Building hands-on projects will help you gain practical coding skills. One step at a time, you’ll be putting your theoretical knowledge to use and build an impressive portfolio. If you are an experienced Python Developer, You might have heard as well as searched for this question “What are some python projects for beginners & those at an intermediate skill-level and Which projects should I work on to gain real time experience?” (when you're a beginner) in different communities like GitHub, Reddit or Quora.
In this post, you’ll find example projects with step-by-step instructions, tutorials and source code that’ll take you through building some cool, interesting, unique and real-world Python projects, from scratch.

👉 Crawl Wikipedia Pages with Python
Summary: Learn how to build a basic web-scraping app with python that scrapes Wikipedia pages and follows random links endlessly to simulate a web crawler. You can expand this project into many creative ideas, for example, you can use it to verify links on your websites by crawling all of them and notifying you when a dead link is found.

👉 Python Face Recognition Project
Project Summary: This is a fun intermediate python project. This Face Recognition project detects faces and places a box around it and identifies the face based on those in a given list. It works by analyzing a photo and comparing it to the faces in the list to determine if it’s a match or if it’s an unknown identity. A few python modules are required to download in order to complete this project and have it run properly.

👉 Amazon Price Tracker Project
Summary of this Project: This python project tracks the price of an item on Amazon and emails you when the item has had a reduction in price. It does this by scraping the product information from the web page for the price of the item and compares it to whatever price you choose (The price you’re willing to buy the item for). If the price of the item falls below the value that you set, it sends you an email with the new price as well as the description of the item.

👉 Detecting Fake News with Python
Summary of this Project: In this Project, You will train a dataset of shape 7796×4 on news.csv. You’ll mainly use two things- a TfidfVectorizer and a Passive Aggressive Classifier. A TfidfVectorizer turns a collection of raw documents into a matrix of TF-IDF features. And a Passive Aggressive Classifier is an online learning algorithm that stays passive for a correct classification and becomes aggressive when there’s a miscalculation.
