OK, I hope you've been copying out the examples in the books and
changing them to see what happens? Also most tutorials will make
suggestions or provide exercises, have you tried those?

Once you feel confident try the Useless Python website for a whole
bunch
of mini projects and testing excercises. Once you outgrow those, try
searching sourceforge for Python projects and offer to help out
there...

And everytime you find yourself doing something on your PC on
a regular basis consider writing a Python program to do it for you.

That should keep you busy! :-)
Personally I always have a stack of projects and not enough time to
get round to them all...
