# with SteamClient dependecies
pip install -U "steam[client]"

# without (only when using parts that do no rely on gevent, and protobufs)
pip install -U steam

Installing directly from github repository:

# cutting edge from master
pip install "git+https://github.com/ValvePython/steam#egg=steam"

# specific version tag (e.g. v1.0.0)
pip install "git+https://github.com/ValvePython/steam@v1.0.0#egg=steam[client]"
# without SteamClient extras
pip install "git+https://github.com/ValvePython/steam@v1.0.0#egg=steam"

Vagrant

The repo includes a Vagrantfile to setup enviroment for expermentation and development. We assume you've already have vagrant and virtualbox set up. The VM is Ubuntu 16.04 with all necessary packages installed, and virtualenv for python2 and python3.

vagrant up    # spin the VM and let it setup
vagrant ssh
# for python2
$ source venv2/bin/activate
# for python3
$ source venv3/bin/activate

Local Testing

To run the test suite with the current python, use

make test

To run for specific version, setup a virtual environment

virtualenv -p python3 py3
source py3/bin/active
pip install -r requirements.txt
make test
