Rought Python Network Sync Check

[super3]

Its some real terrible code, but figured someone might be able to use it. Useful to check how much of the total blocks are synced with your local bitcoind.

Code:

import commands
import urllib2

# get synced blocks
info = commands.getstatusoutput('bitcoind getinfo')
info = info[1][1:-1]
info = info.split(',')[4].strip()
blocks = float(info.split(':')[1].strip())

# get total blocks
url = 'https://blockexplorer.com/q/getblockcount'
data = urllib2.urlopen(url).read(200)
data = data.split("\n")
for line in data:
        totblocks = float(line)

# calculate
print(str((blocks/totblocks)*100)+"%")
