

Once a valid endpoint is supplied and dependencies are resolved, the package is ready to use in other python modules.

This is resolved by changes in bugfix/pip_install.
