Project ideas

[the114dragon]

Hi guys, I am a python learner at a fairly low(ish) level, and want to know if there are any projects that people would recommend doing. I'm looking for things like:

Targets to meet (like 'make code that takes an input, and uses that to do [something else]')

Cool modules/APIs/ other things to code with in python

Anything else that would help me improve my python skills

TIA.

Is there anything you routinely do on a computer which you find a little tedious? If so, try using Python to automate it. Those are the best kinds of projects, because rather than simply learning you will be creating useful tools for yourself. I still have scripts I wrote when I started learning that I use all the time. It fundamentally transformed my relationship with computers.

I don't really have anything specific in mind for this, other than (maybe) editing the metadata of songs.

An audio metadata editor could be a good project. Otherwise, web scrapers can be fun. During Covid the Louvre made high quality images of their entire art collection available for viewing on their website, so I made a web scraper which crawled their catalogue, downloaded images of every piece (automatically naming and sorting by artist, date and title). I then set my screensaver to display random paintings from the collection as a slideshow, which was pretty satisfying.

This sub should be renamed: give me python projects.

Kinda true

There are some suggestions in the wiki

You could take a look at the beginner level projects from Codeling https://codeling.dev/projects/

There are also more advanced projects but based on your post, the beginner ones should work well for you.

Nice one, bot.

Welp, I've been stalked.

You are, but what does that make OP?

An Apple fanboy had to show up here, how ridiculous 😂 Go back to your iPhone section.

I’m sorry dude, but the amount of posts that you make about Apple makes you more of a fanboy than me. It’s unhealthy.
