Or even try sourceforge.net.

You can search for OpenSource projects that need help and 
filter by language.

Or try UselessPython for a list of programming challenges - some 
of which have not been done yet.

Or try taking the Python Challenge adventure game - each 
step involves solving a problem in Python and the answer
gives you the url for the next challenge.

But best of all is simply to find a task you do often and 
automate it using Python. Maybe its working out tax returns 
or expenses or planning an itinery or a shopping list.
Or maybe you fancy creating a game? Or what about 
synchronising your web site with your PC?

Lots of things, just use your imagination and remember that 
if you can do it manually then Python can probably go at 
least part way to automate it....
