In Python libraries and modules are nearly the same. Libraries are a 
concept in Python which are realized using modules (or packages).

In other languages libraries are the reality and modules are the logical 
concept.

And in still other languages you have modules and libraries where 
libraries are (usually binary) files containing several code modules.

Some day computing science will get around to making its language 
consistent!

Danny suggested a project or the Python challenge.
I'd agree with those two suggestions, and personally I'd
favour a project. It doesn't matter what it is - don't be too
ambitious, but something bigger than a single file of code.
