Sure, by now maybe you know that Python is a super popular programming language used
BLOG

by everyone from web developers to data scientists to nancial wizards (meaning that once
you learn Python, the doors are wide open as far as your career options in tech). Buuut you
might still be wondering what exactly Python LOOKS like and how it works.
Until you get a look at a programming language in action, it’s hard to understand what it’s all
about. We’ve rounded up over 25 Python code examples to show exactly how Python
functions in the wild. Each of these Python programming examples includes a link to the
source code, so you can test and tweak them to your heart’s content, and maybe even try to
write your own examples based on what you see here.

1. Remove Duplicates Function

Automation is a huuuuge part of Python’s playbook and an equally big part of why
programmers love the language so much. When it comes to programming and web
development (or data science or machine learning or any of the other elds Python is used
for), being able to automate processes that would otherwise take forever to complete by
hand is CRUCIAL.

BLOG
skillcrush
This script, for removing duplicates from lists, is a low-key-yet-totally-on-point Python script
example of how powerful Python’s automating functions can be.
2. Magic 8 Ball
Am I dating myself by saying I loved Magic 8 Balls as a kid? Well, if you no longer have yours
(maybe because, like me, you smashed it to see what that murky liquid was inside), you can
recreate the 8 Ball logic with this classic Python script example!

And if Magic 8 Balls aren’t your thing? You’ll still have a front-row seat to how Python is used
to generate random responses
P.S. you can also tweak this base code to make it serve speci c responses to speci c inputs.
3. Pig Latin Translator

Do ouyay peaksay Igpay Atinlay?
No??
Not a problem. With this Python Pig Latin Translator Script, you’ll be uent in no time. Again,
Python programming examples like this one are fun hints at what’s possible when you learn
Python. Automated Pig Latin translations might seem silly, but you can extend this kind of
scripting to any instance that requires automatic responses to speci c inputs.
4. Use Python to Send Email

As you start working with scripting languages like Python or JavaScript, you’ll realize what an
important role they play in a lot of the web functions we take for granted. Emails are a
perfect example.
Business emails rely on automation. When a user signs up for a product on your site, for
BLOG
skillcrush
instance, you want them to receive a con rmation email…but you DON’T want to be
scheduling and sending each of those emails by hand. Developers use scripting languages
like Python to make that automation happen. Python code examples like this Python script
illustrate how Python can automatically schedule and send those emails so you won’t have
to.
5. Temperature Conversion Program

Is there anything more embarrassing than someone in Europe telling you it’s 32 degrees out,
and not knowing that’s hot not cold? Well, there probably is, but still. Thankfully, we live in
the internet age, where web applications let us convert these kind of numbers at the touch
of a button! Python programming examples, like this temperature conversion program,
show how to script a basic conversion script from Celsius to Fahrenheit (and vice versa),
something you can recreate for automating any kind of system conversion program.
6. Convert KM/H to MPH converter

This Python script example follows the same premise as the temperature conversion
program above, but in this case, it’s a Python script used for converting kilometers per hour
to miles per hour. Compare the two programs so you can get a sense of how to use di erent
methods and inputs to achieve a similar result.
7. Greatest Common Divisor Script

We often say that the tech industry isn’t nearly as math-heavy as outsiders tend to think it is.
Part of that is because most of the heavy computational lifting is done for you by machines.
Still, you DO need to tell machines what to do and how to do before letting them loose. (This
sounds like the start of a classic “robots take over the world” lm…).Python scripts like this
greatest common divisor script are perfect examples of how—once you use Python to give
machines a clear set of instructions—they’ll spit out the computational data you’re looking
for till the end of time.

9. Check Your External IP Address

Needing to know what your external IP address is one of those things that doesn’t come up
everyday…until it does. Here’s a Python script example that shows how easy it is to use
Python for these otherwise tedious kind of tasks.
10. Random Password Generator

Trying to create a website or a mobile app that’s capable of generating random user
passwords? Then this is the Python script for you! Dig into this code and see how to generate
passwords and how you can change the rules to t your own speci c requirements.
11. Username Prompt

Simple (but e ective) Python code examples (like this script for a username prompt) are a
good starting point for building up to more complicated scripts and functions.
12. Grocery Calculator

Here’s a Python script example that shows exactly how useful Python can be for everyday
tasks. Trying to keep track of your grocery budget? There’s a Python script for that! This
grocery calculator uses Python code to track and tally the costs of entered food items.
13. Tweet Search

Ever tried looking for an individual tweet from a Twitter account you follow? Scrolling, and
scrolling, and scrolling, and WHOOPS..accidentally ending up back at the top of the page?
NOT COOL. Let this Python script example makes things easier for you by automating that
search function.
14. Convert to Seconds

Continuing in the vein of PythonTake

conversions, this Python script converts hours into seconds…again, something you can
certainly do by hand, but why would you when you know how to script with Python?

15. Dice Roller

Whether it’s board game or casino night at home and you’re all out of dice, or you just need

a random number generated between 1-6 (or any range you’d like if you tweak the code),
this Python script example has virtual dice rolling on lockdown.
16. Vowel Remover Function

File this one under “Python programming examples that show how slick Python is for
isolating speci c data.” This script identi es all vowels in a eld of text and removes them.
17. Hypnosis Generator

You are getting verrrrry sleeeeepy…no, not because you’re 17 entries deep in this list, but
because you just checked out this Python script example—a hypnotism generator! Yeah, it
sounds like a joke, BUT if you explore this code you’ll see how to use Python to prioritize data
and produce di erent results from the same date pool depending on your parameters.
18. Guessing Game

There are other gami ed Python code examples on this list, but this Python script adds an
extra element. Sure, it generates a random number that the user is asked to guess, but it
also includes a loop that causes the script to repeat itself UNTIL the user actually inputs the
correct number.
19. Fizz Buzz Solution

And over here we have your standard zz buzz solution. Wait, you don’t know what that
means? Neither do I, but that’s not really the point of this Python script example. This script
prints the numbers 1-100, but for multiples of 3 prints “Fizz” instead of the number and for
multiples of 5 prints “buzz.” And that point of THAT is another lesson in Python’s powers of
data isolation and conversion.
20. Color Gradients and Intermediaries

This handy Python script example shows how to use Python to calculate that elusive color

21. Get All Website Links Function
Ever been tasked with nding all the links on a speci c website and started seeing double as
BLOG
skillcrush
you pored over the screen making sure you weren’t missing any? The beauty of scripting
with Python is that you could have just run this Python script example instead, and extracted
each link automatically from the sea of data.
22. Average Score Calculator

This super simple Python script example asks users to input three scores and then promptly
produces the average. Of course, you can add more numbers by adjusting the code (as well
as more complicated mathematical functions), but this gives a sense of Python’s
computational powers.
23. Hangman Game

Oh, Hangman. A game played on the back of many a napkin and kid’s menu during meals
out in my youth. This Python script example breaks down the mechanics of the Hangman
game and turns it into a digital session of guessing variables.
24. Number Reverser

We continue our list with Python programming examples that highlight fun with numbers.
This Python number reverser script will reverse any given number. So, 1234 becomes 4321.
25. Print Odd Numbers in a Given Range

This is another simple case of using Python to automate a task that would be dull and time-
consuming if done manually. Looking for a list of odd numbers in a given range? Simply
execute this Python script example and BOOM! Mission accomplished.
26. Print All Integers That Aren’t Divisible by Either 2 or

3 and Lie between 1 and 50
Ready for Python code examples that get even wilder with their mathematical parameters? If
you’re looking to print all integers that aren’t divisible by either 2 or 3 (AND lie between 1 and
50), well my friend, this is
