Automating with Python | Creating and classifying files

Websites, Machine Learning, REST APIs... Professional Python has a lot of uses. But Python can also help us with mundane tasks, for example, automating repetitive tasks.

On the first part of the video, we are going to generate randomized students reports, containing random names, subjects, date of file creation, subjects and marks. And also how to delete only the .txt files generated to clean our folder.

On the second one, we are going to read the files, count how many failed subjects the student has, rename the file by adding it passed or failed, moving the file to a 'passed' or 'failed' folder, and then zipping both folders into .zip files

In this video you’ll learn how to:

Create files
Read files
Delete files
Rename files
Move files
Randomize the content of the files
Zipping folders
Passing down arguments to the script

and more. With just using Python, no packages nor modules needed.
