Python in the real world?

[44]

Other than in classrooms i'm struggling to find a practical use for Python. Many people say it's an incredibly versatile language yet, I am however only a beginner. Even trying to make a shiddy UI for a plumbers company is hard. In school we were only taught how to use modules like 'tkinter' for aesthetics and we were expected to build the engine from the ground up. I'd just like to have a conversation with people that have much more experience than me (Which shouldn't be hard :) ). Any help would be most appreciated. 

Sincerely,

I'd reccomend the pdf/course "Automate The Boring Stuff With Python"

I started python by programming bots, website parser and so on. Maybe you can code some information scraping from some website that you are interested in.

I love to use python, because there are so many practical packages on pip and because the the code is very clean

Here is how I would look at it;

Python is a lot more data science, and what I would call, prototype language than others. Trying to build a front end with python will feel kind of shitty and if you go that route its often better to just use a web frontend like Django.

I think the most solid bet is to learn how to do web scraping, API interactions, and database interactions. As in, you can scrape some data, put it into a database, and do something with it. Anaconda is a great suite of tools for Python regarding data science that I would also recommend.

You just have to find a niche or something you want to automate. For your current project, I again recommend a simple web frontend in django with some basic database interactions on the backend.
