📂 Project: Dev

Session Goal

The session aimed to enhance and debug Python scripts related to file handling, email processing, and configuration management, with a focus on automation and efficiency improvements.

Key Activities

  • Implemented a Python script to check file existence using the pathlib library.
  • Developed a function to preview file contents, utilizing libraries like textwrap, re, and [[json]].
  • Created a script to process email-related Python files, identifying class and function definitions.
  • Defined functions for text manipulation using regex, including extracting code blocks and specific text snippets.
  • Read and analyzed configuration files, checking for specific variables and extracting email configurations for debugging.
  • Outlined an initial implementation plan for email manager capabilities, using a two-pomodoro approach with a detailed workflow.
  • Debugged Makefile execution and performed smoke testing to ensure functionality and resolve issues.

Achievements

  • Successfully developed and tested multiple Python scripts for file and email handling.
  • Established a clear plan for implementing email manager capabilities, enhancing automation processes.
  • Identified and resolved key issues in Makefile execution, improving the reliability of automation scripts.

Pending Tasks

  • Further refine the email manager implementation plan and begin execution of the outlined steps.
  • Continue testing and debugging to ensure all scripts function as intended across different scenarios.
