Automation Mindset and Python Setup

This lesson sets up the mindset and workspace needed to succeed with Python automation. You will learn how to identify worthwhile automation opportunities, think in terms of inputs, steps, and outputs, and avoid overbuilding scripts before the problem is clear.

You will also prepare a practical Python environment for the rest of the course: installing or verifying Python, choosing an editor, running scripts from the terminal, and organizing a small automation project folder. By the end, you should be ready to write and run simple scripts confidently.
