Best exercises for beginers to learn?

[Matty Sarro]

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.
Pyschools: http://www.pyschools.com
Project Euler: http://projecteuler.net/
You can also check out: http://learnpythonthehardway.org/index
The exercises are pretty good.
