Program ideas by Python for beginners

Question

I am a beginner in Python and I want some ideas for programs that I can do with python to make sure that I fully understand it all

Answer 1

For a beginner figuring out on your own (no cheating ;) how to write a simple recursive method, like a factorial - is already a solid achievement.

Or a program that defines a class and its methods, manipulates its attributes depending on user action (a comprehension of OOP).

Just how beginner we are talking about?

Answer 2

if you're a beginner just in Python, not in programming, a nice challenge would be using libraries 'email' and 'smtplib' to write a simple command-line app to send an email. =D

It's not that hard and not that simple. And gives you a nice idea of what python can easily do for you. Also gives you an opportunity to use many of Python features.

p.s.: Both libraries, 'email' and 'smtplib', are standard. Access python 3 docs for more details.
