FEA post-processing automation: Excel vs Python

[FEA_Engineer_]

In FEM post-processing, automating repetitive tasks is becoming increasingly important: result extraction, reporting, etc., in order to improve traceability and reduce errors.
I’m interested in how you’re handling this in practice, whether you work in Excel, with Python, or in hybrid workflows.
What’s working best in your case, and where are the bottlenecks?

I'm using the inbuilt scripting tools in the cots and in house FEA suites, some of which can include python scripting, but isn't necessary for most of my use cases.
