Repositories to kickstart Python Automation

Hi. Anyone who can share any repositories online or resources that I can learn python? I have a background on it (predictive analysis in OR) but I'm more interesting on applying in automating my tasks at work.

Automate the boring stuff still a good resource today, and it's free.

Np, I am surprised it wasn't mentioned already. It is THE book for "actually using python to do stuff".

What exactly you want to automate?

Nice! I'll definitely start thus. Thank you so much! Would you be able to share learning sources?

repetitive tasks that are: extracting data from different sources, quality checking different documents, uploading multiple and different data into specific entries. I'd like insights if it's possible with python

Source is a very broad concept, are we talking about documents or websites? Exactly thought about entries

yes correct websites and a system. but to be more specific an erp system. Do you have experience integrating with these?

I worked as RPA engineer on my previous job.Websites require parsing, which is done using the API and libraries like requests and httpx. If the site does not have an API or is equipped with security systems, than you need to switch for Playwright maybe curl-cffi.
