#python #automation #tutorial #productivity

I''ve been a Python developer for 5+ years, and over time I''ve built a collection of automation scripts that handle the boring stuff so I can focus on what matters. Here are the 5 most impactful ones.

1. Smart File Organizer

Tired of messy Downloads folders? This script automatically sorts files by type, date, and project.

\python
import os
import shutil
from pathlib import Path

def organize_directory(target_path):
extensions_map = {
'Images': ['.jpg', '.jpeg', '.png', '.gif', '.bmp'],
'Documents': ['.pdf', '.docx', '.txt', '.xlsx', '.pptx'],
'Archives': ['.zip', '.rar', '.7z', '.tar', '.gz'],
'Code': ['.py', '.js', '.html', '.css', '.java', '.cpp'],
'Videos': ['.mp4', '.avi', '.mkv', '.mov'],
'Audio': ['.mp3', '.wav', '.flac', '.aac'],
}

for folder, exts in extensions_map.items():

    folder_path = Path(target_path) / folder

    folder_path.mkdir(exist_ok=True)

    for ext in exts:

        for file in Path(target_path).glob(f'*{ext}'):

            if file.is_file():

                shutil.move(str(file), str(folder_path / file.name))

print(f'Organized {target_path} into {len(extensions_map)} categories!')

Usage

organize_directory('/path/to/your/folder')
\
