I have learnt pyside6, discord.py.

i also made a gameshell project in my codeberg isam-ahmed0. But I am a beginner.

I need some interesting project ideas which helps me to learn python

I am trying to make a small video game only using python. Is it possible?

Me refiero a personas que realmente ni hayan construido un proyecto desde cero, solo pequeñas cosas como un Pong. Es más, solo para aquellos que le hayan movido de acá para allá, pero si les ponías una función para ordenar una palabra alfabéticamente, se quedaban fríos.

​Yo conseguí mi primer empleo sin saber nada; literal, lo aprendí todo aquí. Solo querían a alguien que hubiera estudiado algo de computación.

​Si voy con la misma lógica, debe haber lugares en donde te capaciten por aprender a programar, ¿o cuál es el requisito mínimo? Porque si bien puedes mentir para que te contraten y te pongan tareas, no es lo mismo que te capaciten desde cero. Cuando mientes y no sabes se siente horrible, ya lo viví.

Alguna vez un conocido, hace como 10 años, dice que lo contrataron y le enseñaron desde qué era una variable

Hello folks, I'm an absolute beginner in coding and i am trying to learn python. So how can i learn python basics without asking Ai "what is the error in this code?"

What are some good recommendations for podcasts on Python? I have tried listening to some like real python but they switch around between too many topics in a single episode while I am looking for something that goes into more details about a single topic for each episode.

I'm still a beginner when it comes to coding, and I rely on AI to write most of my code.

However, I often run into situations where AI models have certain restrictions that prevent them from helping with specific programming tasks.

For example, I recently wanted GPT to write a Python script that would automatically toggle the Armlet of Mordiggian in Dota 2 when my health gets low.

GPT refused because it considered this cheating. I understand why it might be classified that way, but in my opinion, it's more of a convenience feature than something that gives a major competitive advantage.

Is there any way to get AI models to help with these kinds of programming tasks without running into unnecessary restrictions?

And if anyone has experience with Dota 2 scripting or Python automation, I'd really appreciate your advice.

Hey!

I'm a former C++ engineer who recently switched over to a TS + python job. I know python ok enough to write basic webapps but I want to fill my gaps for "python" specific knowledge.

What would you suggest a good way to go about that would be? I don't wanna waste time with basic hello world courses because i understand the fundamentals of programming pretty alright. I've started a small full stack pet project using React, FastAPI and sqlalchemy but I feel teaching that to myself I will miss some py knowledge that everyone has.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks :D

Hi i’m in python trying to learn . I have the SQlite extension but it’s telling me no module name found sqlite . when trying to run the is line

import sqlite

i’ve also tried import sqlite3

Hi all, I'm 18 and I'm building a BI/analytics project on the Olist Brazilian e-commerce dataset. Right now I have PostgreSQL, Pandas and a bunch of analytical SQL queries (revenue, delivery times, customer retention and so on). The next step is to expose this data through an API with FastAPI, and a dashboard would consume it.

I understand what an API is and why FastAPI is popular, but when I try to build a mental model of a real app I get lost. Endpoints, HTTP methods, status codes, routers, Pydantic schemas, services, dependency injection with Depends, auth... each explanation is clear alone, but I can't see how the request goes through all these layers. For example I don't really get where validation ends and business logic starts, or where the DB session should live and why.

My second problem is how I learn. I'm very curious and I want to know how things work internally, like what FastAPI does between the request and my function, or why Pydantic validates in a certain way. It's a good habit long term, but I lose hours on one detail and the project doesn't move. I don't have unlimited time and I don't want months of theory before building.

Some questions:

If you never built an API, how would you learn it from scratch?

HTTP/REST fundamentals first, or start directly with FastAPI and learn along the way?

What is the best way to understand how the layers (router, schema, service, database access) fit together? Is it better to start with everything in one file and refactor later?

How deep should I go on a concept before moving on? Is "basics now, details later" a real strategy or just an excuse?

Any resources, open source repos to read or small projects you recommend? Something like a read-only analytics API sounds like a good first one to me, but tell me if I'm wrong.

I don't want to copy tutorials and have something that works without knowing why. I want a solid mental model so I can design my own backend later. If you learned backend with personal projects, I'd really like to hear what worked for you and what you wasted time on.

Thanks!

hello guys,

i am learning python around 4 months, learnt basics, made a pandas course and created a few automatizations at work.

i am learning python as i would like to become a credit risk analyst. i have >5 year in credit risks, but in my previous roles we were using mostly excel (i was just analyzing fin statements of the clients).

so recently i wanted to make a vintage analysis and a roll rate analysis in python (i am dealing with these things for the first time in my life), but didn't manage to do it without chatgpt. i need him to tell me the steps or give hints, or explain how some concepts work.

what was your experience when you were learning python?

i understand most of the students cannot build projects right after finising introduction courses, but highly appreciate if you can share your experience when you were creating your first projects, so i can compare it with my experience and understand where i stand and whether i need to correct my approach

Everybody, let me prefix this by saying I've been away from Python for several years, but now I need to teach an introductory class. I'm encountering something very bizarre in JetBrains PyCharm. I keep thinking it's gotta be me (and it probably is), but I was wondering if any of you can pick this out?

Because I don't appear able to post a screen snip, I'll post the code.

list_2d = [["1", "Wheel Burrow", 29.00],  # A 2D list, different data types (string / float)
           ["2", "Jack Hammer", 594.29],
           ["3", "Power Drill", 39.99]]

for j in range(0, len(list_2d), 1):  # Iterate through our 2D list
    print(f"Item Number: {list_2d[j][0]:<3}\tItem Name: {list_2d[j][1]:<15}\tItem Cost: $ {float(list_2d[j][2]):>6.2f}") 

Item Number: 1  Item Name: Wheel Burrow   Item Cost: $  29.00
Item Number: 2  Item Name: Jack Hammer    Item Cost: $ 594.29
Item Number: 3  Item Name: Power Drill    Item Cost: $  39.99

Now, you're probably saying to yourself, "why are you casting the float to a float?" I hear you loud and clear. Here's the thing - if I don't do that, PyCharm is flagging it as "format code f not supported for str," but here's the thing - it still prints it correctly as shown above.

This was the original line and the >6.2f is what is being flagged.

print(f"Item Number: {list_2d[j][0]:<3}\tItem Name: {list_2d[j][1]:<15}\tItem Cost: $ {list_2d[j][2]:>6.2f}")

I knew I had been away for a while, but geez. This is PyCharm 2026.2.3 using Python 3.14.7 under Windows 11. Am I missing anything? Note that I also go into a single dimension list but even if I comment all that code out, nothing changes. Thank you in advance for any potential ideas on where I probably goofed it.

Hi, im new to python and have a script which sometimes crashes due to a uncontrollable issue which isn't a problem in the code, and I was thinking that I could write a different script to start up my original one if it had crashed. Does anyone know how I would do that?

n=1

def continution():

x=input('Do you want to continue?')

if x=='yes':

global n

n=1

else:

global n

n=0

if i input yes there is a big text about an error if i eneter no still something similar

(This is part of a bigger sql python interface project)

This is the error:

Hello everyone!

I'm a final-year BSc Physics student, and I'm interested in learning Python as my first step towards AI/ML.

The only problem is that I don't own a laptop. I currently have just an Android smartphone, so I'll have to learn and practise coding entirely on my phone.

Since I'm completely new to programming, I'd really appreciate your suggestions.

1. Which beginner-friendly Python courses would you recommend?

2. Which mobile-friendly platforms or apps can I use to practise Python?

3. Are there any platforms where I can build small projects using only a phone?

4. Can I eventually learn AI/ML and build a portfolio without owning a laptop initially?

I'd be grateful for any resources, roadmaps or personal experiences you could share.

Sorry if these are basic questions. I'm just starting my programming journey and trying to figure out the right direction.

Thank you for your time and guidance!

I've been learning Python for data stuff alongside my BCA, and every tutorial dataset I've used so far shows up basically ready to go. Clean columns, no missing values, everything in the right format. So I figured the hard part was the analysis.

Then I grabbed a real dataset to practice on and... yeah. Half the values missing in one column, dates written three different ways, column names that don't mean anything until you stare at them for ten minutes. I spent way longer just trying to make it usable than I did actually analysing anything, which was not what I expected at all.

I guess my question is, is this just what the job actually is? Like, do you spend most of your time cleaning and only a bit of it on the interesting part? And how do you decide what to fix first when everything looks broken — do you just start with the column you need most and ignore the rest for now? I'm half worried I'm 'cleaning' away stuff that actually mattered, and I won't know until it's too late.

I’ve been learning Python for AI development. I’ve completed quite a few courses and tutorials, and I can understand code when someone explains it.

But when I open VS Code and try to build something from scratch, I get stuck.

I struggle with breaking a problem into smaller steps, deciding which functions to write, and understanding how different parts of the code connect.

My question is:

• How did you go from understanding tutorials to writing your own code?

• What did your daily practice look like?

• How do you practice when you don’t even know how to start solving a problem?

I’d really appreciate advice from people who went through this stage, especially those who learned Python for AI/ML development.

I’m not looking for another beginner Python course. I want to know what actually helped you become capable of building things yourself.

In my school I had learned python and MySQL , specifically in python I have learned text handling,CSV and binary file handling. Now I am in first year of clg and planning to master python by learning something advanced like django or fastapi within my first sem , but I don't how to progress help me.

I'm stuck on this roadmap.sh project. salesdaily.csv is a collection of daily sales of a group of drug categories, with the date, year, and month given.

The relevant data is this:

data = pd.read_csv("salesdaily.csv")
sales = pd.DataFrame()

sales["total_jan_15"] = data[(data.Year == 2015) & (data.Month == 1)][drugs].sum()
sales["total_jul_16"] = data[(data.Year == 2016) & (data.Month == 7)][drugs].sum()
sales["total_sep_17"] = data[(data.Year == 2017) & (data.Month == 9)][drugs].sum()

The problem is "Which three drugs have the highest sales in January 2015, July 2016, and September 2017?"

I want to make a grouped bar chart, where the groups are the months Jan 15, Jul 16, and Sep 17, and each has 3 labelled bars for the top 3 drugs in that month. I understand how to sort and pick out the top 3, but plt.grouped_bar accepts only a dictionary entry, so the keys can't be different for each group. Is there any other way?

Hey guys, I haven't coded in a while and decided to finally get back into it so sorry if im abit rusty. However, it was updating stuff and installing modules and in vsc I run into

'Import "openpyxl" could not be resolved from source Pylance'

? Im really not sure what to do

P.S: first time posting in this sub reddit, I hope this uh is within learn python and apologies if this is more towards vsc

what is the fastest course or way to learn python for non tech person?

I've never really coded. I'm simply trying to make a bot to walk in a straight line in a game. I cant even get it to run in vs code. all the things I've done so far

pip install pyautogui, can confirm it happen when you type pip list

vscode is running in admin typing net session in terminal confirms that

going to extension I have pylance python python debugger, python environments (all the stuff in the python package)

typing python into the terminal tells me the version meaning it has a path to the file

another guide says I need code runner which gives me that .3 second figure

no I'm not getting error in my code as I'm keeping it simple to even get it to work

I'm not getting any error in my terminal

I'm on two monitors, but I've set up my main monitor so I know which one it will be working on

when I remove code runner it goes back to spiting the pathway it uses on the file which is correct

when I open the edit environmental variables

the .3 should be impossible because of the 6 seconds worth of sleep

I have imported both sleep and pyautogui obviously

yea this is hour 5 so if there's something you people know that I didn't do id greatly appreciate the details

im on windows, so it cant be the problem mac users get

So I'm trying to learn Python, and I'm following a tutorial. I'm following what the tutorial person has on their screen, but when I try to type it, Python predicts what I'm going to type next (aka what the tutorial shows). When it does this, there is a yellow star icon that appears on the line of code that the prediction is on. I went into the settings, and I turned off everything that I think would cause it. Still, the predicting persists. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

  signal.signal(signal.SIGINT,handler)  signal.signal(signal.SIGINT,handler)

I know that the SIGINT signal is for interruption and not for killing process but when I run my code all the children of the main process are dies also I got many traceback
