This week I participated in the #SEOchat discussion on X/Twitter & it was hosted by my teammate Greg Bernhardt.
I will share below the questions and answer I provided on Twitter
Q2: For those learning or working with #Python for SEO, what are some of the hurdles you experienced? #SEOChat
A2: the hardest one for me was making sure I did not miss a comma, a colon or a quote in my code. And not forgetting the indentation of course.
I can confirm that I still have to double check for that
Q4: What is your favorite publically accessible Python notebook or app? #SEOChat
A3: My favorite one, that I used a lot for the FR SEO market https://colab.research.google.com/drive/14JC2uQniiVDNAUpVEjdNTyK7rmepwjWB… by @VincentTerrasi
It's a GSC (Google Search Console) filtering script
Q5: Pandas is a spreadsheet-like module for Python. What are the advantages or disadvantages of it compared to Sheets/Excel? #SEOChat
A5: 1/ Advantages: Cleaning a huge amount of data in a few lines of code
2/ Advantages: export to cdv, xls, …
3/ Advantage: reusable, change source and run the script
4/ Disadvantages: understanding/installing Python for beginners
Q6: What are your top 5 must learn phyton modules for SEO? #SEOChat
A6: (no particular order & yes cheating a little bit) 1/ Pandas 2/ Requests 3/ Scrapy / Selenium / Beautiful Soup / @crowltech 4/ @Streamlit 5/ Advertool
Honestly I still use them, even if I am using others maybe more, these ones are really solid
