What it is
This is a repository of simple Python mini projects, each in its own folder under projects/, such as a password generator, a JSON to CSV converter, and a Flask to-do app. It is meant to help people practice Python by reading and running small, self-contained scripts. The repository is archived, so it no longer accepts new contributions and was last updated in July 2022.
- Clone the repo and run a script such as the random password generator in projects/Random_password_generator
- Study the Flask to-do app in projects/Todo_app as a small web project example
- Look at the image watermark or file-organizing scripts as starting points for your own automation
Great for
- Beginners who want small, concrete Python exercises to read and run
- Students looking for example scripts for common tasks like file handling or emailing from CSV
- People who want to see how small projects are documented with a README template
Not ideal for
- Anyone needing maintained, production-ready tools, since the repository is archived and last pushed in 2022
- Readers looking for a structured course, since the README points to outside resources rather than teaching material

- 3
Get the most out of it
- Read the project READMEs to learn each script's inputs and dependencies
- Try modifying a script, such as changing the password length in the password generator, to see what happens
- Use the README template in the repo as a model if you write your own small project
Downloads
Strengths
- Covers a wide range of small topics, from file handling to web scraping and Flask apps
- Each project is kept in its own folder with a README template for consistency
- MIT license allows reuse and modification
Trade-offs
- Archived and last pushed in July 2022, so some scripts may depend on outdated libraries or sites
- The README does not describe how to run individual projects, so you may need to read each folder's README
