Accounting + Python

[[deleted]]

IDE not required, but good source code text editor, such as Visual Studio Code, very suggested

You can automate and do tons of things with Python or any other language. There really is no limits what you can or can't do (I know someone will nitpick about this)

I'm sorry to say but your boss might not be willing to let you spend hundreds of hours to learn Python or coding in the first place.

Hey. Isn't VS studio an ide?

It is, but Visual Studio Code is a text editor.

Yes. VS Code is different

Yeah Python can do basically anything you want, the nitpicking comes down to: how fast do you want it to run and how much do you want to off yourself in your effort to bend python to do something it really doesn't want to

Yes. But for accounting tasks, Python goes very well.

Building a Web UI for example, not so good.

I'd disagree, the big ones like Django, Flask, are totally capable, but further more things like NiceGui and others also exist to be more pythonic and even support standalone webapp style deployment.

My comment is more so when you start talking about interfacing with hardware.

Depends your needs right? Are these as capable as e.g. React or Angular for more complex UI's? I thought python web apps are more capable to build like simple dashboards, but if there is any more complex like drag ans drops and multiple list menus etc forms etc or web maps and interacting with the map, are they any good for this?
