What Cool Things Can I Do with Python?

[tharden3]

I've started doing some GUI stuff with wxPython, and I've written some text-based programs that are pretty neat. What is some cool and/or useful stuff that I can get into and learn with Python?

Games, either entirely in Python or with a host language, servers, scripts and automation, entire applications. What could you do with a programming language? What do you want to make?

I kinda want to get into software, games, or application designing. That interests me more than anything.

For games, look into pygame as a framework. You'll still need an idea of what to make, though.

That’s…everythi ng. If you don’t know exactly what you want to be making, Python’s a good language to work with. It’s good for exploring various application domains.

Can you think of anything you want to make? A game? Some kind of software program? Something you want a program to handle?
