Thanks for the report. Last I checked, steem-python attempts to connect to a node prior to updating config. This needs to be fixed.

I was able to change the node by setting the --expires flag to 1 but now nothing happens at all when I run any command EDIT: I found out that the dead node I set came online EDIT 2: I manually updated the config file so my current problem is fixed

I have been deleting the SQLite file to get out of the dead node scenario.

Looked into the code a little bit, looks like the connection is started before it is completely needed. In cli.py, there's a line
steem = stm.Steem(no_broadcast=args.no_broadcast, **options)before any commands run. I'm not 100% sure how the code is working but I think it could probably be moved down after it checks for the config command because the first reference to the steem variable is in the command info.nnnarvaez commentedon Nov 29, 2019
open cli.py navigate to line 776 comment the line connecting to the steem network, save.
run the command
steempy set nodes "live.node" <enter>Now the dead node has been replaced
Uncomment cly.py line 776 and save, have fun.
