luis,

no sales pitch here (or at least none intended), but if you ever come
across a copy of "Core Python Programming," i've put lots of exercises
at the end of every chapter. not all of them are full-scale
applications, but it is good practice writing snippets of code that at
some point may be plugged *into* an application at some point.

best regards, and welcome to Python!
