What to study next in Python?

Question

Python

I want to warn you right away that I have no experience in programming. And I did not go beyond the school course in Pascal.
...
Hello!
I read a book on python, namely "Python Bite". And now I am fixing my knowledge on code wars. The problems are fundamental and it is a pleasure to solve them. Not too difficult, sometimes even easy come across. But here's the problem. I just don't know what to do next. Solving problems is cool, but now I want to apply my knowledge to some project. I tried to write a bot in VK ... I googled it, watched a couple of videos on YouTube, looked at the VK api documentation (although I didn’t understand anything, but it was interesting), but I didn’t go further than posting posts on the wall and the usual answer to “hello / bye”, complicated. I look towards the web, especially since I studied html, css. But I would like to hear the opinion of more experienced programmers.
Continue to solve puzzles and increase the level of difficulty. Plus, read a couple more books (plans to read: grok algorithms, learn python)
Or start diving a little into the Web? Poke into Django/flask, database, etc? And only then dive into the language in more detail.
Maybe go the other way?
I feel in my heart that I need to study programming even harder, I’m still far from writing real projects (though not big ones), but I’m afraid that motivation will disappear ...
Sorry for the large number of letters.

Answer 1

Not too difficult, sometimes even easy come across. But here's the problem.

It's time to end this. Solving problems for the sake of solving problems is a dead end.

Plus, read a couple more books (plans to read: groq algorithms, learn python)

Books are also very good, but as a rule, if you want to write something in python, the most correct solution is to write something in python
Here is an example of projects for you - https://proglib.io/p/great-python-projects/

I’m still far from writing real projects (albeit not big ones), but I’m afraid that the motivation will disappear ...

You have a great motivation, you are not even a neurosurgeon, on whose movement and knowledge a person’s life depends, but just a novice programmer without skills, you don’t even have to start with this approach. Write more code, start with the simplest programs, gradually raise the bar by learning python libraries and its rich toolkit.

Oh, there is one idea. For google drive (or yndex disk) there are no normal GUI clients for linux. Yes, and the console is also not very functional. Make your own in python. Learn to work with the GUI (preferably PyQt5), with the API of other people's services, with the file system and OS signals. The work is actually not very big, quite feasible for one developer.

Answer 3

The best thing to do is start a project. For example parser. Read what you need for this, the documentation, and when you write it, you will grow greatly in knowledge. And you will understand what you are missing

Answer 4

And I would also look towards machine learning, for which there are many good libraries in python. The biggest money for a python proger in the west, not here, comes from building e-commerce applications - high-speed ones. In addition, there is one project idea for the oil and chemical industries. Not implemented yet, as far as I know.
