Feel free to check out Useless Python for lots of ideas on first
projects. But my general advice is to play with Python a bit and piece
together something small. If you can use Python to read/write from a
file, do something randomly, get user input and print to the screen, and
use a list or dictionary, you might be surprised at what you can do in a
few lines of code.

Start playing with any idea that entertains you, and post a question to
the Python Tutor email list
(http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor) when you get stumped on
something.

enjoy,
Rob
