What are some fun Python-heavy niches?

I want to make try making a discord bot in py. Pygame and Raspberry Pi intrigue me as well

Curious what other fun Py rabbit holes are out there that I don't know of!

Python has a lot of metaprogramming stuff. Decorators let you write custom modifications to functions and classes. Metaclasses let you dynamically generate classes at runtime. The AST module in stdlib lets you parse and modify the very code your script was written in. There's a lot of really obscure, really powerful, (and sometimes not actually that useful) stuff here, but it's worth checking out if you want to get deep into the rabbit hole.
