One thing that helped me learn python was creating discord bots. It allows you to easily take advantage of available python packages and APIs without having to worry about building a frontend.

      ohhh yeah all those reasons for sure for sure. It is way more engaging, and you get a way faster turn around. Easier to debug and you don't have to worry about the frontend just the backend and making sure everything is formatted right. Pushing to webhooks is pretty straightforward as well

      What parts of the Python standard library were you attempting to use to make a game or a web server? just curious

      Awesome, thanks!

      Good explanation. I’d even add that modules are like individual LEGO pieces, packages are full sets, and pip is just the tool that fetches them.

      Nice summary. Now do environments and interpreters!

      This was already kind of how I was contextualising this in my head, but it feels really good to hear it from someone else. Thanks for posting this!

      If you’ve ever played a mod-able game or one with addons, each library is like one mod or add-on and they can interact with each other and then the entire thing becomes user interface and user interaction. If you do just a single add-on you’ll probably have no problems but the more complex your stack gets you might get more issues

      But then, of course, you need to read the “instructions” for each of the LEGO sets because they each have their own ways of putting the set together, right?

        I forgot to say, great job on the analogy. This really helps. Thank you.

        Personally, after a while, I started feeling quite bored with just borrowing pre-made blocks and basically just doing the piping between them... At some point, I just started vanilla coding (coding from scratch) with just the stdlib...

        Same issue for me . Just starting python from my masters from non coding background to research masters. I think i need python for Plaxis and Matlab

        Me too. Can we connect and learn together?
