I have recently automated image renaming on Dropbox to rename thousands of image files. Also wrote a script to do on-the-fly translation of Excel sheets from German to English.
Are these two "stories" compelling enough to get your attention? :)
If you feel like sharing how you went about it, I'd be happy to publish your stories. Feel free to send a draft to joe@compellingpython.com, or let me know if you'd like some help getting started!
Sure. I will send a draft soon.
My plan right now is to publish about one story a week -- I'll also tell some of my own Python stories, mostly about using Python with cloud services and data analysis.
