I have automated an ill-thought process that used to involve creating an ad-hoc 1500 line windows batch program to carry out an unattended remote installation every time my company tried to deploy new content on their large network of Video Lottery Terminals. I was hired basically to help develop those silly windows batch programs which were creating a bottleneck, and by writing step by step a 5000 line python program that automatically generated the batch programs, the bottleneck went elsewhere. The whole process is as ill-thought as ever, but I'm no longer stressed, and they haven't had to replace the members of the team who left the company, effectively downsizing it from five to two people. I have also used Python to do lots of file processing, one time programs.
