Python has so many useful functionalities. We can create a reporting tool wiht gmail using python.
What is reporting tool here? Reporting tool is nothing but to send the information to client.
Example: You are a python developer and developed webscraping scripts. The work of these scripts are, scrape the data from websites and store it into database. Now client wants some information like this,
- How much data inserted into database
- How many new records have founded.
- Is there any data has missed.
- How much unique data is available in database
- How many records deleted from database
- How many duplicate records inserted into database
- How many records failed to insert into database
- Any issues or error found while scraping
- Do we need to do any data validation
- Who is the author of this script.
