This is a common question here; you might want to look at some previous answers: http://search.gmane.org/?query=project+ideas&group=gmane.comp.python.tutor You might look for a Python project at Google Code or SourceForge that interests you and work on that: http://code.google.com/hosting/search?q=label%3aPython http://sourceforge.net/search/?type_of_search=soft&type_of_search=soft&words=python If you are in high school you might like to participate in the Google Highly Open Participation Contest: http://code.google.com/p/google-highly-open-participation-psf/ Even if you are not in high school, the list of GHOP Python tasks shows you some projects that are actively looking for help: http://code.google.com/p/google-highly-open-participation-psf/issues/list Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
