Let us begin!!

# run python 3 in your Terminal/command prompt

# Let us calculate how many steemit witnesses exist on steemit

>>> from steem import Steem   #import the class Steem from steem library



>>> b = Steem()               #create an instance of the class Steem

>>> b.get_witness_count()     #call method get_witness_count()

14528

# We can also go ahead and find the active witnesses on steemit.

Finding the active witnesses on steemit could come handy while voting for your steemit witnesses.

To vote for your witness,

Login to steemit account and go to options(RIGHT MOST CORNER,NEXT TO YOU PROFILE PICTURE)
Select vote for Witnesses.

# Let us find the active witnesses using code

>>> from steem import Steem   #import the class Steem from steem library 

>>> b = Steem()               #create an instance of the class Steem 

>>> b.get_active_witnesses()     #call method get_witness_count()
