In a Python project, there is often a folder called “scripts” which is used to store executable script files. These scripts are typically used to perform specific tasks or functions, such as launching applications, data processing, backing up data, and so on.<\/p>\n

Placing these script files in the scripts folder has several benefits:<\/p>\n
