For a school project I need to make a simple python program. I need ideas so if you have something that you want made for you then please post it here. I'll release it here under a gnu general public license once I've finished.

You can build an RSS scraper that posts news from multiple sources to Lemmy. RSS is very well documented and you can use pythorhead to interact with Lemmy.

Alternately, you can scrape data from a currency exchange site and live display their data on your GUI. Trying to scrape sites teaches you a lot of things about how to approach it. You can make use of beautifulsoup library to sort out from the whole site.
