I started to lern programming in python simply by PROGRAMMING IN PYTHON. 
I had some things I wanted to be done by a script and I just started to 
write my script. When I had any difficulties I tried to find the 
solution in books or somewhere in the internet.
May be you should simply start to write more complex scripts or think 
about which special direction you are interested in. Websites? 
Networking (Windows or Linux or..?)? Something else?
