Read up on code formatting/styling Style your Python as well as your SQL Cleanup field/variable naming (i.e. for db fields I usually name fields: tablename_fieldname cuts a lot of ambiguity) Check your application file structure, everything in one directory works whan starting out but as you increase your skills/apps/libraries you will want to organize your project directories more logically. Looking at some FOSS apps and how they organize things can help. Anything you feel weird about - research look at other examples, stack overflow results usually gives you a variety of examples you can usually spot better methods from bad ones. Help out others a little on forums, get shot down for your crazy methods, figure out why (done this a couple times, stings but it helped, some pros only respond to people posting bad answers) And as other said, write, write, write, the more you write the more you will get a sense you are spinning your wheels on something or some part could be done better.
