Reading code is fine (and even highly recommanded), but won't
certainly teach you as much as writing it. Pick up whatever project
you want as long as it's complex enough to be more than a toy but
simple enough for a single guy to implement it in a reasonable amount
of time, and go ahead. While implementing it, regularly ask for
advices on comp.lang.python on how to improve your design coding style
(you'll sometime have more answers that you'd want !-). If it's a
Django-based project, post here too for Django-specific stuff.
Lurking on c.l.python and trying to answer other persons questions by
yourself (and reading the expert's answers) might also be a good
idea.
You can also join an open-source project - most shops using Python
will hapilly count participation to an oss project as real-world
experience, while proprietary-language-oriented shops will usually
laugh at you.
As a final note, if you want some "advanced" python code to read,
outside of the already mentionned part of Django, I may suggest
packages like formencode (the 'declarative API' part almost caused my
brain to melt down, and I was already an experienced Python programmer
when I started playing with it), or SQLAlchemy (worth it's weight of
dead neurons too). But don't even try reading these masterpieces
before you're familiar writing descriptors and metaclasses by
yourself !-)
My 2 cents...
