Cool Things to Do with Python?

[kttr]

I have been teaching myself python for the past year. I have run out of ideas for programs in python. Does anyone have any cool or interesting programs that you could make with python?

Hello,
This site has a collection of stuff that has some canned content; however, there are idea prompters at the end of some of the presented projects... and my thought is that you could take the presented idea and improve on it, better graphics, better user controls/interface etc...

Have you seen this website: Project Euler?

Have you learned to use Tkinter or one of the other GUI toolkits? One of my favorite projects was a hip roof geometry calculator.

Tkinter looks interesting, but a little rough-looking. Would it be possible to make clean, polished, pretty GUIs with Tkinter or would you need something else for a better-looking user interface?

Run the simple example here to get an idea of what it looks like on your machine/OS. Note that this is for Python 2.x, 3.x uses all lower case --> import tkinter.

Oh I see. The display isn't the same for all computers.
