Python Automation and Scripting

What you’ll learn

This section teaches Python as a tool:

• automate files and folders
• generate reports from spreadsheets and PDFs
• scrape and automate websites
• send notifications (email, bots, webhooks)
• control your desktop (carefully)
• schedule automations and deploy them

Who this is for

You’ll enjoy this module if you already know:

• basic Python syntax
• loops, functions
• reading/writing files

Safety first

Automation can be dangerous.

Before running scripts that delete/move files or click UI buttons:

• test on a dummy folder
• use dry runs (print actions first)
• keep backups
