a hobbyist's dilemma

[John Salerno]

Now that I've learned much of Python, I'm sort of stuck with what to do 
with it. I'm not a professional programmer, so I don't really have a use 
for Python now. But I really want to come up with some neat uses for it 
(for fun, and so I don't just start forgetting it right after I learned it).

I found a few exercises online, but I wonder if anyone has other ideas 
(or exercise websites) that I can use to keep my Python skills going. 
The projects in Dive Into Python are a little too complicated for me 
right now, I think. I kind of like doing functional stuff, because OOP 
still has my mind warped, and I love that Python lets you write programs 
without having to mess with classes.

Anyway, any suggestions are appreciated!
