Problem: Need to regularly clean up your downloads folder?

Solution: Use the file_organizer.py script:

# scripts/python/file_organizer.py
import os
from pathlib import Path

DOWNLOADS = Path.home() / "Downloads"

for file in DOWNLOADS.iterdir():
    if file.suffix:
        target_dir = DOWNLOADS / file.suffix[1:].upper()
        target_dir.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
        file.rename(target_dir / file.name)
