A curated collection of small, standalone Python scripts covering tasks like web crawling, file manipulation, JSON/CSV conversion, Git helpers, and API examples. It serves as a practical learning resource and a grab-bag of utility scripts maintained by Real Python.
Use cases
- find example python scripts for web scraping
- convert to yaml with a script
- split a csv file into multiple files
- clone all repos from a github user or org
- learn python by reading small scripts
- script to remove pyc files from a git repo
- scrape stock prices or email addresses from websites
When to choose
- you want small, readable example scripts to learn from or adapt
- you need a quick one-off utility like csv splitting or conversion
- you are teaching or demonstrating common Python automation tasks
When to avoid
- you need a maintained, installable tool or library with a stable API
- you need production-grade, tested software for critical workflows
- you expect a unified CLI or package rather than independent scripts
