#2I have a script that logs into my bank's web interface, and extracts my current balance. I subtract out my upcoming bills/savings transactions to tell me how much money I can spend until my next paycheck. My next step is to have it email the amount spendable every morning.
I'm using python 3, selenium, and SQLAlchemy connected to a home MySQL server.

The code's a bit rough, I have a bit of cleanup to go before I publish it.

#5A year ago I was lecturing mathematics and came up with a system to generate randomised coursework assignments (with corresponding markschemes, including graphs) for large classes of students (about 70 in my case). At the core of it was a python script that automated a slightly tricky latex compilation process.
You can read more about it and see the python code here: http://tug.org/TUGboat/tb37-1/tb115alsafi.pdf

That is a neat idea! I should deploy something similar. Thanks!

#8From reddit:
My brother in law has a "habit" of going to jail. All. The. Time. My wife wants to know when it happens, so I setup a script to poll the local jail inmate rosters, and send me an email when his name shows up. It works pretty well.

#9The company I work for ships a lot of packages each day. Shipments that are late, even ground shipments, are eligible for a refund if it is the carrier's fault. I have a python application that tracks shipments and let's me know which might be eligible for a refund. Saves us thousands each year.

#10I work for a botanical garden and spend a lot of my time working in the gift shop. We have a huge pile of t-shirts, dozens of designs each in several sizes. Most of the employees spend at least an hour going through the whole pile to figure out which shirts need to be restocked. I wrote a python script that takes an xls sales report generated by our POS system and outputs a list of all the shirts we've sold, by design, size and color. It takes me 5 minutes to go grab those shirts and put them out.
