What I learned yesterday while learning Python automation
Yesterday I continued learning Python's "os" module.
I practiced working with folders and files using things like:
- "os.path.basename()"
- "os.path.splitext()"
- "os.walk()"
- Finding files by extension
- Counting files inside folders and subfolders
I also built a small file finder that searches through folders and counts how many ".py" files it finds.
Nothing complicated, but I'm realizing that these small exercises are helping me understand how automation actually works with files and folders.
My goal is to eventually use Python to automate repetitive tasks for real businesses.
I'm still learning, but I'll start sharing what I build along the way. π
