What can you use lists for in Python?

Question

Say, if you are creating a small game or a useful bit of code. I haven't seen any real uses for them yet, just little things where a name is printed out letter by letter.

Answer 1

List or tuple or set are all ITERABLE containers kind of object in Python [Everything in Python is object], which are basically used to store countably finite number of elements. Think of it like a basket containing fruits where basket represents the iterable and fruits as its element.
A simple use case:
Suppose you want to perform binarization (image processing operation) in every images available in a folder. Then you can store the image file names in a list and access each image file by it's name and perform binarization.

Answer 2

Well lists are used when you want to store data or characteristics of something in "The same place".
For example let's say you have a function called prime() that says if a number is prime or not and you want to check and print the prime numbers from a to b in a "nice way":
instead of:
for i in range(a,b+1):
if prime(i):
print(i)
You can say:
l=[]
for i in range(a,b+1):
if prime(i):
l.append(i)
print(f"The prime numbers from {a} to {b} are: {l if l else 'none'} .")
Of course there are others examples but this one was the first that came to my mind.
