To shake it up compared to other responses. I regularly integrate the PyWin32 library into work scripts. Sometimes you just need a way to automate interactions with Windows in those non-dev jobs.
The most recent was a script that parsed a financial report and generated multiple emails depending on a set of criteria. Then the user could manual review these emails and press send if everything checks out. The goal of the script was to reduce some of the menial work my financial co-worker was doing. I don't have it published on GitHub because it has some internal company info in it. But it worked cleanly, and regularly saves him hours of tedious work.
Also I highly recommend EasyGui library for those quick scripts that need user input from people who are not comfortable with a console/cmd. Helps make different types of popup windows for user input/selection with a few simple lines.
