最近在github上发现了一个有意思的项目，很适合初学者学习python代码。

学习一门语言刚开始的时候是很枯燥的，各种概念语法以及无聊的打印都会让人失去更进一步学习的动力。

很多同学在学习了一段时间之后甚至会怀疑学习语言的用处，因为总是写不出东西，只会写一些简单的打印代码。

这个叫做geekcomputers/Python的项目很好的回答了一个问题，就是学习python可以做什么。

仔细观察里面的例子，我们可以发现写一些简单的python代码就可以做很多有意思的事情，比如

• 批量修改文件的后缀名
• 显示文件的一些信息
• 测试某个文件夹是否存在，不存在就自动创建
• 搜索所有目录下的log文件，并自动压缩归档
• 把所有创建时间超过240天的文件移动到某个文件夹
• 自动发twitter
• 下载最新的漫画
• 下载视频网站的视频
• ……

这些例子的代码都很简单，推荐大家这样学习

• 首先照着这些代码敲一遍
• 让代码可以正确运行
• 为每一行代码写上注释
• 只保留注释，去掉具体代码，看看自己能不能写出来

相信经过一段时间的努力，你应该可以熟练使用python去实现一些简单有趣的功能了。
