Right

now, I just write little IRC bots that basically don't do anything.

I have two questions:

1) What should I start programming (project that takes 1-2 months, not 
very

short term)?


You should make sure you pick something you find interesting.  It can be 
a challenge to work on a long term project that isn't appealing to you 
personally in some way.

2) Whtat are some good open source projects I can start coding for?


I think that Twisted is one of the better projects to work on if you're 
looking to improve your skills.  We have a well-structured development 
process which includes lots of feedback from other developers.  This 
sort of feedback is one of the best ways I know of to improve ones 
development skills.

 These kinds of questions amaze me. Surely you are a kid in a candy shop when
 it comes to things to code?
  The best place to start a project is to scratch an itch: pick something that
 really bugs you, or something that is plain missing, or something that you are
 interested in, and start solving the problem.
  No O/S or Desktop or App is perfect. There are a thousand gaps between all
 those things that need solutions or improvements.

 Find an itch and either:
 1. Find a project in that direction and try to join.
 2. Start your own.

As long it is not another new code editor for Python.  There are a lot
already.

How about writing a web framework instead? [grins  ducks]
