Ideas for Python learner

Name: Amhed 2011-04-01 1:10

I am learning Python, what is some good projects/ideas of what to program so I can learn Python and then learn a real language down the line.  Nothing math as I am not wanting to do something boring math, I want to do fun stuff to stay interested while I learn.

Thank you.  Also English is not my first language so apologize if my request does not sound accurate.

the best advice for a python learner is to disregard any advice from users of other programming languages, because it's a ploy to convert you

instead, you should convince them that python is superior to all other languages, and that they should use it exclusively

python is all of the following:

1. small, efficient implementation, by far the fastest dynamic language in current use
2. very simple semantics with no corner cases
3. extremely effective, leading-edge jit compilers
4. the indentation-based syntax ensures there is no possibility of ambiguous code, nor is it possible to lose meaning as a result of transmission errors
5. "only one way to do it" is the most profound design goal of any language, and python rigidly follows this rule
6. easily sandboxable, important for running untrusted user code
7. multithreading-friendly, when you really want to show c++ who's boss
