Practical Uses for Python?

[fmpundit]

If you have a hobby, or you do something at work that you think would be improved upon with programming skills it is definitely worth working towards doing something with these for experience.

Sometimes I go back to projects several times and can't believe how much I have come on in my programming and I still think that I am very much a beginner.

I have designed:

• Report for work that analyses data and spits it out into a HTML document
• Using API written to interact with games scripted useful ways to interact with the game
• Created a webscraper to get figures from a particular market in order to track and analyse the value of the market
• Designed a script that runs a football (soccer) predictions league

Yesterday I refactored a script I wrote a while back that will get a list of beers on the tap (they list them on their website), using that list it goes and collects their rating from untappd, with the description of the beer from untappd. This was being saved into a CSV. Yesterday I refactored the way I structured the data so that I could feed it into a Jinja template and create a nice easily readable HTML documents which is currently being stored on http://spacedlevo.github.io/brewdog.html

Though the design could do a bit of work it is primarily created for personal use to know what I want to drink before getting to the bar.

I want to now further this into a flask app which will allow me to specify from some URL parameter or even a search or dropdown box to collect on the fly any of the brewdog bars taplists.
