Python, my first program

I picked up Python and build my first program in 2018. An online tutorial called Learn Python the Hard Way led the way. This contained 40 or so exercises about programming basics. Below you will find different short projects I have made in python. Some have real world applicability, others are just learning projects.

Python Console Projects

These console projects were inspired by working through "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" by Al Sweitgart

Project Description Code
collatzSequence.py Simple collatz sequence program. Enter an integer as input Program will then output integers based on odd or even If odd, the output is 3 * (odd number) + 1 If even, the output is (even number) // 2
This output will continue until the program reaches the integer: 1		 Source Code
xkcdWebScraper.py XKCD web scraper will use multithreading to download 2200 XKCD comics using 22 threads Saves all comic pages to the local directory.
uses modules: requests, os, bs4, threading		 Source Code
logifyApp.py logifyApp requires a logo.png image in the working director Add images to the working directory to be modified to the existing image Suggest using image copies into the working directory to avoid original image loss logo.png is added to the lower right corner
Uses PIL module		 Source Code
countdownAudio.py Simple countdown program asks an integer from the user. The program counts down from integer and then plays "finalCountdown.WAV" within python using the pyaudio module. Requires separate download of finalCountdown.WAV for full functionality. Obviously changing audio file in local path will allow other .WAV files to play after countdown
Uses time, subprocess, playsound, wave, pyaudio		 Source Code
duesApp.py duesApp takes data from the duesRecords excel file. Parces out which cells are 'unpaid' and then sends an email notifying the name of the date/cell where there is a payment due. Requires user input of email and password. App is scalable to the excel workbook
Uses Modules: openpyxl, smtplib, sys, datetime includes commented out code from failed attempts		 Source Code
guessMyNumber.py Simple guess my number game. Contains an troubleshooting number input: "99" Minor ascii interface for a more interactive experience
Also, a little Beyonce thrown in too		 Source Code
invitationCreator.py invitationCreator will create individual invitations into a single Word document. Pulls names from the "names.txt" file and then imports that data into a new word document page. In this instance 20 names will create 20 separate invitations with a png picture. Download all assets to run the program without errors
Uses the docx module		 Source Code
multiplicationTableCreator.py multiplicationTableCreator creates a new excel workbook with the multiplication table set by the argv value For example: python multiplicationTableCreator.py 10 # user enters input for new file name # creates an excel document with the new file name containing a 10 by 10 multiplication table
Uses modules: import sys, openpyxl		 Source Code
pwLocker.py This is an unsecure python script designed to take passwords from code and copy that password to the clipboard. Reccomend securing the program before entering any sensitie information for automation Uses the following modules: sys pyperclip When running the program, enter the type of password you want to copy
For example: python pwLocker.py email # this will copy: "pw_for_email" # to the clipboard		 Source Code
pwValidation.py Python password authentication function Password entered must meet the following parameters: 8 chars long one uppercase char one digit one special char (!, ?, #, @. %) Prints validation requirements if any requirement is missing
Program uses regex for validation		 Source Code
songQuizGenerator.py Song quiz generator will generate 5 different quizzes based on matching the song with the artist with 50 different multiple choice questions and save them as a songQuiz#.txt file and the number will increment with each quiz Source Code
justTextMeSomeWeather.py justTextMeSomeWeather uses Twilio and requires a twilio accountSID, authToken and OpenWeatherMan API key to function properly. Input Twilio and openweatherman api data and then use sys argv with your desired zip code for example: python justTextMeSomeWeather.py 72653 # follow user inputs for which phone number to send to # sends weather data to the desired phone number
uses the following modules: json, requests, sys, time, math 		Source Code
toDoList.py Simple to do list program. Program asks the user for a task, appends the task to a list and will keep asking until the user enters "done"
Prints the list to the console upon completion		 Source Code
weatherAPI.py WeatherAPI requires an API key from openweathermap for full functionality (obviously not provided for Git Publishing) Contains wind direction function, formats degrees to cardinal direction Uses sys argv for city location, for example: python weatherAPI.py 93446 #will pull weather data for the Northern San Luis Obispo County
Uses modules: json, requests, sys, time, math		 Source Code
zipBackUp.py zipBackUp program will take user input to identify the file to backup and then create a new compressed file into a new backup folder First verifies if there is an existing backup folder from local directory Then asks for the filename in local directory Increments filename if more than one backup copy has been made (for larger projects) in local directory Saves zipfile to local directory backup folder
uses the following modules: zipfile, os, shutil, pathlib		 Source Code
