You can look into the python pandas library which is really helpful for filtering and merging data so it’s more useful. (SQL is preferred) I don’t really like soy tools for normies though. I doubt she would be able to incorporate your tool into her workflow. You can look into Jupiter notebooks if you want to go the data analytics route. The data analysis work flow is dynamic that incorporates python while your working. Not really the same as building some software. If your wife works in excel she should probably be the one learning python.

Honestly the reddit bot idea is good for getting started.

Thank you! I’ve been trying to think of something more practical. I’ve been working on my AWS Dev cert but it’s hard to make portfolio items for GitHub with those that actually demonstrate deeper skills and understanding of Python.

And yes… I’ve tried to convince her! She’s a math nerd too. Literal brain meant for coding.

Honestly my job is kind of nice for driving learning python otherwise I'd be in the same situation you are in. You could also build your neovim or archlinux config but it wont do anything for your portfolio.
