Python Scripts to collect data

[zpshank]

Given the kind of data needed to collect from issue #3, python scripts will need to be created to collect that information automatically.

Acceptance Criteria:

• [x] Python scripts to collect the necessary data are added to the scripts directory of this repository.
• [ ] Python scripts have been documented explaining what kind of data they output and where that data is written to.
