What is something productive to do in programming?
I program in Python, and lately have been bored.
Eventually I would like to create applications,
but that involves learning a GUI. For some reason I’m really lazy, and don’t want to learn more pygtk. What can I do to stop this laziness? I really want to start programming some more.
Try C++

A programmer who does not want to learn? Try another vocation or start playing with VB.NET.
same situation happened to me, then I started programming games with VB.net and Flex. It helps me alot then luckily a group of students paid me just to edit their Thesis Project of millionaire’s game. I earned a lot thanks to that programming knowledge =)
