Python Development

Intern’s
“WE SPEAK DATA”
Task 1: Python Script for Web Scraping and
Automation
Description:

In this task, Python Development interns will


work on web scraping and automation. They
will write a Python script to extract data from
a website and automate a specific task. This
task focuses on data acquisition and
automation.
GUIDELINES
FOR
TASK 1
1. Website Selection:

- Choose a website with publicly accessible data. This could be a news website, an e-
commerce site, or any other site of interest.

2. Web Scraping:

- Write a Python script using libraries like Beautiful Soup and Requests to scrape data
from the chosen website.
- Specify the data to be scraped, such as headlines, product details, or any other
relevant information.

3. Data Processing:

- Process the scraped data, which may involve cleaning, organizing, or extracting specific
information.
4. Automation:

- Incorporate automation by scheduling the script to run at specific intervals (e.g., daily or
weekly) to keep the dataset up-to-date.

5. Documentation:

- Create a document that explains the purpose of the script, how to run it, and any
dependencies.
Task 2: Python Script for Data Processing

Description:

In this task, Python Development interns will


work on a data processing script. They will write
a Python script to automate the processing of a
dataset. This task focuses on data manipulation
and basic scripting.
GUIDELINES
FOR
TASK 2
1. Dataset Selection:

- Choose a dataset (e.g., a CSV file) with some sample data. It could be related to
any domain, such as sales, customer data, or survey responses.

2. Script Development:

- Write a Python script that reads the dataset, processes the data, and performs basic
operations, such as:
- Calculating summary statistics (e.g., mean, median, standard deviation).
- Data filtering based on specific criteria.
- Generating data visualizations like histograms or bar charts.
- Saving the processed data to a new file.
3. Automation:

- Ensure that the script can be run multiple times with different
datasets, making it a versatile tool for data processing.

4. Documentation:

- Create a brief document that explains how to use the script, its
functions, and any dependencies.
