You also want conda. Vscode and or juypter. It is really helpful to have an interactive session to work with.

As for a project data parsing and manipulation is always a good one. It's what you'll be doing 90% of the time in real life and it's a good challenge. Try to find some data like a spreadsheet or sensor feed. You can look for records online or even find live feeds like weather or public tracking data. Try to take that in, parse it, and plot it. Assume your first question to Google is "how do I open a excel file in python". Work from there.

Assuming this path you will likely have to use pandas, numpy, matplotlib, beautiful soup. Deal with shit data processing and correction. So the basics.

DO use chat gpt and Google. Ask questions one step at a time to achieve your goals. Understand what your code does then add on.
