Try to find small projects to solve with Python instead of using other applications. Hereby my experience:
* solve or just represent a riddle or mathematical question. - Youtube channels called standupmaths and numberphile has some interesting videos about algorithms. Then it's fun trying to build those and see what happens. not only numerical results but also plot it into graphs or create images from it - Every year General Intelligence and Security Service of the Netherlands releases a series of puzzles around Christmas. It's fun to try to create some decrypting tools around it and run them on top of the questions. Can even automatically crawl over some wiki pages to create lists of names for possible answers if you suspect it's a crossword full of encrypted nobel prize winners. - or find some websites with riddles and crosswords or just on hackerrank.com * show headlines of a newspaper in the format you want in a terminal using a rss feedparser * a ubuntu desktop indicator with your favorite stock market price or currency exchange or the time you logged into work in the morning * write your own api or webservice around all info that you learned to gather from multiple places * a IRC bot that put's all the info of other scripts that interest you (RSS, stock market, cpu usage, cheatsheets, python bugs, ...) on your own IRC channel (.get stock_info || .get python_snippets strings) so you can all info in one place * write a part of a rubiks cube algorithm to understand the changing parts to solve a small part * solve a sudoku you had trouble with in the newspaper last week and still bothers you * start using some threading to solve puzzles faster if possible. * send yourself a alert email when some disk is 80% full or when some idol of you tweeted again * just follow this mailing list or stackoverflow (python tags) and try to understand the code examples that pass by ... with just some daily tasks or solving questions, in the end, you learn first some basic functions and algorithms, get some info from a webpage (wiki) or a open api (weather info?), connect a socket to pass data, plot some data on a chart/image, show info in your OS's status bar, write your own api, threading, ...
