Thanks Ben > _________________________________________________________________ Hi, Ben.
The quick answer to your question is another question: what do you want to do? If you have done the tutorial examples successfully, you probably have the basics of Python down well enough to begin a project of your own right now. So, pick an idea that interests you or a function that you need and start in! When you run into trouble ask for help here. Plenty of people are happy to help out. If you have trouble coming up with an idea for a project, check python.org for existing projects in need of help (anybody know the exact URL?). There are lots of ongoing projects looking for programmers to assist, with tasks ranging from novice to guru skill levels. You should be able to find something that will challenge you without overwhelming you. Good luck!
