steem-python is broken, too.
Is it still maintained?

Change

nodes = get_config_node_list() or ['https://steemd.steemit.com']

to

nodes = get_config_node_list() or ['https://api.steemit.com']

in https://github.com/steemit/steem-python/blob/master/steem/steemd.py

Because for Commit(s) with s = Steem(nodes=nodes) it still wanted to access steemd and not nodes=['https://api.steemit.com'] as I choose always the fastest/closest RPC node in all my scripts

I almost always specify nodes.

It's maintained, but very slowly. It has another issue on install that requires modifying manifest files to get it to install.

But this morning, even with specified nodes, it tried to access steemd.steemit.com.
Strange, but I didn't investigate further, as this fixed my issues.

Thanks for the answer!

from steem import Steem

steem_nodes = ['https://rpc.buildteam.io', 
               'https://api.steemit.com', 
               'https://steemd.minnowsupportproject.org']

steem = Steem(nodes=steem_nodes)

Is how I do it in all my scripts. All worked gracefully during cut over.

for me https://steemd.pevo.science is usually the fastest and on first position

Looks like there is a pull request for it already.

Thank you for posting there really very useful and I get knowledge from your post @themarkymark

Is there any plan for that node to come back up? I am guessing not as you said decommissioned. How has your node working? rpc.buildteam.io? No similar issues?

It was switched to the new api.steemit.com URL (which is running Jussi on top of the node).
Jussi is basically a caching laying for a full node.

Really appreciated post. Thanks for sharing knowledge with us. I'm following your for further post.

Upvoted and resteemed great post bro please follow my count @themarkymark

This site seems to have so many bots tools and services I'm having a hard time keeping up with all of them. 😱
