Let me preface this by saying:
beem is the shit, no doubt
Thanks @holger80; it is the best Python library for HIVE (and STEEM).
That being said, this is what I get when I try getting an account's info:
code:
from beem.account import Account
account_name = 'holger80'
account = Account(account_name)
for property in account:
print(property, account[property])
result:
id 538086
name holger80

As you can see, @holger80 has (with skills I do not have) preformatted that data.
It's just that reward_hbd_balance 0.000 SBD makes no sense.
When I use dhive instead, which is much less abstracted and also uses the get_accounts HIVE API call, it returns this set:
code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@hiveio/dhive@latest/dist/dhive.js"></script>
<script>
let myAccount = 'holger80';
let client = new dhive.Client(["https://anyx.io"]);
client.database.getAccounts([myAccount]).then(function(result) {
result.forEach(account => {
console.log(account)
})
})
</script>
</html>
result:
active: {account_auths: Array(0), key_auths: Array(1), weight_threshold: 1}

[[Prototype]]: Object
reward_hbd_balance: "0.000 HBD" <- seems right.
I presume, this is just the raw data which the underlying API call returns.
No special beem magic (which sometimes can be a blessing) and it just works and returns the real values.
I did not want to be lazy and just complain, so I tried fixing beem myself.
It should be easy to somewhere find holger's type- definitions...
...but I could simply not find it anywhere.
Again: I am not knocking beem.
It is so helpful.
But under the hood it is too complicated for me.
I can not seem to find the module, where these type formats are defined, because the whole thing is in different modules and hence all over the place.
The annoying part is: If it wasn't for holger's (over)engineering, the bug would not even exist.
The raw call would work just fine.
Holger does not reply to my dm's on Discord, which is fine.
I am grateful enough that he made beem in the first place.
I only have to string-manipulate the data and replace 'SBD' with 'HBD' and it works again.
...I just run into these problems all the time...
hive-python
I could use hive-python by @pharesim, instead:
https://gitlab.syncad.com/hive/hive-python
Looks ok, so I click on the documentation, which redirects me here:
https://hive.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
That is not even the right documentation, ffs.
The first click I make redirects me to the wrong documentation!
I told pharesim about this months ago.
It is still not fixed.
I am not touching hive-python, as it is not being maintained at all and was never finished in the first place.
I don't know who will read this post and I don't know what to do next.
For me, the best solution would be a low level python library without all the beem magic.
beem lite?
All the bugs I have run into in the last years taught me so much, that I would for any real project try to write my own purpose-build Python library.
At this point, it is easier to construct the calls myself and deal with the raw data, rather than fixing beem, or hive-python.
Maybe, I should restart my witness and make that my thing: building beem-lite, a library that just works; If I wrote a proposal, it would never go through. Sad.
Again: holger's beem is the best library and I learned so much from analyzing and trying to bugfix it- but it reached a point where it is too complicated for a noob like myself.
I doubt that someone, who hasn't looked into it as much as me or is not a programming wizzard like holger, can even use the advantages of beem.
Not sure what to do, just wanted to express my troubles on-chain.
