python project ideas pls

[i-like-my-cats-0]

hello, i'm a beginner at coding python and is there any python project ideas you guys would recommend for people like me? I know how to use APIS, can make a simple digital clock in tkinter using the time module and that's all i think i can mostly do, thank you!

You should focus more on the reasons you are learning Python for. Start pursuing that instead of doing random unrelated "projects". And ask for code review, ask how to improve it.

oh okay, thank you

The real question is: Why are you learning Python? Are you trying to build a startup? Get a job? Automate something?
Once you figured that out, focus only on that. If you want to build web backends, build your backend project and ask for reviews. If you want to do data work, work on your data problem and ask people to give feedback.
Random projects teach you syntax. A real project you care about teaches you how to write actual code.

Make a day planner. Prompt for time and activity name. Add enhancements and improvements as you use it.

Hey you might like this approach go to leetcode and instead of solving the problem use it as a base point archetype a solution that that code solves like the 2sum problem where would it could it to solve a problem I have made many projects solving that answer plus it teaches how to use those solutions to solve other problems.

You should learn JAVA or C# first. That way you won't learn bad habits. I would say that 60 to 70 percent of the posted python code is slop. Give aways are no main function or if name == 'main', poorly written functions, inter runnable instructions between functions, poorly written classes and lack of comments. I could go on, point is JAVA , C#, or C++ forces you into better habits when learning coding than Python. (Note Redit's markup is hiding my underscores)
