title: Is there a way to create a Tableau session via Python which will open a workbook and refresh extracts, then publish workbook to the server?
body: <p>I am looking everywhere for this and not having much luck.  I am using Python 2.7 and Tableau 9.0.  If you(reader) know of any other viable options, I'm open to anything, but more proficient with Python.  Can anyone please give me direction as to where this can be found?  Or if it is even possible?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you,
  Phil </p>
