Automation and Scripting: Python is often used for writing scripts to automate tasks.
python
import os
import shutil
# Define the source and destination directories
source_dir = "/path/to/source"
dest_dir = "/path/to/destination"
# Create the destination directory if it doesn't exist
os.makedirs(dest_dir, exist_ok=True)
# Copy files from source to destination
for filename in os.listdir(source_dir):
full_file_name = os.path.join(source_dir, filename)
if os.path.isfile(full_file_name):
shutil.copy(full_file_name, dest_dir)
print(f"Files copied from {source_dir} to {dest_dir}")
Game Development: Python, with libraries like Pygame, can be used for game development.
python
import pygame
import sys
pygame.init()
# Set up the game window
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800, 600))
pygame.display.set_caption("Simple Game")
# Main game loop
while True:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
pygame.quit()
sys.exit()
screen.fill((0, 0, 0)) # Fill the screen with black
pygame.display.flip() # Update the display
Web Scraping: Python is also popular for web scraping with libraries like BeautifulSoup and
Scrapy.
python
6. import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
# Send a GET request to the website
url = "https://example.com"
response = requests.get(url)
# Parse the HTML content
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, "html.parser")
# Extract and print the title
title = soup.title.string
print(f"Title: {title}")
These are just a few examples of how Python can be used. Let me know if you need more detailed
examples or have specific applications in mind!
