Please do more like this - the real world application and step-by-step process to create the solution is invaluable! Great stuff. Thanks.

Wow, I know little about Python but this is about the first tutorial I've seen posted which didn't swamp me with jargon and show me tiresome tasks like counting the letters of my name. Instead, it showed what Python can do that is useful. Really interesting. Thanks for posting - you've restored my interest again.

OMFG! Besides the great teaching through simple instruction, I'VE NEVER SEEN SIMULTANEOUS TYPING BEFORE! AMAZING! MIND BLOWN! Seriously, I can't stop smiling.

[carlosguzman]

This was a really entertaining tutorial that I can actually use. You were straight to the point and werent talking about other stuff that dragged on. I really liked how you did the side-by-side to show the up to date changes. Thanks and please do more tutorials like this.

BIG THANKS!! I've just started learning python without any programming background. Your videos and the way you explain Different steps helped me very much. Also your real life scenarios motivates me not to stop mastering Python.
Thanks again.

Awesome video, man. I've watched dozens of videos about Python on youtube, and yours are consistently the clearest, most concise, and informative. Please keep making more!

Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Greetings from Brazil.

[VictorOlet]

Corey, this is great! This is something I face often and one of the reasons I wanted to learn Python (Coding).
Please do more videos like this!

[finedinerest]

This is exactly what any developer would dream to do with any programming language, thats is to automate daily routine and manual work. Thanks for making video so concise and would love to see more such videos in future.

[andrewstebbing]

I've only just discovered your YouTube channel, Corey, and this is another great video; easy to follow and well explained. I have followed along, then written a reverse script to put the files back in their original order. I've also duplicated both scripts using Paths from the pathlib module. Your instruction makes this so easy to do - thanks

[doodahgurlie]

Such an AWESOME video! This really brings all your previous videos together and show us how Python can be used to fix repetitive tasks in our everyday lives. Please do more of these!
