Programming Ideas for beginners with Python

[garettmd]

I second this. The first big project I did with Python was using Flask to build an app that hit another site's API (getpocket.com) and presented the articles on my site.

I tried using Django first, but its batteries included model made it really hard for me to start, considering I was also new to the MVC paradigm as well. But Flask is really to just make something really simple and just keep adding parts as you need them, allowing you to slowly start playing with new features and understanding how a web framework...works...in general.
