Since everyone else is, I'll add my list. * API lookups of various sorts (usually via HTTP requests) * Audio analysis. Calculate the maximum and average volume of each of many songs. * Code generation. The audio analysis output is in the form of a Lua script (a VLC extension); also I have Python scripts that generate SourcePawn code for CS:GO integration, and various other things. * Decoding and analyzing myriad formats of files, including Borderlands save files (now which character had that level 62 legendary weapon I wanted...) * Mathematical analysis and testing. Python has excellent arithmetical and higher mathematical tools. * Automated tidying up of files to eliminate spurious diffs (eg with OBS Studio's config files) * Web apps involving PostgreSQL databases, various API calls, etc, etc * Financial calculations - parse the downloaded transactions files from my bank, correlate with my client list, automatically mark invoices as paid * Command-line calculator - pressing Ctrl-Alt-P will open up a terminal with Python, and that's the normal way that I do quick calculations * And a ton of quick one-off scripts for a wide variety of jobs. Python's one of my favourite languages, and I use it a lot :) ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
