Here's an example of some of my own quite-functional python code I wrote when I was a couple months into coding: https://github.com/pconerly/Go-Analyzer/blob/master/goa.py (This analyzes .sgf records of Go games and tries to find examples of Joseki in them.) I add more functions (and classes!) than I remembered, but the code quality is still pretty horrible. You can get a lot done with horrible code.
