Your Partner for Python Automation

To start approaching automation with Python, you’ll have to understand two things first: what automation is, and what Python is. You might have some idea of what these names refer to, but it’s always good to brush up your knowledge with a more substantial definition.

Automation: a process in which a manually performed action is transformed into one that happens automatically.

The process of automating a task is one in which a framework is activated. This framework, for our purposes a programming script, makes it possible for the task to be performed autonomously, on its own, without user intervention. Why would someone choose to automate a task? There are two main reasons.

• Automating a task means that it can run a lot quicker, most of the time.
• Automating a task means there’s less potential for mistakes, as the impact of human error is mitigated.
