The ACM has a set of computing challenges. They are mainly math based
though so you might not like them. There are those plus many others on
the Useless Python web site - Recently relaunched - and go to the
old site because the new one is trying to start afresh so has
relatively
few items just now. (BTW Does anyone know how to submit a challenge
as opposed to a solution?!)

But the best challenges are the ones you find yourself. Any job you
do regularly omn the computer, or any job that requires a lot of
repetition should be a candidate for writing a propgram to automate.
