>>> steamcmd = pysteamcmd.Steamcmd(steamcmd_path)
>>> steamcmd.install()
True
>>> steamcmd.install_gamefiles(gameid=232330, game_install_dir=gameserver_path, user='anonymous', password=None, validate=True)

You can upload items to the steam workshop:

import pysteamcmd
import os

steamcmd_path = os.path.join('/','home','f0rkz','steamcmd')
steamcmd = pysteamcmd.Steamcmd(steamcmd_path)
steamcmd.install()
steamcmd.upload_workshopfiles(user='foo', password='bar', workshop_vdf_path='/home/f0rkz/workshop/project/myvdf.vdf')

This project is useful for designing gameserver control panels or the like. It is still under development and will be updated as time goes by and new features are requested/supported.
