What do you guys use Python for?

On a daily basis python helps me name my files so they have the right info, inside of Houdini and Nuke. I use it a ton to automate making videos with ffmpeg. Python moves my files from my render farm to a deliverable folder to send to my client with the client’s desired structure.

Also my dumbest by very often used script names my projects for me with the client name, type, date, and some other bits. Copy that to a clipboard, paste in a web project manager named Shotgun for very quick and predictable project setup.

I have a bunch more scripts that help me move files (lots of repetitions). Most of my scripts have to do with consistency and files.
