How can I automate tasks using Python scripts?

How can I automate tasks using Python scripts?

You can automate tasks by writing Python scripts that use libraries like os, shutil, or schedule.

Can you give me an example of a simple script?

Sure! Here's a simple script that renames files in a directory:

import os

directory = 'path/to/directory'
for filename in os.listdir(directory):
    if filename.endswith('.txt'):
        new_name = filename.replace('.txt', '_old.txt')
        os.rename(os.path.join(directory, filename), os.path.join(directory, new_name))

What libraries should I learn for more advanced automation?

For advanced automation, consider learning selenium for web automation, pandas for data manipulation, and requests for API interactions.

How do I schedule a Python script to run automatically?

You can use the schedule library in Python or set up a cron job on Unix-based systems to run your script at specific intervals.
