Imports:

Code:
import re
from urllib import parse, request, error

Function:

Code:
def reddit_info(user):
    try:
        aurl = "http://www.reddit.com/user/" + user
        data = str(request.urlopen(aurl).read(), encoding="utf-8")
        trophies_matches = re.findall("trophy-name", data)
        trophies = []
        num = len(trophies_matches)
        if num == 0:
            trophies.append("None")
        else:
            for i in range(1, num + 1):
                trophies.append(data.split("trophy-name\">")[i].split("<")[0])
        output = "Submit Karma:\t" + data.split("<span class=\"karma\">")[1].split("<")[0] + "\r\n"
        output += "Comment Karma:\t" + data.split("<span class=\"karma comment-karma\">")[1].split("<")[0] +"\r\n"
        output += "Trophies:\r\n"
        for t in trophies:
            output += " - " + t + "\r\n"
        return output
    except Exception as e:
        return str(e)

Excuse my mixing of string manipulation and regular expression use (regarding the re.findall usage), I had originally started writing this with Regex but realized it wouldn't work, so I changed it.

Example Usage:

Code:
print(reddit_info("_vargas_"))

Example Output:

Code:
Submit Karma:	34,160
Comment Karma:	1,683,990
