Here are some other ideas:

You can find sample code for project ideas at Useless Python 
(http://uselesspython.com) and the Python Cookbook 
(http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Python/Cookbook/).

Hang out at the python tutor mailing list 
(http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor) and learn from others 
and learn by helping others.

Enjoy your python adventures,
