I learnt a little bit of Python and made some very basic scripts.

But as with all things, I've found the best way to learn something is to use it to achieve something rather than just "learning" by doing random online lessons or pointless shit with it.

What are some ideas for things I could try and program/code? For example in my previous job I wrote several scripts with canned emails in them that I could quickly send to people, and a script that spammed my colleague with emails containing any message you wanted.

But now I'm in the army and don't really have any need to automate any of my work through code. What do you guys suggest as simple coding projects?

Write a script that reads out 4chan channel threads and orders all words by number of occurence.
To see, e.g. if the word Chad is more present than the word Roasty at the moment.

Not a bad idea actually. Will probably take quite a lot of work because I'm such a noob and have no idea how to write a script that reads from a website

Of course.
If you'd asked differently, I'd have said watch the Standford introduction to programming lectures on youtube, as they use Python, but that's just very short scripts as well.
You asked for a project and I came up with one.

How useful did you find those lectures?
