I'm new to the open source comunnity and I was wondering if there are
any bugs that I can trouble shoot or just some beginner tasks I can be
sent?

Python bugs and patches are tracked at

http://bugs.python.org/

You can always write patches for bugs or review other peoples' patches.

There is talk of a Python Bug Day in the near future.  I suspect it will be
announced here.  A bug day is a virtual exercise where lots of people work
on closing out items on the bug tracker.  People communicate via IRC.
You might check out the links in the core development page:

http://www.python.org/dev/

You can also get involved with open source projects written in Python.
There are plenty:

Twisted
SpamBayes
Matplotlib
SciPy
etc etc etc

Here are some pointers to how you can assist Python:

URL:http://wiki.python.org/moin/Advocacy
URL:http://wiki.python.org/moin/CoreDevelopment

Far more than programming tasks, assistance is always needed in areas
like documentation, bug-report triage, and advocacy coordination.

Thanks for your interest in helping!
