What size of a project are you looking to work on? I enjoy learning in a similar way as you it seems. Recently I have been interested in data visualization problems. Maybe trying to replicate something from a website like: <a href="http://www.visualcomplexity.com/vc/">http://www.visualcomplexity.com/vc/</a> would interest you?<br>

Hi guys,<br>
<br>
I'm learning Python by teaching myself, and after going through several tutorials I feel like I've learned the basics. Since I'm not taking a class or anything, I've been doing challenges/programs to reinforce the material and improve my skills. I started out with stuff like "Guess my number" games, hangman, etc. and moved on to making poker and card games to work with classes. For GUIs I created games like minesweeper, and a GUI stock portfolio tracker. I am out of ideas and am looking for programming projects, challenges, or programs that have helped you'll learn. I'm working on the project Euler problems, but I find that they don't really help my programming skills; they are more math focused. Suggestions? What has been useful or interesting to you? I'd also welcome sources of textbook type problems, because the ones provided in tutorials tend to be repetitive.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
