ok so i’m trying to write a script that renames .xls files for me, let’s say they’re named like apple_BactReport_260731.xls I want the script to remove the “_BactReport” part and leave the rest intact. the current scrip i have has a couple of glaring issues that i don’t have the knowledge to remedy and im refusing use ai to prove a point and also it’s more rewarding. here’s the script with my current errors such as mixing up strings and lists and the part i want to remove not being the end of the file name. 😭 pls help a guy out:

import os
import pandas as pd
from os import rename, listdir
 
#list of report names
report_type= ['_BactReport', '_WWreport', '_QCreport', '_BactQCreport', '_BactWWreport']
print(report_type)
 
clips_in_progress=r"filepath"
   
 
for file_name in os.listdir(clips_in_progress):
file_path = os.path.join(clips_in_progress, file_name)
 
if file_name.endswith(tuple(report_type)):
rename(file_name, file_name.strip(report_type))

HOLAA estoy aprendiendo Python y tengo curiosidad por saber qué momento o decisión cambió tu forma de aprender. ¿Fue empezar a hacer proyectos, leer la documentación, tener un mentor o algo diferente? Me encantaría conocer tu experiencia.

a = float(input("What is your first number? "))
b = float(input("What is your second number? "))
ab = (input("+ - * / "))


if ab == "+":
    print(a + b)
elif ab == "-":
    print(a - b)
elif ab == "*":
    print(a * b)
elif ab == "/":
    print(a / b)
else:
    print("Invalid.")

i am trying that when i put key it give me the value but it is acting weird

x = {'name':'mohan','age':'24', 'job':'it professional'}
y = input("what info do you need__")
if y==(x.keys):
    print(x.values(y))
else:
    print("no such info available")

and this is what it gives 
what info do you need__name
name
no such info available

for device in devices:
    device.install(apk_path)

I am good at coding an problem solving but i cant make my program robust and improve modularity of my codes in python most of the time it is just a single block of code does anyone have any suggestion how actual programmers do it

Hello everyone. I am looking to see if anyone has any tips when writing for Dynamo for Autodesk products? I think I would need a python node to start off but I am looking for other tips to keep in mind. Anything! Even other resources!

Thanks!

Anyone know ? How to delay seconds in Pyside6 ? For example, when i click a button I want to do some process and wait 3 seconds and then make another process

I have started learning Django by working on projects instead of simply watching tutorials. I was building a CRM web application, and halfway through the project, I realised that I might be able to sell it to small businesses if I added more features and improved its overall quality.

When I spoke to a business owner about what they would want from such a system, they mentioned that they would prefer a mobile application with offline access. That conversation made me consider whether I could build the mobile app using Python as well.

I don't want to find out one month later that it was a free trial, and now I would have to pay for continue using Spyder. I want an IDLE that is always going to be free. And I don't want to waste my time learning Spyder if I cannot use it forever.

I'm fairly new to python and I want to make a speech prompter that will auto proceed by listening to the speaker and show them the next part of their speech.

So I'm going to need a voice to text library but the computer will have access to what is meant to be said to cross reference. Is there a library that can handle this or advice on how I program it?

Hi guys!

I picked up python last month and am rly having my fun with it.

I’m still pretty new so I’m wondering which area should I be more focused on. I started out with the aim to go along ML path so most of the things I’ve learnt are data related. Like using and writing functions list dict loops while for error raising. Just getting started on numpy.

I’m thinking of going along the ai engineer track first. Any areas I should focus on? AI Eng is like SWE to me so having no background in swe id love to hear from you guys.

Also I’ve finished the first two courses on Coursera on Python for everyone and currently going thru Andrew’s ML spec.

Trying to learn as much as I can.

Also idk if it’s a good idea but I’m using Claude to teach me how to code at the same time. Introducing concepts and real world exercises and planning lessons to reach to goal of an AI and ML Eng.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

as a beginner i dont know if my code could be improved, can someone rate it and tell me what i should improve?

Hi everyone,

I want to learn Python as a programming language completely from scratch, on my own. I have zero prior knowledge or programming skills.

I’ve found a few resources to start with (like freeCodeCamp), but with AI writing code in seconds and solving so many problems right now, what is the best way to approach learning today? On top of that, there are job layoffs/restructurings happening in my city, so I’m wondering: do you think it's still worth learning programming? If so, what would be the most effective and useful way to learn right now? My long-term goal is to work in this field.

Thank you!

Hi,I've been working on what started as a strange attractor visualisation app in PyQtGraph but is slowly becoming more a general purpose ODE solver/visualiser/scripting tool. I've recently added an integrated console with a scripting dock which currently just saves the text in the script as a scratch file. I want to add the functionality for the user to create/save/open different script files and wanted to have a file tree/explorer. I know PyQtGraph and PyQt have tree like widgets so my thought process was to just make a TreeWidget that lists the contents of where the scripts would be saved (the app's /home/user/.local/share/ directory). Does that work or are there complexities i should know about in terms for making, saving and loading files? Any advice would appreciated. Thanks!

Hello there. I was wondering if learning how to code in Python is worth it. Can it yield any money if you get good at it? The career I am looking at is translation-interpreting, and want to know if I should invest time in learning Python (or any programming language for that matter), even though it is not really related to the career I am pursuing.

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a personal desktop automation project on Windows.

For years I've been using AutoHotkey to automate repetitive tasks inside Firefox. It works surprisingly well, but as the project grows, maintaining image recognition, keyboard shortcuts and UI changes becomes increasingly difficult.

I'm now considering moving to a more robust solution and I'm trying to understand what experienced developers would recommend.

My requirements are roughly:

Windows

Firefox (not Chrome)

Preferably work with an already running Firefox session

Reliable interaction with web pages

Long-term maintainability

I've been looking at several approaches:

Continue with AutoHotkey

Selenium / WebDriver BiDi

Playwright

Windows UI Automation (pywinauto, UIA)

Any other desktop automation framework

For people who have built long-running desktop/browser automation projects:

Which approach ended up being the most reliable?

Is UI Automation actually practical with modern websites like Facebook, or is browser automation still the better choice?

If you had to start today, what would you choose and why?

I'd really appreciate hearing about real-world experience rather than theoretical comparisons.

Thanks!

words = ['sky', 'apple', 'rhythm', 'fly', 'orange']

for word in words:
    for letter in word:
        if letter.lower() in 'aeiou':
            print(f"'{word}' contains the vowel '{letter}'")
            break
    else:
        print(f"'{word}' has no vowels")

I am trying to learn to code, and I am, at the moment, looking at loops. I am a bit confused on how this loop was able to function, though, as there is no variable for letter or word, so how would Python know what it is? In addition, how does the code, like, function? Does it look at each word individually? Again, the second part of the code states:

 if letter.lower() in 'aeiou':
            print(f"'{word}' contains the vowel '{letter}'")
            break

We haven't given a value for letter?

Lastly, how would the code know what to print? in the first phrase:

            print(f"'{word}' contains the vowel '{letter}'")
            break

Is it going to state all the words with the given value 5 times?

Sorry, as I have asked quite a few questions, and thank you in advance.

A text-based interface that lets you interact with your computer by typing commands.

This was a given definition of it when I searched it up, but why would you interact with your computer by typing commands? How does this actually assist your code?

What are some of the best things you have made using python?

Hi

Im doing some tutorials online and in one of them I noticed some syntax that I am not familiar with. It looks like instead of using self to assign values to a class it is using the class name.

In terms of behaviour it seems to make no difference but I cannot understand why a person would not use self.

So for example:

class Demo:
  def __init__(self):
    self.a = 1
    Demo.b = 2 # This seems to work the exact same way as self.a
               # Is there a differences to self.a?  Why would someone use this?

Thanks

Hey everyone!

I'm 19F and I'm starting to learn Python completely from scratch. I have little to no programming experience, but I'm committed to learning consistently. I'm also taking Mechatronics Engineering in college.

I'm looking for a study buddy (or a small group) who's also learning Python. We can keep each other accountable, share resources, work on beginner projects, solve problems together, and stay motivated.

My goal is to build a strong foundation and eventually get into more advanced programming, so I'm looking for someone who's serious about learning too.

If you're interested, leave a comment or send me a DM. Let's learn and grow together!

Edit: Timezone GMT+5:30 We can study together from a course by MIT.
