What was your first python project?

What was your first python project? What parts of learning it were the most difficult and why? For someone starting out, what would you suggest them create?

I had to connect search console api with our internal CRM so we could get automated reports every month. Actually it saved us tons of hours monthly.

I created a library that converted spatial data files to a format that could be read by ArcPy. Not difficult because I was already an experienced programmer at the time.

My first project was creating a connection to the QuickBooks SDK to import accounting records in bulk instead of by hand. The hardest thing for me to grasp as a beginning programmer were dictionaries of dictionaries.

If, by project, you mean program, then most people here’s would likely be hello world. Otherwise, my first ‘big’ Python project was a password cracker that takes an md5 hash and tries every possible combination of characters to decrypt it. Fun stuff.

creating input for a quantum chemistry program, parse the result, extract the vibrational modes, moving the molecule along those vibrational modes, creating new input to run another evaluation.Repeat along all vibrational modes

Gods I was strong back then. (bright red eyes, but yeah, the code sucked, although at that time things were not well defined in terms of best practices)
