I’m at work in a slow moment with only my phone and pydroid, I wanted to see if there was anything I could learn and mess around with while I’m here

Make a plan of what you want to build. Start with the standard library. Google things you don’t know how to do, those libraries will show themselves to you.

Thanks but Im just going to go ahead and do my own thing. Everyone’s very insistent about doing things a certain way in this thread and honestly its unsolicited advice. Not everything is an XY problem :). I’m just going to install my different, unconnected libraries and tinker in peace

That’s like saying “what’s the best ingredients to learn cooking with?”, firstly it all depends on what your want to eat, secondly it doesn’t really matter what the ingredients are to learn cooking skills.

Standard library of course. And collections module too, among the others that come by default. What you need is assignments to solve. Like project euler or hacker rank.

I heard there are quantum computing libraries in Python if that interests you!

If I were you I’d browse PyPi for any packages that look cool.

Flask is a fun framework for making web apis.

Pika is a client for RabbitMQ, if you want to try message queue stuff.

Numpy and sklearn for numerical and machine learning stuff.

Matplotlib for making nice plots of your numerical stuff.

Pytorch for deep learning.

Pillow for image processing.

OpenCV for computer vision.

Pygame for 2D games (maybe a bit old, but I had lots it fun with it when I started learning programming years ago)
