Automation-with-Python

This repository shows examples of how to automate different actions with python. Each project was developed based in some exercises seen in the professional certificate of google: Google IT Automation with Python

Examples

• generate-PDF, this code shows a way that let you generate PDFs with the content that you want in Python using the ReportLab module.

• log_file_report, generates CSV files as a report from a regular system log file.

• regex_examples, basic and advanced examples applying regular expressions with the re module and three of its methods: re.search(), re.findall(), re.sub()

• send-email, script that describes how to send an email message with an attachment from Python using libraries like email.message, smtplib and others.

Requirements

All of these examples were probed in Python 3.7.8 and they might work with other version. Not build-in module versions are shown in the requirements.txt file. To install all modules needed run the following line in your terminal.

  python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

If you have already installed Python in your computer you can see its version by running one of the below lines in the terminal.

  python --version
  python -V
  python -VV

If you have one of the not build-in module already installed, you can see the version of all modules installed by running the following line

pip freeze

To individually find the version number of a module_name you can grep on this output (for NIX machines):

pip freeze | grep module_name

On windows, you can use findstr instead of grep

pip freeze | findstr module_name
