Session Goal

The session aimed to address Python text processing tasks and automate SSH deployment processes.

Key Activities

  • Text Normalization: Implemented a Python function using the unicodedata module to normalize ASCII characters in text, applicable to DataFrame columns.
  • Date Conversion: Utilized pandas to convert dates into Spanish format ‘MES AÑO’.
  • Ledger Translation: Explored Spanish translation options for ledger captions in Python.
  • File Transfer Automation: Developed guidance on using scp with custom SSH ports and reconstructing SCP commands for file transfers.
  • Deployment Automation: Proposed creating a deploy.sh script for automating file uploads to a web server, including adding an alias in .bashrc.
  • SSH Security and Access: Managed SSH known hosts, verified server fingerprints, and addressed SSH connection issues, particularly with AWS Lightsail instances.

Achievements

  • Successfully normalized text and converted date formats in Python.
  • Provided comprehensive guidance on SSH file transfers and deployment automation.
  • Enhanced SSH security practices and resolved access issues with AWS Lightsail.

Pending Tasks

  • Implement the deploy.sh script for automated deployments.
  • Further refine SSH connection troubleshooting steps for AWS Lightsail.
