make the leap from reading about Python to doing Python?

Not directly responding to the petition for chat opportunities, but to
making the leap.  What has helped me (started with python at the end of
november) was to find problems and apply python to them.  From a simple
password generator,to massage text files and databases.  Just last week my
colleagues asked me to give them some more info on python as one after
another problem gets solved. If you don't have an immediate problem make
one.  One final idea would be to google "python challenge". One problem
after another to complete a sort of scavenger hunt.
