About this audiobook
python automation and automate boring stuff python.
Stop wasting hours on repetitive tasks. Python automation is the key to reclaiming your time, and Scripts That Save You Hours delivers ready-to-adapt solutions for file management, spreadsheet processing, email handling, and web scraping. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, this hands-on guide walks you through building scripts that eliminate boring work—no fluff, just results.
Inside, you'll learn to automate renaming thousands of files, generate reports from Excel data, send personalized emails in bulk, and extract information from websites—all with Python. Each script is fully explained and customizable, so you can apply them immediately to your own projects. No more manual data entry or tedious copy-pasting.
Victor Vasquez draws on years of real-world experience to teach you the exact techniques used by top developers. You'll master libraries like os, shutil, openpyxl, smtplib, and BeautifulSoup, and understand how to combine them into powerful workflows. By the end, you'll have a toolkit of scripts that save you hours every week.
This book stands out from titles like The Pragmatic Programmer: Your Journey To Mastery, 20th Anniversary Edition (2nd Edition) by David Thomas and Andrew Hunt, and Python Crash Course, 3rd Edition: A Hands-On, Project-Based Introduction to Programming by Eric Matthes, because it focuses exclusively on practical automation you can use today—no theory, just action. If you want to stop doing the boring stuff and start working smarter, this is your guide.
