I will write a python script to automate your repetitive file or data task


About this gig
Tired of doing the same file or data job by hand every week? I write a plain Python script that does it for you, tested against the sample file you send me.
What you get: one working script, a README with exact run steps, and a requirements.txt. I use the Python standard library only unless you approve a dependency, so it runs on a clean machine without installs.
Good fits: renaming or sorting files in bulk, merging or splitting CSVs, cleaning exported reports, pulling fields out of text or JSON, producing a summary file from raw data.
How it works: you paste the before and after of one manual run and attach a sample input. I build against that, test it, and deliver a repo or gist link (or a zip on the order).
Higher tiers add command-line options, a config file, error handling, a log file, a 3-step pipeline, a scheduling recipe (cron or Task Scheduler), dry-run mode and an HTML run report.
Not offered: scripts that need your internal systems, logins or credentials; Windows .exe builds; ongoing support or retainers. Message me before ordering if you are unsure your task fits.

FAQ
Will the script run on my computer?
I use only the Python standard library unless you approve a dependency in writing, so it should run on any machine with Python 3 installed. I tell you which version I tested against.
Can you build a script that logs into my systems?
No. I do not take scripts that need your internal systems, passwords, API keys or credentials. Work on files and data you can send me.
Can you give me a Windows .exe?
No. I deliver Python source. Packaging into an .exe is not part of this gig.
What if my sample file is different from the real thing?
The script is tested against the sample you send. Send a representative sample and I will say in the README what it does and does not handle.
Do you offer support after delivery?
Only the revisions included in your package. No ongoing support, retainers or on-call help.
