Start with some simple non-gui apps first. How about a text based
lottery number picker program - you can add a GUI later :)

Writing GUI apps takes a bit of experience - I have done it in other
languages but not Python (yet).

There are several good GUI toolkits TK as mentioned and also wxPython
is worth looking at.
