What can python be used for? (Beginner)

[TechFnatic]

Hey guys, lately I've been really interested in Python, I'm watching videos and practicing a lot...which isn't too difficult. So far I've learned the basics (Strings,variables,dictionaries,tuples, integers, floats etc.) But the thing I find most difficult about python is applying it, it's hard to understand what I can use all of these tools for, and it would make programming with python so much easier. So I guess what I am asking here is, what type of programs can python create?

Like many programming languages, there are lots of applications for Python. I'm not too familiar with exact ones, but I imagine it mostly limited to what you can create with it, rather than what can be done using the language. There are of course probably situations where using another language may be more appropriate.

If you're looking for projects to learn with, I suggest following some of these tutorials, and once you've finished with each one, try expanding on it with your own knowledge. Go further than what the tutorial tells you. If you get stuck, search around on Google.

Python is pretty much limited to your imagination, it's a pretty versatile language.

blender is wrote in python. I love that program

Oh heck yeah.

 

You can write a ton of neat stuff, including games. Seen python used to remake several classics, pretty sure it can do much more though.

Awesome, I really enjoy programming, just don't have the schooling, but curiosity is probably the best tool in this case!

Python is also great with the raspberry pi and you can make some awesome projects

Python is really aweseme, esp as a first language because it forces you to use propper indentation (using tabs and so on to "organise" your code) and it has both imparitive and object-oriented things (the main 2 you need as a beginner I think). Pretty much anything can be done with it, you just need to find the propper libraries for certain I/O related things I think.

I personally never tried python, but people do say it is amazing, so I believe them . Also learn to program(in general), and not to program in a certain language. That means you have to develop the thinking of a programmer, don't worry, with practice you'll get there .

Yea, it really does force you to stay organised I noticed which is a good thing for someone just starting out!

All about working out the steps then doing it. language isn't really an issue (not so much anyway)

 

just finished planning a web based app for my graded unit in college, planning is a massive part of software development.
