The official Steem library for Python is steem-python. It comes with a BIP38 encrypted wallet and a practical CLI utility called steempy.

Full, runnable src of these tutorials can be downloaded as part of: tutorials/python.

The library was designed to allow Python developers to easily access the network as well as build utilities and applications.

Currently steem-python documentation is generated in the standard pydoc format.

Documentation is available at: Official steem-python Docs.

In our Python tutorials we recommend developers to be familiar with following requirements/libraries.

Python developer should be familiar with Python 3.x and above
Medium knowledge of package manager pip/pip3 and/or pipenv is required, since our tutorials will be using package manager to get started quickly.
Terminal (Linux/Mac) or Cmd (Windows command prompt) knowledge is also required, since most python tutorials will only work with terminal and print out result in different formats.
Python environment path should be set up properly so that terminal can access proper python library without conflicts.
Additional and optional packages that we might use: setuptools, brew
