Program Title: Automating Reports with Python 2: Getting Modular
Track: General
Program Description: In 2017 & 2018 Gem Stone-Logan originally presented Automating Reports with Python , aiming to teach Python in under an hour to attendees with no prior programming experience. That presentation has continued to be cited regularly by members throughout IUG and is directly responsible for my present career. The original presentation focused on crafting a single script capable of conducting a query, placing the results into a formatted Excel file, and emailing that file out as an attachment. In this session we will take the structure of that script and illustrate how its modular nature can be adjusted in order to accomplish a wide variety of tasks with little required in the way of additional experience. It is highly recommended that attendees familiarize themselves with the original presentation in advance, but it is not required.
