Most maintainers of open source software will gratefully accept
patches from anybody of any skill level (after proper review), though
there's always the possibility that a patch will be politely rejected
(if it's rejected impolitely, that's their problem, not yours).  The
choice of project to contribute to is really up to you.  Pick one that
you like and know fairly well, and preferably make a contribution that
will make some difference to you and your use of the project.

And if you can't find a PyPI project you'd like to contribute to, you
could always give a shot to working on CPython itself -- see
https://docs.python.org/devguide/ for a guide to getting started with
that.
