Looking for Feedback on My Personal Finance Tool in Python

Asked by CuriousCoder99
Hey everyone! I'm pretty new to Python and I spent about a day developing a personal finance analysis tool called M.I.L.O. I'd love to hear your thoughts on my code and any advice you might have on how to improve it or what I should tackle next. Here's a glimpse of the code I've put together: ```python import pandas as pd import os as os import shutil as shutil # Function to display menu def menu(): print("💰 Hi I'm M.I. L. O - Your Personal Finance Analysis 💰") print("1. 📊 View Financial Analysis") print("2. 💳 Upload New Statement") print("3. 💸 Set Budget") print("4. 📈 View/Export Reports") print("5. ⚙️ Settings") print("6. 🚪 Exit") choice = input("💬 Enter your choice: ") return choice ``` I have a few functionalities already working, like uploading statements and viewing analyses. Any feedback, especially from more experienced Python users, would be greatly appreciated!

Hey, the formatting doesn't do it justice, but I suggest learning about type checkers like Mypy and a linter like Ruff. They'll really teach you good Python practices. If youโ€™re into command-line interfaces, give `argparse` or `typer` a try. Youโ€™ll definitely improve your script with those!

ArgparseLover92: I agree, `argparse` is great, but donโ€™t forget to check out `click` too!
