We are planning for a python hackathon at DGV arts & science college,
chennai.

The students learnt python already.

To make them contribute to Free Software, I had a discussion with HOD,
to conduct a one day hackathon.

There are 40 students and we can give a 50 programs for students to pick
one and do in that 6 hours span.

I have the following list.

1. scrap a flipkart.com and get rate of a given peoduct
2. resize some huge size photos and add some text to all the images.
3. get two dates and calculate the no of days between them.
4. upload images to flickr using flickr api
5. auto mate blog posting using wordpress api
6. analyse a apache log file and get statistics from it.
7. create a solver for crossword puzzles using the given no of words and
few letters
8. Download picture of the day from http://commons.wikimedia.org and make
it as wallpaper or a widget
9. test a website for its availability. send mail to some people, if the
site is down
10. backup all files in /var/www/html and databases and store in a remote
place.

Reply here with more ideas.

Thanks.
