Certainly more than mine Wes! I got a lot of flack on amazon reviews for not putting exercises at the end of each chapter - although in fact there are over 50 "challenges" throughout the text, but you have to read the text to find them! ( That's because I don't like text book style exercises personally...) However one badly missed Python resource that used to help a lot was the Useless Python web site. Alas it seems to have dissappeared fromthe web. The author tried to do a revamp and for some reason version 2 never quite got the support the original site did. But it was a great resource of little mini-projects and challenges for beginners. And of course the Python Challenge game is still on the web, but the challenge there tends to be in figuring out what to do, once yopu get past that you can write the code in about 5 minutes flat! The other problem is you usually need to paste the result back into a webn browser to assess the result!
