Probably you can go through a few of the open source projects on github and understand the code flow. You can also contribute to those projects by raising issues and suggesting the fix. Also, there is no harm in solving a problem that is already solved as it will open up your thought process and by looking at the existing solutions, you will be able to map your thought process into the actual Pythonic implementation.
