Using Python to Interact with the Operating System
About this course
This course is designed to explore how to execute Python locally and organize and use code across different Python files. Learners will learn how to read and write different types of files, use subprocesses and input streams, create Bash scripts, and use regular expressions. This course also covers automatic testing and explains how to set up a developer environment on a personal machine. We’ll kick off by exploring how to execute Python locally, and organize and use code across different Python files. We'll then learn how to read and write different types of files, and use subprocesses and input streams. We'll also dive into Bash scripting and regular expressions -- both very powerful tools for anyone working with systems. We'll even touch on automatic testing, which allows us to automate how we check if our code is correct. To finish, we’ll put all this together by using the tools that we’ve acquired to process data and generate automatic reports. We’ll also explain how to set up your own developer environment in your machine. This is a key step in being able to write and deploy powerful automation tools.
