New Features

• In this update, the command line tool beempy was completed. beempy has the now same syntax and functions as steempy, the command line tool from python-steem.
• beempy is rewritten from scratch and contrary to steempy it uses the Click library.

The following new functions (not available in steempy) are added to beempy

• witnesses
• createwallet
• walletinfo
• openorders
• orderbook
• claimreward
• follower
• following
• unit tests for all cli functions

How to start using beempy and transfer 1 SBD from user_a to user_b with memo hello

First create a new wallet and set a wallet password by:

beempy createwallet

Set the default account:

beempy set default_account user_a

Then enter your active wif

beempy addkey

Creating a wallet and entering private keys has to perform only once. The data are stored in a sql database on the PC. All private keys are encrypted with the wallet password.

At first, the help of the transfer function is shown:

beempy transfer --help
Usage: beempy transfer [OPTIONS] TO AMOUNT ASSET [MEMO]

  Transfer SBD/STEEM

Options:
  -a, --account TEXT  Transfer from this account
  --help              Show this message and exit.

Now the syntax for a transfer is clear and a transfer can be performed by:

beempy transfer user_b 1 SBD hello

After entering the wallet password, 1 SBD is transfered to user_b. When user_a is not the default account, the command changes to:

beempy transfer --account user_a user_b 1 SBD hello

Complete listing of all available commands

• output of beempy --help
