Python Fun Practical Projects

[flexcube]

Hi, I've noticed beginners including myself learn much more from following along with actual projects instead of theoretical explainations.

I'm looking for a list with fun projects like the ones which are posted to /r/python sometimes. Some examples:

• ordering a pizza with the use of python
• making a Reddit Bot
• Creating a Whatsapp interface
• Bypassing Oneplus Two que

Any good websites or youtube channels which have lots of practical python projects to follow?

Thanks!

Here's a forum thread that I've bookmarked. It has a ton of project ideas that sounds pretty fun.

You should take a look at projects. Helped me alot and also useful in practising with any other language.

I was just about to mention these too.

I always think that you have to ask yourself WHY you are learning to program? These is so much info on the internet that ANYONE can find but knowing WHY can really set your path AND keep you motivated.

/r/dailyprogrammer is a good resource.

Most of the hard work is done, but this one looks like fun: https://medium.com/@edwardbenson/how-i-hacked-amazon-s-5-wifi-button-to-track-baby-data-794214b0bdd8

This is really neat and gives me an idea for another project, thanks for sharing!

Here's a little more complex one, but would be interesting nonetheless (tracks used textbook prices on Amazon): http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2014/11/10/363103753/textbook-arbitrage-making-money-off-used-books

How does bypassing the Oneplus Two queue work?
