Hello,

I am new to programming. I have no idea of how coding works, except for the "Hello World!" program.

I am thinking of learn programming python by making a family tree project. I would like to create a program which asks users, the person name they want to add being as a father, son, husband, mother, daughter, etc. A program where left pane is to fill out details like name, birth year, and gender. While, the rest of the portion shows a family tree with males in blue and females in pink. I really want all the names being displayed on just one pages, which could be zoomed in/out, and downloaded as a PDF too.

For example: https://www.familyecho.com/

Is it possible to get something done like that?
The gramps project is written in python.
Repository is here: https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps
This is a massive undertaking, and shouldn't be your first crack at python, otherwise you'll probably get frustrated and walk away.
But if you have a lot of stamina and are prepared for a multi-year project, you may want to first sit down, familiarise yourself with gramps operation and code.
