13 Advanced Python Scripts For Everyday Programming

Every day we face many programming challenges that need some advanced coding. You can’t solve those problems with simple Python Basic Syntax. In this blog, I will share 13 Advanced Python Scripts that can be a handy tool for you in your Projects. Make a bookmark on this article for future use and let get started.

1. SpeedTest with Python

This advanced script will let you test your Internet Speed with Python. Simply you need to install speed test modules and run the following code.

# pip install pyspeedtest
# pip install speedtest
# pip install speedtest-cli

#method 1
import speedtest

speedTest = speedtest.Speedtest()
print(speedTest.get_best_server())

#Check download speed
print(speedTest.download())

#Check upload speed
print(speedTest.upload())

# Method 2

import pyspeedtest
st = pyspeedtest.SpeedTest()
st.ping()
st.download()
st.upload()

2. Search on Google

You can extract the Redirect URLs from Google Search Engine. Install the following mention module and follow the Code.

# pip install google

from googlesearch import search

query = "Medium.com"

for url in search(query):
    print(url)

3. Make Web Bot

This script will help you to automate Websites with Python. You can build a web bot that can control any website. Check out the below code. This script is handy in web scraping and web automation.

# pip install selenium

import time
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

bot = webdriver.Chrome("chromedriver.exe")
bot.get('[http://www.google.com'](http://www.google.com'))

search = bot.find_element_by_name('q')
search.send_keys("@codedev101")
search.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)
time.sleep(5)
bot.quit()

4. Fetch Song Lyrics

This advanced script will show you how to fetch lyrics from any song. First, you had to get an API key that is free from the Lyricsgenius website, and then you had to follow the below code.

# pip install lyricsgenius

import lyricsgenius

api_key = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

genius = lyricsgenius.Genius(api_key)
artist = genius.search_artist("Pop Smoke", max_songs=5,sort="title")
song = artist.song("100k On a Coupe")

print(song.lyrics)

5. Get Exif Data of Photos

Get Exif Data of any Photo with Python Pillow module. Check out the below mention code. I gave two methods to extract Exif Data of Photos.

# Get Exif of Photo

# Method 1
# pip install pillow
import PIL.Image
import PIL.ExifTags

img = PIL.Image.open("Img.jpg")
exif_data =
{
    PIL.ExifTags.TAGS[i]: j
    for i, j in img._getexif().items()
    if i in PIL.ExifTags.TAGS
}
print(exif_data)


# Method 2
# pip install ExifRead
import exifread

filename = open(path_name, 'rb')

tags = exifread.process_file(filename)
print(tags)

6. OCR Text from Image

OCR is a method to recognize text from digital and scanned documents. Many Developers use it to read handwritten data. Below Python Code will help you convert scanned images to OCR text format.

Note: You had to download tesseract.exe from Github

# pip install pytesseract

import pytesseract
from PIL import Image

pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r'C:\Program Files\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract.exe'

t=Image.open("img.png")
text = pytesseract.image_to_string(t, config='')

print(text)

7. Convert Photo into Cartonize

This simple advanced script will convert your Photo into Cartonize format. Check out the below example code and Try it.

# pip install opencv-python

import cv2

img = cv2.imread('img.jpg')
grayimg = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
grayimg  = cv2.medianBlur(grayimg, 5)

edges = cv2.Laplacian(grayimg , cv2.CV_8U, ksize=5)
r,mask =cv2.threshold(edges,100,255,cv2.THRESH_BINARY_INV)

img2 = cv2.bitwise_and(img, img, mask=mask)
img2 = cv2.medianBlur(img2, 5)

cv2.imwrite("cartooned.jpg", mask)

8. Empty Recycle Bin

This simple script will let you empty your recycle bin with Python. Check out the below code to know how to do it.

# pip install winshell

import winshell
try:
    winshell.recycle_bin().empty(confirm=False, /show_progress=False, sound=True)
    print("Recycle bin is emptied Now")
except:
    print("Recycle bin already empty")

9. Python Image Enhancement

Enhance your Photo to make it look better using the Python Pillow library. In the Below code, I had implemented the four methods to enhance any photo.

# pip install pillow

from PIL import Image,ImageFilter
from PIL import ImageEnhance

im = Image.open('img.jpg')

# Choose your filter
# add Hastag at start if you don't want to any filter below

en = ImageEnhance.Color(im)
en = ImageEnhance.Contrast(im)
en = ImageEnhance.Brightness(im)
en = ImageEnhance.Sharpness(im)

# result
en.enhance(1.5).show("enhanced")

10. Get Window Version

This simple script will let you get the full window version you are currently using.

# Window Version

import wmi
data = wmi.WMI()
for os_name in data.Win32_OperatingSystem():
  print(os_name.Caption) # Microsoft Windows 11 Home

11. Convert PDF to Images

Convert all Pages of Pdf to Images with the following piece of code.

# PDF to Images

import fitz

pdf = 'sample_pdf.pdf'
doc = fitz.open(pdf)

for page in doc:
    pix = page.getPixmap(alpha=False)
    pix.writePNG('page-%i.png' % page.number)

12. Hex to RGB

This script will simply convert Hex to RGB. Check out the below example code.

# Hex to RGB

def Hex_to_Rgb(hex):
    h = hex.lstrip('#')
    return tuple(int(h[i:i+2], 16) for i in (0, 2, 4))

print(Hex_to_Rgb('#c96d9d'))  # (201, 109, 157)
print(Hex_to_Rgb('#fa0515')) # (250, 5, 21)

13. Web Status

You can check the website is up or down with Python. Check the following code, 200 status means the website is Up and if you got 404 status that means the website is down.

# pip install requests

#method 1

import urllib.request

from urllib.request import Request, urlopen

req = Request('[https://medium.com/@codedev101'](https://medium.com/@codedev101'), headers={'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'})
webpage = urlopen(req).getcode()
print(webpage) # 200

# method 2

import requests
r = requests.get("[https://medium.com/@codedev101](https://medium.com/@codedev101)")
print(r.status_code) # 200
