Python libraries to create user friendly applications such as games, software for their school,
software for their disabled fellow students, and mobile applications, of course to do some of

The students should be sensitized to avoid plagiarism and violations of copyright issues while
working on projects. Teachers should take necessary measures for this. Read a text file line by line and display each word separated by a #.
Read a text file and display the number of vowels/consonants/uppercase/lowercase
characters in the file.
Remove all the lines that contain the character 'a' in a file and write it to another file.
Create a binary file with name and roll number. Search for a given roll number and
display the name, if not found display appropriate message.
Create a binary file with roll number, name and marks. Input a roll number and update
the marks.
Write a random number generator that generates random numbers between 1 and 6
(simulates a dice).
