🚀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟭/𝟭𝟬𝟬: 𝗣𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Yesterday was about the "𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫" of Python. Today was about using that grammar to actually talk to the 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 and solve real-world problems. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆:  • 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄: Mastered Conditions (𝘪𝘧/𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘧/𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦) and Loops (𝘧𝘰𝘳/𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦) to handle decision-making in scripts.  • 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: A Pythonic way to create lists in a single line, 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘳, 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳, and more 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 code.  • 𝗧𝘂𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀: Learned why we use these "𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦" lists when we need data that shouldn't be changed by mistake.  • 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝘃𝘀. 𝗣𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗻: While Bash is king for simple command-line tasks, Python shines when the logic gets complex, needs better error handling, or requires heavy data manipulation. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 "𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗢𝗽𝘀" 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀:  • 𝗼𝘀 & 𝘀𝗵𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗹: The bread and butter of 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. Used these to navigate directories, move files, and interact with the underlying system.  • 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲: Essential for 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦-𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘯𝙜 𝘭𝘰𝙜𝘴 and scheduling cleanup tasks based on file age. 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 & 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: I put these modules to work by building a Log Archiver. It’s a script that identifies old logs and zips them up to save disk space, a classic DevOps scenario.  🔗 𝙂𝙞𝙩𝙃𝙪𝙗 𝙍𝙚𝙥𝙤: https://lnkd.in/gcXubqjg bongoDev #DevOps #Python #Automation #LogManagement #100DaysOfDevOps #Coding #SystemsAdministration #GitHub #Scripting

  • graphical user interface

Don't forget to try logging, subprocess, argparse, pathlib and request modules as well. You will interact with these modules more often while scripting.
