As far as games go, these would all be nice in python:

nethack, fantasy general, subspace, isometric view RPG engine (like
fallout's), civ, heroes of might and magic.. Okay, that'll do for now,
if you make these I'll think of more :-)

Another nice project would be a useful window manager. There's already
PLWM in python, but it's very basic.
