# brownie run <scriptname.py>

#brownie has an accounts package
from brownie import accounts 

#put all the deployment logic in one function:
def deploy_simple_storage():
    #local ganache accounts
    account = accounts[0]; print(account)

    #use own account for testnet
    #add account to brownie: brownie accounts new <acc_name:freecodecamp-account>


def main():
    deploy_simple_storage()
