Summary

1. Convert JSON to CSV

This script will convert your JSON data to a CSV file. It takes .json a file as input and provides .csv the
file as output.

Installation

pip install json

import json
if __name__ == '__main__':
try:
with open('input.json', 'r') as f:
data = json.loads(f.read())

output = ','.join([*data[0]])
for obj in data:
output += f'\n{obj["Name"]},{obj["age"]},{obj["birthyear"]}'

with open('output.csv', 'w') as f:

f.write(output)
except Exception as ex:
print(f'Error: {str(ex)}')

2. Password Generator
This simple Python project is using random and string package to generate a random string of a given
length.

import random
import string
total = string.ascii_letters + string.digits + string.punctuation
length = 16
password = "".join(random.sample(total, length))
print(password)

3. String search from multiple files

Finds a file with the supplied string in the folder of your choosing.

import os
text = input("input text : ")
path = input("path : ")
# os.chdir(path)
def getfiles(path):
f = 0
os.chdir(path)
files = os.listdir()
# print(files)
for file_name in files:
abs_path = os.path.abspath(file_name)
if os.path.isdir(abs_path):
getfiles(abs_path)
if os.path.isfile(abs_path):
f = open(file_name, "r")
if text in f.read():
f = 1
print(text + " found in ")
final_path = os.path.abspath(file_name)
print(final_path)
return True
if f == 1:
print(text + " not found! ")
return False

getfiles(path)

4. Fetch all links from a given webpage

This script gets all links from a particular website and saves them as a text file.

Installation

pip install beautifulsoup4 requests

import requests as rq
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url = input("Enter Link: ")

if ("https" or "http") in url:
data = rq.get(url)
else:
data = rq.get("https://" + url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(data.text, "html.parser")
4 / 65
50-useful-python-scripts-free-pdf-download.md 12/05/2022

links = []
for link in soup.find_all("a"):
links.append(link.get("href"))

# Writing the output to a file (myLinks.txt) instead of to stdout

# You can change 'a' to 'w' to overwrite the file each time
with open("myLinks.txt", 'a') as saved:
print(links[:10], file=saved)

5. Image Watermarking
This project will take a photograph and put a watermark of your choice on it.

Installation

pip install Pillow

import os
from PIL import Image

def
watermark_photo(input_image_path,watermark_image_path,output_image_path):
base_image = Image.open(input_image_path)
watermark = Image.open(watermark_image_path).convert("RGBA")
# add watermark to your image
position = base_image.size
newsize = (int(position[0]*8/100),int(position[0]*8/100))
# print(position)
watermark = watermark.resize(newsize)
# print(newsize)
# return watermark

new_position = position[0]-newsize[0]-20,position[1]-newsize[1]-20
# create a new transparent image
transparent = Image.new(mode='RGBA',size=position,color=(0,0,0,0))
# paste the original image
transparent.paste(base_image,(0,0))
# paste the watermark image
transparent.paste(watermark,new_position,watermark)
image_mode = base_image.mode
print(image_mode)
if image_mode == 'RGB':
transparent = transparent.convert(image_mode)
else:
transparent = transparent.convert('P')
transparent.save(output_image_path,optimize=True,quality=100)
print("Saving"+output_image_path+"...")

folder = input("Enter Folder Path:")

5 / 65
50-useful-python-scripts-free-pdf-download.md 12/05/2022

watermark = input("Enter Watermark Path:")

os.chdir(folder)
files = os.listdir(os.getcwd())
print(files)

if not os.path.isdir("output"):
os.mkdir("output")

c = 1
for f in files:
if os.path.isfile(os.path.abspath(f)):
if f.endswith(".png") or f.endswith(".jpg"):
watermark_photo(f,watermark,"output/"+f)

6. Scrap and Download all images from the WEB Page

This script will utilize the selenium and beautifulsoup4 packages to download all photos from a specified
webpage.

Installation

1. We need to install selenium and beautifulsoup4 using pip python package manager pip install
selenium beautifulsoup4 .
2. Then download chrome driver as per your chrome browser version and OS from here —
https://chromedriver.chromium.org/
3. You have to enter the chromedriver path asked by the program.

from selenium import webdriver

import requests as rq
import os
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import time

# path= E:\web scraping\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe

path = input("Enter Path : ")

url = input("Enter URL : ")

output = "output"

def get_url(path, url):

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r"{}".format(path))
driver.get(url)
print("loading.....")
res = driver.execute_script("return
document.documentElement.outerHTML")

return res

6 / 65
50-useful-python-scripts-free-pdf-download.md 12/05/2022

def get_img_links(res):
soup = BeautifulSoup(res, "lxml")
imglinks = soup.find_all("img", src=True)
return imglinks

def download_img(img_link, index):

try:
extensions = [".jpeg", ".jpg", ".png", ".gif"]
extension = ".jpg"
for exe in extensions:
if img_link.find(exe) > 0:
extension = exe
break

img_data = rq.get(img_link).content
with open(output + "\\" + str(index + 1) + extension, "wb+") as f:
f.write(img_data)

f.close()
except Exception:
pass

result = get_url(path, url)

time.sleep(60)
img_links = get_img_links(result)
if not os.path.isdir(output):
os.mkdir(output)

for index, img_link in enumerate(img_links):

img_link = img_link["src"]
print("Downloading...")
if img_link:
download_img(img_link, index)
print("Download Complete!!")

Executing the Script

To run the following script you have to open the terminal into the script’s root directory and need to enter
the following command

python3 scrap-img.py

It will ask for the chrome driver path which you have just downloaded and a URL from which you want to
download images.

7. Low Battery Notification

7 / 65
50-useful-python-scripts-free-pdf-download.md 12/05/2022

This python script displays a notice regarding the device’s battery percentage.

Installation

To run this script we need to download the psutil, py-notifier, and win10tost by running the following
commands.

1. psutil
> pip install psutil

2. pynotifier
> pip install py-notifier

3. win10toast
> pip install win10toast

# pip install psutil

import psutil

battery = psutil.sensors_battery()
plugged = battery.power_plugged
percent = battery.percent

if percent <= 30 and plugged!=True:

# pip install py-notifier

# pip install win10toast
from pynotifier import Notification

Notification(
title="Battery Low",
description=str(percent) + "% Battery remain!!",
duration=5, # Duration in seconds

).send()

Executing the Script

Open your terminal into the root directory of your script file and run the following command

python3 battery.py

8. Calculate Your Age

This script prints your age in three different ways: Years, Months, Days

8 / 65
50-useful-python-scripts-free-pdf-download.md 12/05/2022

import time
from calendar import isleap

# judge the leap year

def judge_leap_year(year):
if isleap(year):
return True
else:
return False

# returns the number of days in each month

def month_days(month, leap_year):
if month in [1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12]:
return 31
elif month in [4, 6, 9, 11]:
return 30
elif month == 2 and leap_year:
return 29
elif month == 2 and (not leap_year):
return 28

name = input("input your name: ")

age = input("input your age: ")
localtime = time.localtime(time.time())

year = int(age)
month = year * 12 + localtime.tm_mon
day = 0

begin_year = int(localtime.tm_year) - year

end_year = begin_year + year

# calculate the days

for y in range(begin_year, end_year):
if (judge_leap_year(y)):
day = day + 366
else:
day = day + 365

leap_year = judge_leap_year(localtime.tm_year)
for m in range(1, localtime.tm_mon):
day = day + month_days(m, leap_year)

day = day + localtime.tm_mday

print("%s's age is %d years or " % (name, year), end="")
print("%d months or %d days" % (month, day))

Executing the Script

It is quite simple to execute the script!

9 / 65
50-useful-python-scripts-free-pdf-download.md 12/05/2022

Simply open a terminal in the folder containing your script and enter the following command:

python3 calculate.py

Then you have to enter the name and age

input your name: XYZ

input your age: 33
Output - XYZ's age is 33 years or 406 months or 12328 days

9. Organized download folder with different categories

This is a Python script that sorts files in the Download directory into other folders based on their extension.

import os
import shutil
os.chdir("E:\downloads")
#print(os.getcwd())

#check number of files in directory

files = os.listdir()

#list of extension (You can add more if you want)

extentions = {
"images": [".jpg", ".png", ".jpeg", ".gif"],
"videos": [".mp4", ".mkv"],
"musics": [".mp3", ".wav"],
"zip": [".zip", ".tgz", ".rar", ".tar"],
"documents": [".pdf", ".docx", ".csv", ".xlsx", ".pptx", ".doc",
".ppt", ".xls"],
"setup": [".msi", ".exe"],
"programs": [".py", ".c", ".cpp", ".php", ".C", ".CPP"],
"design": [".xd", ".psd"]
}
#sort to specific folder depend on extenstions
def sorting(file):
keys = list(extentions.keys())
for key in keys:
for ext in extentions[key]:
# print(ext)
if file.endswith(ext):
return key

#iterat through each file

for file in files:
dist = sorting(file)
if dist:
try:

10 / 65
50-useful-python-scripts-free-pdf-download.md 12/05/2022

shutil.move(file, "../download-sorting/" + dist)

except:
print(file + " is already exist")
else:
try:
shutil.move(file, "../download-sorting/others")
except:
print(file + " is already exist")

10. Send Emails in Bulk From CSV File

This project includes a straightforward bulk email script that delivers the same message to a list of
recipients.

Installation

This project only requires the Python standard library (more specifically, the csv, email, and smtplib
modules).

import csv
from email.message import EmailMessage
import smtplib

def get_credentials(filepath):
with open("credentials.txt", "r") as f:
email_address = f.readline()
email_pass = f.readline()
return (email_address, email_pass)

def login(email_address, email_pass, s):

s.ehlo()
# start TLS for security
s.starttls()
s.ehlo()
# Authentication
s.login(email_address, email_pass)
print("login")

def send_mail():
s = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com", 587)
email_address, email_pass = get_credentials("./credentials.txt")
login(email_address, email_pass, s)
# message to be sent
subject = "Welcome to Python"
body = """Python is an interpreted, high-level,
general-purpose programming language.\n
Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991,
Python's design philosophy emphasizes code readability\n
with its notable use of significant whitespace"""

message = EmailMessage()

11 / 65
50-useful-python-scripts-free-pdf-download.md 12/05/2022

message.set_content(body)
message['Subject'] = subject

with open("emails.csv", newline="") as csvfile:

spamreader = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=" ", quotechar="|")
for email in spamreader:
s.send_message(email_address, email[0], message)
print("Send To " + email[0])

# terminating the session

s.quit()
print("sent")

if __name__ == "__main__":
send_mail()

Executing the Script

The script necessitates the use of two configuration files:

emails.csv should include the email addresses to which the message should be sent.
credentials.txt should include your SMTP server login credentials, with your user name and password
on separate lines and no extra whitespace or decorations.

The project directory contains two sample files that you will almost certainly desire and need to alter.

Once you’ve got these files in place, all you have to do is

python Send_emails.py

11. Get the IP Address and Hostname of A Website

This script will be used to fetch the IP address and hostname of any website.

# Get Ipaddress and Hostname of Website

# importing socket library
import socket

def get_hostname_IP():
hostname = input("Please enter website address(URL):")
try:
print (f'Hostname: {hostname}')
print (f'IP: {socket.gethostbyname(hostname)}')
except socket.gaierror as error:
print (f'Invalid Hostname, error raised is {error}')

get_hostname_IP()

12. Terminal Progress Bar

Here I just take the example of image resizing for displaying the progress bar. when we convert lots of
images at a time we can use the progress bar to show how many images are resized.

Installation

Library to show the progress bar

pip install tqdm

Library to resize the images

pip install Pillow

from tqdm import tqdm

from PIL import Image
import os
from time import sleep

def Resize_image(size, image):

if os.path.isfile(image):
try:
im = Image.open(image)
im.thumbnail(size, Image.ANTIALIAS)
im.save("resize/" + str(image) + ".jpg")
except Exception as ex:
print(f"Error: {str(ex)} to {image}")

path = input("Enter Path to images : ")

size = input("Size Height , Width : ")
size = tuple(map(int, size.split(",")))

os.chdir(path)

list_images = os.listdir(path)
if "resize" not in list_images:
os.mkdir("resize")

for image in tqdm(list_images, desc="Resizing Images"):

Resize_image(size, image)
sleep(0.1)
print("Resizing Completed!")

genres = []

# Define path where your films are present

# For eg: "/Users/utkarsh/Desktop/films"
path = input("Enter the path where your films are: ")

# Films with extensions

filmswe = os.listdir(path)

for film in filmswe:

# Append into my films list (without extensions)

r.write(i.getText())

r.close()
print("File Saved as random_wiki.txt")

28. Check Website Connectivity

This script includes a basic utility for checking website connections.

Website URLs should be listed one per line in the input file websites.txt.

A two-column report with the URL of each tested site and its state is included in the output file website
status.csv.

The script just checks for a 200 status code from the webserver.

Each time you run the utility, the result file will be overwritten.

import csv
import requests

status_dict = {"Website": "Status"}

def main():
with open("websites.txt", "r") as fr:
for line in fr:
website = line.strip()
status = requests.get(website).status_code
status_dict[website] = "working" if status == 200 \
else "not working"

# print(status_dict)
with open("website_status.csv", "w", newline="") as fw:
csv_writers = csv.writer(fw)
for key in status_dict.keys():
csv_writers.writerow([key, status_dict[key]])

[0, 7, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
[0, 9, 0, 6, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
[1, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 4],
[0, 0, 8, 0, 0, 5, 0, 7, 0],
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 8, 0],
[0, 2, 0, 0, 1, 0, 7, 5, 0],
[3, 8, 0, 0, 7, 0, 0, 4, 2]]

38. Checksum
This script can generate checksums from md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, and sha512. Additionally, for
another layer of secret, it can create signed checksums using HMAC and a provided secret. Lastly, to
provide actual value to the script it can also verify if a checksum matches the file it was generated from.

Examples:

Generate a sha1 checksum

python checksum.py -H sha1 -f test.txt -g

# b29d28bc5239dbc2689215811b2a73588609f301

Generate a signature

python checksum.py -f test.txt -s secret

# 3YYMCthY4hFxQj1wPF3uAg==

Verify a checksum

python -H sha1 -f test.txt -v b29d28bc5239dbc2689215811b2a73588609f301

Verify a signature

import os

# Read data from active worksheet and return it as a list

def reader(file):
global path
abs_file = os.path.join(path, file)
wb_sheet = load_workbook(abs_file).active
rows = []
# min_row is set to 2, ignore the first row which contains headers
for row in wb_sheet.iter_rows(min_row=2):
row_data = []
for cell in row:
row_data.append(cell.value)
rows.append(row_data)
return rows

# You can replace these with your own headers for the table
headers = ['Nume', 'Prenume', 'Titlu', 'Editura', 'Cota', 'Pret', 'An']
# Unified excel name
workbook_name = input('Unified Workbook name ')
book = Workbook()
sheet = book.active
# Specify path
path = input('Path: ')
