Here are some top Python automation scripts that can simplify everyday tasks:

1. Automate Web Scraping (Extract Data from Websites)

This script fetches the latest news headlines from a website.

import requests

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url = "https://news.ycombinator.com/"

response = requests.get(url)

soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, "html.parser")

for idx, item in enumerate(soup.find_all("a", class_="storylink")[:5], start=1):

print(f"{idx}. {item.text}")

2. Automate Sending Emails

Sends an email automatically.

import smtplib

from email.message import EmailMessage

def send_email():

email = "[email protected]"

password = "your_password"

recipient = "[email protected]"

msg = EmailMessage()

msg["Subject"] = "Automated Email"

msg["From"] = email

msg["To"] = recipient

msg.set_content("Hello! This is an automated email.")

with smtplib.SMTP_SSL("smtp.gmail.com", 465) as server:

server.login(email, password)

server.send_message(msg)
send_email()

print("Email sent successfully!")

🔹 Tip: Use an App Password instead of your Gmail password.

3. Bulk File Renaming

Renames all files in a folder sequentially.

import os

folder_path = "/path/to/folder"

prefix = "file_"

for count, filename in enumerate(os.listdir(folder_path)):

old_path = os.path.join(folder_path, filename)

new_path = os.path.join(folder_path, f"{prefix}{count}.txt")

os.rename(old_path, new_path)

print("Files renamed successfully!")

4. Convert Text to Speech

Converts text into speech using pyttsx3.

import pyttsx3

engine = pyttsx3.init()

engine.say("Hello! This is an automated voice.")

engine.runAndWait()

5. Automate WhatsApp Messages

Sends WhatsApp messages using pywhatkit.

import pywhatkit

pywhatkit.sendwhatmsg("+1234567890", "Hello, this is an automated message!", 14, 30)

🔹 Tip: This will open WhatsApp Web at 2:30 PM and send the message.
6. Download YouTube Videos

Downloads YouTube videos using pytube.

from pytube import YouTube

url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=your_video_id"

yt = YouTube(url)

yt.streams.get_highest_resolution().download()

print("Download Complete!")

7. Auto Organize Files

Organizes files into folders based on file type.

import os

import shutil

folder_path = "/path/to/downloads"

file_types = {

"Images": [".jpg", ".jpeg", ".png", ".gif"],

"Documents": [".pdf", ".docx", ".txt"],

"Videos": [".mp4", ".mkv"],

"Music": [".mp3", ".wav"]

for file in os.listdir(folder_path):

file_path = os.path.join(folder_path, file)

if os.path.isfile(file_path):

for folder, extensions in file_types.items():

if file.endswith(tuple(extensions)):

new_folder = os.path.join(folder_path, folder)

os.makedirs(new_folder, exist_ok=True)

shutil.move(file_path, new_folder)
print("Files organized successfully!")

8. Check Internet Speed

Measures internet speed using speedtest-cli.

import speedtest

st = speedtest.Speedtest()

download_speed = st.download() / 1_000_000

upload_speed = st.upload() / 1_000_000

print(f"Download Speed: {download_speed:.2f} Mbps")

print(f"Upload Speed: {upload_speed:.2f} Mbps")

9. Automate Website Status Check

Checks if a website is up or down.

import requests

url = "https://example.com"

try:

response = requests.get(url)

if response.status_code == 200:

print(f"{url} is UP!")

else:

print(f"{url} is DOWN!")

except requests.ConnectionError:

print(f"{url} is NOT REACHABLE!")

10. Auto Shutdown PC

Schedules a shutdown in 60 seconds.

import os

os.system("shutdown /s /t 60") # Windows


# os.system("shutdown -h +1") # Linux/Mac (1-minute delay)

11. Get Weather Updates

Fetches the current weather for any city using OpenWeatherMap API.

import requests

API_KEY = "your_api_key"

city = "New York"

url = f"https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q={city}&appid={API_KEY}&units=metric"

response = requests.get(url).json()

print(f"Weather in {city}: {response['weather'][0]['description']}, {response['main']['temp']}°C")

🔹 Tip: Get an API key from OpenWeather.
