Python Scripting refers to writing short, often standalone Python programs to automate repetitive tasks, process files, glue together other tools, or perform system administration duties. Unlike building large applications, scripting emphasizes quick, practical solutions for tasks like batch file renaming, data extraction, or scheduled jobs. It's a widely used skill among IT administrators, data analysts, and developers who need lightweight automation.
