What do you mean by "meaningful" code? I think that might be your issue. <br>
<br>
What I'd recommend is to figure out *what you want to accomplish*. Python is just a means<br>
to accomplish something, but what matters is the accomplishment. You may want to write a <br>
GUI desktop app for a specific purpose. You may want to create a web-based app. You may<br>
want to write code to process information, scrape web sites...create a game, create some<br>
kind of tool. <br>
<br>
Once you decide on that, you will be more focused on what you need to learn. If, for<br>
example, you need to have persistent storage of information, you then might want to<br>
read up on databases and perhaps SQLite in Python. Etc. Then you will find code that<br>
will be applicable to your concerns, and help you learn. I feel that learning something <br>
"in a vacuum", unrelated to some personal creative goal, just doesn't work well.<br>
