SHARE YOUR CODE: Using SteemTools to get accounts info

I came across @furion's post today and I immediately started trying to build stuff with it. I am a python noob and I enjoy creating short scripts that make your life simple.

Here is a program that allows you to search any account and get their basic info:

• Steem Power
• Account's Reputation
• Voting Power
• Average Payout per post

Any programmer can build such a script just by taking a quick glance at @furion's post, but here is the step by step guide for hobbyists like me:

1.- Open the Terminal in linux, if you don´t have linux you can get a cheap vps with Ubuntu on Vultr (that is my ref link, you can get $20 bonus with it).

2.- Install python3 and its dependencies:

sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools
sudo easy_install3 pip

3.- Install SteemTools:

pip install steemtools

4.- I recommend you build a folder for all your future steemtools scripts:

mkdir steemtools

5.- Go to the folder you just created:

cd steemtools

6.- Create the file for the script, you can name it whatever you want as long as it has .py at the end:

sudo nano overview.py

7.- paste this code inside the program:

from steemtools.base import Account

account = Account(input("enter account: "))

sp = account.get_sp()
print ("Steem Power ", sp)

rep = account.reputation()
print ("reputation ", rep)

voting = account.voting_power()
print ("voting power", voting, "%")

payout = account.avg_payout_per_post()
print ("average payout per post", payout)

8.- Press CTRL + X to quit the editor and Y to save it.

9.- Run the program:

python3 overview.py

And there you have it, you can repeat step 9 with as many accounts as you want and check their stats.

if you want to know your stats but don't want to install the script just drop a comment below and I can give you the info on your account
