Welcome to Practical Business Python (PB Python). The purpose of this site is to share knowledge about how to use python and the various modules in the python eco-system to make you more effective and efficient in your day to day job.

In many technical communities such as system administration, web development and scientific computing, python is very well known. However, my experience is that in the Windows-dominated corporate environment, very few people have experience with python. I think it is truly a shame that python is not more widely used in this setting. I believe that businesses of all sizes could benefit from having more employees using python on a daily basis to automate the more repetitive or boring parts of the job.

I am starting PB Python in order to spread the knowledge about the tremendous value that python can provide in a typical business environment. Too many people only think about Excel or Access but I think these individuals could be even more impactful in their jobs if they had the knowledge of how to use python to solve the problems they face on a daily basis.
