Task automation has become an invaluable tool in my arsenal as a data scientist. My only regret is not getting started with automation sooner. In the past, I have felt intimidated by the process of automation because I always thought it was an intensive, tedious process.
It is quick and easy to start analysing Google Sheets data in Python using the EZSheets library.
I typically write python scripts that automate the extraction and analysis of data stored in Google Drive.
The Python logging module has been part of my toolkit since the very beginning of my data science journey (thanks to a former colleague who helped me build my first web scraper and showed me some good practices to start with early rather than later).
