You say just for fun, I wonder where is the fun if we start mining with our CPU 24/7 and never mine anything, could you provide some probability estimations on a single block found/time?
Looks to be more of a fun project to learn about Bitcoin mining, rather than doing so seriously. It's an easy way to see what is being hashed and being sent over to the pool. This script isn't particularly optimized, don't think it is multithreaded?

If you want to do so, then there are more optimized CPU miners to use, but even so you shouldn't expect anything at all.
