How to automate Python

1. Specify first line and main to run program directly.
2. Define docstring on latest change, STATUS of program

3. Define github URL where program is located in docstring

4. Get parameter values from argument specified in call within CLI
5. Read secrets from .env file outside the program and GitHub, cloud (akeyless.com)
6. Positive and negative unit tests for each function (PyTest?)

7. Read CSV file for multiple iterations

8. Define OpenTelemetry (OTel) spans for tracing
9. Define a code for each message
10. Measure duration of each function with scope processed

11. Output log entries with duration and process scope

12. Instead of Matplotlib:
    • Plotly (for interactivity and modern UI)
    • Altair (for quick, declarative, grammar-based plots)
    • Polars + hvPlot (if you’re moving toward faster, Arrow-native workflows)
