I think the remark about C++ just hit a nerve with certain people, and then you're likely to get all sorts of low quality remarks from perpetual bystanders. Returning to your original enquiry, however... Perhaps you would benefit from looking at this page: http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Programmers If you feel that you need more practical experience, the following page has some suggestions, although it's rather focused on people "mucking in" and fixing things around Python rather than pure recreation: http://wiki.python.org/moin/CodingProjectIdeas And the volunteers page is possibly a bit formal for someone just wanting to improve their skills: http://wiki.python.org/moin/VolunteerOpportunities Paul P.S. There's another remark that could be made about the project ideas page, editing practices, and an insufficiently publicised mailing list, but I'll leave that for another time. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
