scripting

i know im late in learning python, but you know what it is said “it’s better late than never”. python is a great scripting language and i wanted to start learning it along time ago, but i think the best way to learn something is by actually using it in something usefull.  last week i had a task to rename some folders, actually it was only a part of the folder name that i have to change , so the task needed some string manipulation and file system access, i know this job could be done using bash and regular expressions , but i thought it is really a good time to give python a try , i opened google and started looking for articles . it didnt took me a lot of time to figure out the script , and the final result was awesome , i  loved it even if it is a small script , i loved the way python combines OOP with scripting capabilities.
