I agree completely with Seebs, however I will mention that until you find a project that tickles your fancy there are some good places to find exercises.<br>Pyschools: <a href="http://www.pyschools.com">http://www.pyschools.com</a><br>
Project Euler: <a href="http://projecteuler.net/">http://projecteuler.net/</a><br>You can also check out: <a href="http://learnpythonthehardway.org/index">http://learnpythonthehardway.org/index</a><br>The exercises are pretty good.<br>

*Write something you want to use.*<br>
<br>
Nothing will teach you programming as fast as programming stuff you care<br>
about for the joy of having it. Exercises that you don't care about in<br>
their own right will not catch you the same way.<br>
<br>
If you write something you want to have, you will not stop when it<br>
happens to work, but will keep tweaking it and improving it so it does<br>
what you want. That will teach you more than *any* prefab exercise that<br>
has no particular significance to you.<br>
