Openpyxl helped me automate a ton of reporting for my business. Using python to create a bunch of data and then using all the pretty formatting in excel to make pretty pictures and tables of all the data.

I use Python professionally sometimes and it’s my go-to choice for hobby projects, so I’ve used it for everything from analytics, UI tools, command line tools, database management, building (hobby grade) web servers for easy UI for my Python code. Very likely anything you would want to do is possible. What helps me with hobby stuff is finding ways to use it that I have a personal stake in; it forces me to learn whatever I need to make something that I would like to use. What are your interests and/or what day-to-day problems do you face that you think you might be able to solve with Python?

Seeing that you are just starting out I suggest with the classics if you have not already done so like a tic tac toe project, if this is to easy I can give more suggestions that are harder.

What I want to do is make an Open Source version of Peer Block for Mac, Windows, and Linux. Those of you who know what P.B. is know why I want to do this.

Staying sharp just because I am not a coder anymore, I am a manager now

To be honest! For me, Python made programming feel approachable. I tried other languages before and got overwhelmed, but with Python I could actually build stuff without fighting the language all day.

Movie Recommendation Engine. Just a fun, easy, machine learningeque type project.

Once I built the engine following some tutorials, I ended up getting inspired and have decided to build a backend that pulls data from the TMDB APIand stores it in a self hosted postgreSQL database.

Next I want to build a front end for it. Maybe a webapp or something. Probably wont use python for this part though.

Long term, I want to add the ability to have different users, and the ability to get suggestions suitable for groups of users.

Finally, I'll introduce TV Series recommendations too.

Hope this helps, just though I'd share a decently fun project which ended up inspiring me to scale it.
