Warning: I picked Python over JavaScript for my first real project
My friend said 'just use JavaScript, it's everywhere,' but I spent 3 days stuck on async functions. Anyone have a better first project idea for Python?

Three days on async sounds like my own personal hell, I've been there. JavaScript's event loop is a weird beast to wrestle with when you're starting out. For a first Python project, maybe try building a simple script that renames a bunch of files in a folder or fetches the weather from a public API. Those tasks are straightforward and teach you how to work with your computer and the internet without the callback chaos.

Totally agree, start with file renaming.
