📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal: The session aimed to enhance a Python script with improved logging, troubleshoot file save issues, and implement best practices for code generalization.

Key Activities:

• Enhanced a Python script to include detailed logging with timestamps and progress messages, improving traceability and performance monitoring.
• Diagnosed and troubleshot file save issues by checking file paths, disk space, filesystem errors, and script logic.
• Addressed disk space and file integrity issues on an external drive using Linux commands.
• Implemented best practices for code generalization, such as using relative paths, user-defined paths, and configuration files.
• Developed a script to log progress and elapsed time for data processing tasks.
• Verified DataFrame merge operations by adding checks for row count consistency and logging results.
• Enhanced logging functions with a verbose argument to control the verbosity of log messages.

Achievements: Successfully enhanced the Python script with comprehensive logging and debugging capabilities. Implemented best practices for code generalization and verified data processing steps.

Pending Tasks: Further testing of the enhanced script in different environments to ensure robustness and adaptability.
