🕒 05:10–08:00
🏷️ Labels: Python, Data Processing, Markdown, Error Handling, Openoffice
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM
Session Goal
The goal of this session was to develop and refine Python scripts for processing data and generating markdown outputs. This involved handling data grouping, percentage calculations, and markdown formatting.
Key Activities
- Force Quit OpenOffice Calc: Instructions were provided on using terminal commands like
killall,pkill,xkill, and manual methods to force quit OpenOffice Calc. - Python Script Development: Created a Python script to read CSV files, group data by specific columns, and generate markdown outputs.
- Error Handling: Resolved a ValueError related to unpacking in Python, ensuring correct markdown string concatenation.
- Data Analysis: Implemented functions to calculate group percentages and sort groups by these percentages before generating markdown.
Achievements
- Successfully developed a comprehensive Python script that processes data, calculates group percentages, and generates organized markdown outputs.
- Improved error handling and refined the logic for processing small groups.
Pending Tasks
- Further testing and optimization of the script for larger datasets.
- Integration of the script into a broader data processing pipeline.
