looking to start a project...

[inkedmn]

i've been coding in python for about 6-7 months now, and i'm getting quite proficient at it. I think i'm ready to tackle something sizeable in python.

here's what i need:

- an idea (because i'm totally uncreative)
- other coders (if i can find any - please let me know)

anybody interested?

An idea: how about some configuration utilities?
I think python is pretty good for that, for example lilo.conf:

You just let it read /etc/lilo.conf, prompt for questions etc and show the current thing. You do need to know how to configure lilo, of course :)

With linux, there are so many things wherefore there aren't configuration utilities - yet. Python might be nice for that.

Or you mailsender (or was it a mailreceiver? yes a mailreceiver IIRC), expand it to a "big" project, with an addressbook, SMTP server & sendmail support for sending mails,...
A userfriendly non-graphical mailsender would be nice :)

Maybe a really slick mp3 'namer'. Based on the dir the mp3s are in it will name them appropriately no matter how skewed the names are.

mp3/nin/

01-nine_inch_nails-hurt_(fix)-apc.mp3
01-nine_inch_nails-something_i_can_never_have-apc.mp3
01-nine_inch_nails-terrible_lie-apc.mp3
02-nine_inch_nails-adrift_and_at_peace-apc.mp3
02-nine_inch_nails-sin-apc.mp3
03-nine_inch_nails-march_of_the_pigs-apc.mp3
Nine_Inch_Nails_-_Closer.mp3*
Nine_Inch_Nails_-_The_Perfect_Drug__Full_Version_.mp3*

Would become:

nin-something_I_can_never_have.mp3
nin-closer.mp3


etc.

still need ideas?

did we ever get back to you on parsing the logs for CCAE?
how about that address book?

[inkedmn]

i haven't done much with the log parser.

and the address book was giving me an ulcer, so i scrapped it (it was poorly designed anyway).

but i would like to get back to the log parser thing, for sure
