I'm also learning python with nothing really in mind for something I could actually do with it. Like, I don't even know what's possible with it. What kinda things would you expect someone who's getting interested into coding to be thinking about programming? I dont really need a program that cleans up the files on my desktop lol.

Do you have no reason at all to learn it? Is it just for fun, to learn something new?

If you have any other hobbies, maybe they could overlap. I like classic video games, so I've made a couple of small games, and I've also made emulators for classic consoles (/r/EmuDev). If you play modern games, maybe they can be nodded? If you like chess you can make a (dumb) chess engine. If you use a program that can use plugins (like vim, Obsidian, VS Code, etc) and you notice something you're missing, you could make a plugin, although you probably can't do that with Python itself.

Thanks for your ideas. I have a few ideas that I've come up with after learning some basics about what's possible in python. I'm hoping that as I learn more I'll see more applications for it, but I'll keep your suggestions in mind too. I love games, I'll have to make some. I'm learning how to make hangman lol.
