Hi Eric, Somas1.
Try:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?source=ig&hl=en&q=beginners+programming-problems&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

Some of the sites have beginners problems meant for
another language, but in a lot of cases that doesn't
matter.

You might need to be a fair way through the Python
tutorial though before you attempt thhem so you
know the basics of Python first.

On a different tack, from:

It seems you need to learn how to write a Fizz-Buzz
program to get a job now-a-days :-)
