Thats the best way to go about it. Python I find is fun because you can just play with the interpreter throwing commands at it and really just working with syntax and usually POC ideas. The most useful ideas usually just come to you. I recieved a pretty barebones MP3 player from my sister for my birthday. I didnt have anything on the lines of file management or playlist management software whatsoever, so I decided to write some custom software (in Tkinter btw) to quickly and efficiently move around songs and playlists with it's basic removable drive format. Its all in what you need, and what you need a 'solution' for. Try not to think of 'ideas' per se, try to think of problems that need solutions.
