Here are some python scripts I've written for school/fun. Feel free to use/change them and post any that you've made and think are useful.
Solves the X intercepts of a parabola.
from math import *
def quadratic(a,b,c):
   
    #     -b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)
    # x = ---------------------
    #             2a
   
    d=(b*b)-(4*a*c) #discriminant

    if d>0: #2 solutions
        x1=((-b)+sqrt(d))/(2*a)
        x2=((-b)-sqrt(d))/(2*a)
        print "X = %s and X = %s."%(x1,x2)

    elif d==0: #1 solution(vertex)
        x=(-b)/(2*a)
        print "X = %s."%x

    else:
        print "No real solutions."

a=float(raw_input("Enter a:"))
b=float(raw_input("Enter b:"))
c=float(raw_input("Enter c:"))
quadratic(a,b,c)

Factors any integer.
def factor(n):
    for i in range(n):
        if i > 0:
            if n%i == 0:
                if i > n/i:
                    pass
                else:
                    print "%s, %s"%(i,n/i)

n=int(raw_input("Enter a #:"))
factor(n)

Solves the handshake problem with recursion.(There are n people in a room they all shake hands...)
def handshake(n,t):
    if n >= 2:
      handshake(n-1, t + n-1)
    else:
        print(t)

n=int(raw_input("# Of People:"))
handshake(n,0)

I've been using python because I have access to an [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] for it(repl.it) at school and I don't have access to a compiler for any other language.

Nice scripts, I was wondering what you meant when you said you don't have access to any other compiler, why not?

There is a white list that determines which programs we can run on our school computers. And on top of that we have a web filter. In light of those two things I can't run any compiler that is an executable, and I can't go to most web sites, but repl.it happens to not be blocked by the web filter so I use it.

Ahhh gotcha, do you not have access to a computer outside of school that you can install some IDE's, etc, on?

Yes I do; I know/use several other languages it just so happens that python is the language that is most easily accessible to me at school.
