pip bug when installing steem-python in virtualenv
Expected behavior
In a virtulenv of python 3.6, steem-python should be installed easily after running 'pip3 install steem'. Then I can use steempy CLI correctly.
Actual behavior
There is no error in the whole installation process. However, when I run steempy, an error occured.
pkg_resources.ContextualVersionConflict: (toml 0.9.3 (/store/Environment/steem_env/lib/python3.6/site-packages), Requirement.parse('toml==0.9.3.1'), {'steem'})
It seems that pip recognizes toml 0.9.3.1 as toml 0.9.3, but steem-python requires the package to be 0.9.3.1.
How to reproduce
1.create a virtualenv with
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3.6/bin/python3.6 steem_env
2.activate the virtualenv
source steem_env/bin/activate
3.install steem-python with pip
pip3 install steem
4.run steempy
steempy
5.(optional) run 'pip3 list' to see the version of toml
pip3 list
- Browser: No
- Operating system: Ubuntu 16.04

Yes, I have similar problem. There was posted solution, apparently requirements.txt file need to be edited but in my case I don't have that file in site-packages folder. (also using Linux, but I'm using Python native virtual environment)
Or I'm just to inexperienced. I guess I will just have to wait until they fix this.

thanks, I have solved it in a similar way.

Thanks. I tried that fix already and in my case it didn't help.
But I got it working with this fix, I think I have read that it is @Furion's steem-python library:
I think renaming the 0.9.3 egg file to 0.9.3.1 may work, but the inofficial library is a new solution. Thanks.
