Python projects

[CrazyMonkeyFox]

I recently started programming in python. Having studied other languages before I'm picking it up quite fast. I was just wondering is there any open projects in this community in python that I can help with or whatever.

Rewrite the Schedule Plugin for Deluge 1.x!

Guessing that was humor? Text lacks the ability to purvey tone unfortunately. :)

I think it is an answer :)
don't post anything like "what projects can I or should I involve myself with ?" if you're not ready to get serious answers :D

cheers and very happy python programming :)

Well its a pretty vague request, and as its a piece of software I have no experience with, perhaps a few things he'd like changed.

I think that's the point: people can't choose projects for other people, they must choose them themselves because we only loosely know the person's interests and experiences.

Well I was just thinking that as a community there might be some open projects, that ppl can help on. Otherwise I'll think of something and post it here to see if i should go about it.

How about blender 3D?

I believe that's written in Python

Just don't get obsessed and improve your skills by writing personal projects... meanwhile, look at other projects. When you find one, just get in, but be sure to have the enough skill to master the source. Checkout the source anonymously, read it, understand it, read the TODO list, etc. before you get involved.

What now? I use that, I just don't see how this can be considered a project I can help on.
And ye, I do practice, I just wanna try my hand at something a little more useful.

I recently posted this simple script up on sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/frozendirectory/

It basically backs-up files by command line into "frozen" directories and puts the file in a folder with its own date and auto-appends numbers to the end of files to avoid overwriting other files. Its a handy tool for developers when developing and they want to make incremental backups of thier work.

As of now it is really lightweight and would be easy for a beginner to pick up and understand, but I have plans for the script to become a fully-fledged terminal-driven backup program. So if you (or anyone else) is interested in it let me know. You can PM me, or contact me through sourceforge about the project.

This sounds like SVN... with some missing features. Have you taken a look at revision control systems?

If you want to get into the whole game programming scene, Frets on Fire (http://fretsonfire.sourceforge.net/) is a Guitar Hero clone that is written in Python and uses Pygame. Check out FoFiX (http://code.google.com/p/fofix/) too - it originally started as a branch some guy started and has developed into the most widely used version of Frets on Fire.
