What are you interested in?
Interested in maths? Write a program to generate prime numbers, or to
search for amicable numbers. Look at Project Euler, although (in my
opinion) the puzzles there are quite hard are require a lot of maths
know-how.
Write a number guessing game. Or Hangman or Battleship.
Try the Python Challenge:

More puzzle sites here, written in other languages but you can solve
them in Python if you like:

Unfortunately, most of them seem to be aimed at people who aren't
newbies. I think the world needs a good set of programming puzzles for
beginners.
Good luck!
