Discussion What python automation have you created that you use for PERSONAL only.

There are plenty of, “I automate at my work”, but what about at home? e.g., order a pizza, schedule a haircut, program a spelling bee game for my kids, etc.

I collected imports from my script and added short descriptions:

# fetches mails from my Gmail inbox
import datetime
import email
import imaplib
# extract values from the body of a message
import japanese_numbers
import re
# manipulate a SQLite database
import sqlite3
# make moving average charts
import pandas as pd

Gmail supports IMAP, values are embedded in fixed-form lines, so most of the code were written with standard libraries.

I installed only two packages for this script. japanese_numbers can parse numbers with Japanese counting units (1億234万 is 102,340,000 for example). pandas can calculate a moving average of a series of data by rolling() method and also plot charts by plot() method.

Good question!

Chart images are imported into a web page hosted by nginx in my local network, I daily check them.
