Introduction 

          Are you a python learner?  Want to know exciting ideas for python projects? Python is a highly adopted programming language almost in every field. It has a huge scope even after 2021. Using Python programming you can jump into the most exciting careers like data scientist, machine learning engineer, or python programmer. Because of its features like easy-to-use, interpreted high-level language people prefer to learn python over other languages.  
There are several topics on which beginners can do projects. But as a beginner, you would think why do we need to do projects? We can learn theory instead, right? Our answer to this question is no. You should always rely on practical-based learning. The important reason behind this is it helps to do more hands-on practice on concepts, and second is it increases your logical thinking and problem-solving ability. In this article, we are going to discuss some exciting python project ideas for beginners. 

Python Project Ideas

1. Greeting User

          Every programmer’s first project is displaying hello world on the screen. Instead of printing hello world you can take the name as an input from the user and greet the user with the message you want. For this, you can create a small window with a textbox, label, and button using a tkinter. The user will input the name and by default, a message will appear on the label. 

2. Percentage Calculator

          This is a very initial project while learning programming. In which the programmer accepts all marks from the student and calculates the percentage. The same thing can be done in the loop for a number of students. At a high level, you can design one form using Tkinter and users can insert marks of multiple students. Also, you can give database connectivity. All marks will be saved in a database and at last summary of all students can be shown on the screen. 

3. Find max min 

          In the scenarios where you need to find out the latest or smallest value from the list, there are multiple options. You can apply sorting algorithms or you can compare every number in the list but it is a time-consuming process. There is max() and min() functions through which you can find the greatest and smallest number from the given list.

4. Display digits of the numbers separately

          Using the divmod() function in python you can display the digits of the numbers separately also you can do more operations like the addition of all digits, multiplication of the digits, printing specific digits of the number, displaying numbers in reverse order, etc. 

5. Count down clock days: hours: minutes: seconds format

          We often see the count-down clock on online shopping websites. Where you read messages 10 hours: 50 Minutes: 30 Seconds are remaining to end the season sale in this format. Using the divmod() function in python you can display the time in the given format. You can accept the time from the user in seconds and then you can display the time in days, hours, minutes, and seconds format.

6. Display the grade of the student

          For calculating the grade of the student you need to calculate the total and percentage first. Based on certain criteria you can display the grades of the students. Using conditional statements you can display the grades of the students.

7. Mileage calculator  

          Whenever  taking a new bike  or  car  you  used  to  think  about  the mileage.  Higher  mileage  is  having higher chances of buying the bike. Using python you can accept the speed and time spent for travel from the user and then calculate the mileage. You can design a GUI for this using the Tkinter library. 

8. BMI Calculator

          Body Mass Index Calculator is one of the simplest and popular projects. In this programmer accepts the weight and height from the user and then calculates the BMI. Variations can be done to this project by using loops and calculating BMI for a number of users. 

9. Weight Converter (Kg to lbs and lbs to Kg)

          kilogram and lbs are the units used to measure the weight. Programmer can accept the weight in any given format and then convert the weight by using formula. You can create a GUI using the Tkinter library and then it will work as a real converter. 

10. Height Converter (Meters to feet and feet to meters)

          Feet and meters are the units used to measure height. Programmer can accept height in meters and then convert it to feet and vice versa using formula. You can create a GUI using the Tkinter library and then it will work as a real converter. 

11. Electricity bill Calculator

          For each country, state, city there are different charges for electricity units. Programmer can accept the units and charges from the user and can create an electricity bill calculator. You can create a GUI using the Tkinter library and then accept the units and rate from the user, finally, the bill will be generated and displayed on the screen. 

12. Bill generator

          Leaving a shopping counter without generated bill is an impossible thing. Before paying the amount customer always ask for a bill. By accepting the total amount and tax in percentage programmer can generate a bill.

13. Bank statement generator

          Programmer can accept the total balance of the user and deposit or withdraw the amount and print the statement on the screen.

14. Rolling a dice game

          In this program, the programmer can use the random module in python which will display random numbers from 1 to 6. Whenever the user will run the code he will get a different random number every time. 

15. Word count

          Programmer can accept a paragraph from the user and then display the words and letters in the text. At a high level, any file can be taken as an input, and total words, characters can be displayed on the screen. 

16. Patterns using ‘*’

          Programmer can print various patterns like rectangle, triangle, inverse triangle using for loop and any character. The Tower of a letter or character is the best example of a pattern. 

17. Guessing the number game

          Programmer can give 3 or 5 attempts to the user for guessing the correct number in the given range. Also, some hints can be given to the user.

18. Message encryption 

          Programmers can encrypt any message using the reverse cipher in python. Because there are several libraries like PyOpenSSL, PyCrypto, and M2Crypto in python, and those libraries are used for encryption. 

19. Currency Converter

          Programmers can write a python code for converting any currency for example dollar to rupees and similarly for other currencies also. 

20. Dictionary 

          Using in-build libraries in python programmer can write a code that will return the meaning of the word in the specific mentioned language.

21. Map

          Programmer can create a map of the geographical area using some in-built libraries like geopandas and many more. 

22. QR code generator

          Nowadays QR code is used in all sectors and it is really very easy method to use. The meaning of QR code is Quick Response Code. To generate the QR code, Python provides a QRcode module.

23. Event maker using the calendar 

          Using the Tkinter library in python programmer can include a calendar in his code. Also, users can add events to specific dates. 

24. App for desktop notification

          Using python libraries like notify2 and requests programmers can build this kind of apps. This app will send you the information after a fixed time. 

25. YouTube video downloader

          As YouTube doesn’t provide any option to download the videos because of its different format and quality measures programmers can easily write a code to download YouTube videos.

26. Feedback form  

          Using the Tkinter library you can use text boxes, labels, dropdown menus, and buttons to design a feedback form. 

27. Login window 

          Using the Tkinter library and the options included in that library you can design a login window.  Additionally, you can do validation for the password field.

28. Temperature Converter

          Using Python you can create a GUI and convert the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa.

29. Simple Mathematical Calculator 

          You  can  use  the  Tkinter  library  to  create a  mathematical  calculator.  This  calculator  can  perform basic to advanced mathematical operations.

30. Text to speech converter

          Python has an in-built feature TTS. Using this feature you can convert any text to speech. 

31. Import excel file and read columns

          Using pandas,  NumPy  libraries  you  can  import excel or CSV file into the program and read the columns separately. Also, you can display specific columns of the file, you can find missing values from the columns. 

32. Generate the graph of the data

          Using data visualization libraries like matplotlib, seaborn you can display the data which is stored in the excel file into any graphs like a bar graph, scatter plot, pie chart, etc. 

33. Create or deploy Chatbots

          You can use the chatterbot library and flask framework to deploy chatbots to your website. 

34. Trending Keyword research

          By  login  into  your  Google  account and check the l atest  trends  on  Google you need to import the TrendReq library from python. Using this library you can check keyword trends by region. Also, you can check daily trending keywords.

35. Customized Emails

          By importing a CSV file you can write a code to access the fields from the file and send customized emails to the people. 

36. Website Blocker Program

          You can write a code using python that will block the mentioned websites on your computer.

37. Guess the word game

          Same as guessing the number game you can create a list of words and provide hints to the user so that they can guess the correct word.

38. Tic-Tac-Toe game

          In 3 by 3 matrixes we used to play this game and for winning the game x or o needs to be in diagonal. The same game can be designed in python using the Pygame library. 

39. Building tower of numbers in ascending or descending order

          Using  loops  in  python  you  can  display  numbers  in patterns of towers. Numbers can be in ascending or descending order or you can use any character instead of the number.

40. Story builder

          In python, you can accept words from the user and then convert those random words to the story. The structure of the story will remain the same only those words will change. This can be a fun-loving project for kids.

41. Sudoku game

          Using python and pygame library you can create a 9 by 9 matrix and create a Sudoku game. In this game, the user needs to arrange 1 to 9 numbers in such a way that no number will appear twice in a vertical or horizontal line. 

42. Voting poll

          This is the most widely used project in media. After the election based on the data received we can see voting poles on news channels. Using data analysis and visualization you can create a voting poll.
