The session aimed to enhance Python file handling capabilities and improve script structuring for better code readability and functionality.

Implemented a Python script to read files, count lines, and display the first 40 lines.
Utilized pathlib to check file existence and size, ensuring robust file management.
Developed code to read and process text files, extracting line information efficiently.
Created a function to identify function definitions and variable assignments within code.
Demonstrated contextual looping for printing ranges of lines with formatted output.
Made modifications to ingest.py to refine ingest logic and created manifest.py for artifact and metadata management.

Successfully read and processed text files with Python, enhancing file I/O operations.
Improved code analysis techniques by identifying specific code structures and debugging lines.
Enhanced script modularity and maintainability by restructuring code and creating new scripts.

Further testing and validation of the new manifest.py script to ensure it meets all requirements for artifact management.
