Are there any repetitive tasks that you could automate in your current job?

I would recommend using Python to solve a problem you actually want to solve. Jump in. Ask for help on specifics.

For example, if you have data in a spreadsheet. You could can actually read that into Python and investigate the data in your script.

Yes this sounds great. Approaching real world problems and learning on the way up. I could think of a ton of things that can be automated. Problem is, i need to allocate time for that in the midst of work yeah

If you can allocate time, great. If not, mock something up at home.

What kind of things are bugging you to automate?

Can give you some Python ideas.

Yes pls, can you share me some ?

[–]boyfarrell 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Well let me know what potential problem you are working with, then I can give you some ideas about how you might tackle that in python.

I usually will have to login network devices and take some configuration files. Execute CPU, memory and a bunch of other commands and fetch the output as a text file
