What does completed Python script look like?

Where can I find a completed script of Python code (for like a functioning app or something)? I know none of it would make sense to me right now. However, I feel like getting a glimpse of what Iā€™m working towards would help me understand the steps along the way better.

You can find tons of code snippets and demo apps for python, ranging from simple beginner programs to complex API tools. Here are some quick examples.

# Temp Converter - pythonfiddle.com/temperature-convert-program/
Celsius = int(raw_input("Enter a temperature in Celsius: "))

Fahrenheit = 9.0/5.0 * Celsius + 32

print "Temperature:", Celsius, "Celsius = ", Fahrenheit, " F"

# Pig Latin Translator - pythonfiddle.com/pig-latin-translator-for-python/

#Take the users input
words = raw_input("Enter some text to translate to pig latin: ")
print "You entered: ", words

#Now I need to break apart the words into a list
words = words.split(' ')

#Now words is a list, so I can manipulate each one usinga loop

for i in words:
    if len(i) >= 3: #I only want to translate words greater than 3 characters
        i = i + "%say" % (i[0]) 
        i = i[1:]
        print i
    else:
        pass

There are also some good intermediate examples like Python Tweet Search and a Python Hangman Game.

You can find many more on the Python for Beginners code examples page.

Hopefully that helps. Good luck, and happy coding!
