I grabbed a set of flashcard for Spanish verb conjugations. The guy had put in a lot of work to get them in the most frequent order, over 3000 lines of python. It been a massive help to me and I am not sure that writing the code to generate the list would really have helped my Spanish too much.

I’m pretty sure the others are suggesting that you don’t generate the word list through coding but when you encounter words you don’t know. What helps us remember is context (“I saw that in the Doctor Who episode where the big bad is-“) where a word list doesn’t give that context.
Yes, you can crank through and memorize things without context. It is more painful and less effective overall.
