I need to become motivated to learn Python but I already know C#, Java, and JS. What can Python do they these can't?

Any suggestions for a project I could do to pick it up and shows the outer of Python?

    honestly to me it feels like that language is dying out. not a lot of demand for it.

    @allanx2000 A small Django project might be the thing you are looking for.
    But if you already are familiar with JS I would suggest exploring Node

    Makes you good at finding tabs and spaces.

    It's useful for data science, because a lot of the industry uses it. I'm taking a class in it, so I see that being worthwhile if you want a data science project. Otherwise, stick to applying what you know

    @gnaaah yea that's what I meant by JS, as of a free months ago, I became a full fledged MEAN developer.

    @jorgecastillodp actually the reason is because I got forwarded a position for it... And one of my friends, a Python dev, has been gushing about the language for years.

    Python is great for shell scripting. I use it a fair bit for doing weird things like interacting with a netcat session. It's just so easy to install and use.

    @coderme ah yes that was something I did use it for years ago

    Python is great for writing shell scripts. That's all I use it for. Little portable one off scripts that serve one purpose and I will likely use it from the command line. That's when I use python. No point in compiling something for something that simple.

    For a project which showcases Python's flexibility, look up Hackable (https://github.com/JasonHinds13/...) and SQLmap. The ability to download a database as a binary file and instantly use it from a python web app is impressive.
