For a school project I need to make a simple python program. I need ideas so if you have something that you want made for you then please post it here. I’ll release it here under a gnu general public license once I’ve finished.
AI debate program. Make calls to 2 different AIs where you have them debate some topic that is put in by the user. See how far off topic they can get…
Give me lotto numbers.
Edit: to be more specific USA mega millions lotto numbers.
five random numbers from 1 to 70 (the white balls) and one random number from 1 to 24 (the Mega Ball).
>>> import random >>> random.sample(range(1,71),5),random.choice(range(1,25)) ([43, 8, 15, 66, 28], 17)
You can build an RSS scraper that posts news from multiple sources to Lemmy. RSS is very well documented and you can use pythorhead to interact with Lemmy.
Alternately, you can scrape data from a currency exchange site and live display their data on your GUI. Trying to scrape sites teaches you a lot of things about how to approach it. You can make use of beautifulsoup library to sort out from the whole site.

Software synthesizer

Guitar tuner
Sheet music to tab converter
Wordle clone
Stock tracker
zip/unzip tool
mp3 codec encoder / decoder
ebook converter
CLI ebook reader
A posix compliant shell
Ascii video player (play youtube videos on the console using ascii)
Spotify client that runs in the terminal
QR code generator
CLI Flashcardsthere’s a pretty wild range there from fairly easy to make in a few hours to massive community effort over several decades
The asci video player would be cool. I don’t need to go to my web browser to watch youtube, I could do it in the terminal! terminal spotify client also seams cool, although I wouldn’t know where to start with that. I could just make an mp3 player, it would align with my idea of privacy. What do you mean by ebook converter? does it convert physical book pages to ebooks? i’m slightly confused.
Also I love the cli based ideas we need more cli apps.
VLC can play video in the terminal like this:
vlc --vout=caca video
does it convert physical book pages to ebooks?
I’m guessing it converts something like ePub to PDF. You could try to write in a way such that it becomes simple to add new formats.
