Here are ten Python projects along with code and possible solutions for your practice.
01. Palindrome Checker:
Description: Write a function that checks if a given string is a palindrome (reads the same backward as forward).
def is_palindrome(s):
s = s.lower().replace(" ", "")
return s == s[::-1]
# Test the function
print(is_palindrome("radar")) # Output: True
print(is_palindrome("hello")) # Output: False02. Word Frequency Counter:
Description: Create a program that takes a text file as input and counts the frequency of each word in the file.
def word_frequency(file_path):
with open(file_path, 'r') as file:
text = file.read().lower()
words = text.split()
word_count = {}
for word in words:
word_count[word] = word_count.get(word, 0) + 1
return word_count
# Test the function
file_path = 'sample.txt'
word_count = word_frequency(file_path)
print(word_count)03. Guess the Number Game:
Description: Develop a simple game where the computer randomly generates a number, and the user tries to guess it.
import random
def guess_the_number():
target_number = random.randint(1, 100)
attempts = 0
while True:
guess = int(input("Guess the number (1–100): "))
attempts += 1
if guess == target_number:
print(f"Congratulations! You guessed the number in {attempts} attempts.")
break
elif guess < target_number:
print("Try a higher number.")
else:
print("Try a lower number.")
# Test the game
guess_the_number()04. Contact Book:
Description: Build a contact management application that allows users to add, view, search, and delete contacts.
class ContactBook:
def __init__(self):
self.contacts = {}
def add_contact(self, name, phone):
self.contacts[name] = phone
def view_contacts(self):
for name, phone in self.contacts.items():
print(f"{name}: {phone}")
def search_contact(self, name):
if name in self.contacts:
return self.contacts[name]
else:
return "Contact not found."
def delete_contact(self, name):
if name in self.contacts:
del self.contacts[name]
print(f"{name} has been deleted from contacts.")
else:
print(f"{name} not found in contacts.")
# Test the ContactBook class
contacts = ContactBook()
contacts.add_contact("John", "1234567890")
contacts.add_contact("Alice", "9876543210")
contacts.view_contacts()
print(contacts.search_contact("John"))
contacts.delete_contact("Alice")
contacts.view_contacts()05. File Encryption/Decryption:
Description: Create a program that encrypts and decrypts a file using a simple encryption algorithm.
def encrypt_file(file_path):
with open(file_path, 'r') as file:
text = file.read()
encrypted_text = ''.join(chr(ord(c) + 1) for c in text)
with open(f'{file_path}.enc', 'w') as encrypted_file:
encrypted_file.write(encrypted_text)
def decrypt_file(encrypted_file_path):
with open(encrypted_file_path, 'r') as encrypted_file:
encrypted_text = encrypted_file.read()
decrypted_text = ''.join(chr(ord(c)-1) for c in encrypted_text)
with open(f'{encrypted_file_path[:-4]}.dec', 'w') as decrypted_file:
decrypted_file.write(decrypted_text)
# Test the encryption and decryption functions
file_path = 'data.txt'
encrypt_file(file_path)
decrypt_file(f'{file_path}.enc')06. Web Scraping and Data Visualization:
Description: Write a script that scrapes data from a website and creates visualizations using libraries like Matplotlib.
(Note: This project may require you to select a specific website for scraping and installing necessary libraries.)
# Example web scraping with BeautifulSoup:
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
url = 'https://example.com'
response = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')
#… extract data from the website and create visualizations with Matplotlib or other libraries.07. Rock, Paper, Scissors Game:
Description: Develop a command-line game where the user plays against the computer in the classic rock-paper-scissors.
import random
def rock_paper_scissors():
choices = ["rock", "paper", "scissors"]
computer_choice = random.choice(choices)
user_choice = input("Enter your choice (rock/paper/scissors): ").lower()
if user_choice not in choices:
print("Invalid choice.")
else:
print(f"Computer chose: {computer_choice}")
if user_choice == computer_choice:
print("It's a tie!")
elif (
(user_choice == "rock" and computer_choice == "scissors") or
(user_choice == "paper" and computer_choice == "rock") or
(user_choice == "scissors" and computer_choice == "paper")
):
print("You win!")
else:
print("Computer wins!")
# Test the game
rock_paper_scissors()08. Weather Forecast Telegram Bot:
Description: Build a Telegram bot that provides weather forecasts for a given location using an API.
(Note: This project may require you to create a Telegram bot and obtain an API key for weather data.)
# Example Telegram bot using the 'python-telegram-bot' library:
from telegram import Update
from telegram.ext import Updater, CommandHandler
def start(update: Update, _) -> None:
update.message.reply_text("Hello! I am your Weather Forecast Bot.")
def weather(update: Update, _) -> None:
location = update.message.text.split()[1]
# Fetch weather data using API and send the forecast back to the user.
update.message.reply_text(f"Weather forecast for {location}: …")
# Set up the bot and handlers
updater = Updater("YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN", use_context=True)
dispatcher = updater.dispatcher
dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler("start", start))
dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler("weather", weather))
# Start the bot
updater.start_polling()
updater.idle()09. URL Status Checker:
Description: Create a script that checks the status codes of a list of URLs to identify broken or inaccessible links.
import requests
def check_url_status(url_list):
for url in url_list:
try:
response = requests.head(url)
status_code = response.status_code
if status_code == 200:
print(f"{url} is accessible.")
else:
print(f"{url} is not accessible. Status code: {status_code}")
except requests.exceptions.RequestException:
print(f"{url} is not accessible.")
# Test the function
urls = ["https://example.com", "https://google.com", "https://nonexistent.com"]
check_url_status(urls)10. Currency Exchange Rate Calculator:
Description: Write a program that fetches exchange rates from an API and calculates currency conversions.
(Note: This project may require you to choose a specific currency exchange rate API.)
import requests
def get_exchange_rate(base_currency, target_currency):
url = f'https://api.example.com/rates?base={base_currency}&symbols={target_currency}'
response = requests.get(url)
data = response.json()
return data['rates'][target_currency]
def currency_converter(amount, base_currency, target_currency):
exchange_rate = get_exchange_rate(base_currency, target_currency)
converted_amount = amount * exchange_rate
return converted_amount
# Test the currency_converter function
amount = 100
base_currency = 'USD'
target_currency = 'EUR'
converted_amount = currency_converter(amount, base_currency, target_currency)
print(f"{amount} {base_currency} is equal to {converted_amount:.2f} {target_currency}")Remember to install any required libraries (e.g., BeautifulSoup, python-telegram-bot) using pip before running the scripts. Happy coding!
