What do you mean by "meaningful" code? I think that might be your issue.
What I'd recommend is to figure out *what you want to accomplish*. Python is
just a means
to accomplish something, but what matters is the accomplishment. You may want
to write a
GUI desktop app for a specific purpose. You may want to create a web-based
app. You may
want to write code to process information, scrape web sites...create a game,
create some
kind of tool.
Once you decide on that, you will be more focused on what you need to learn.
If, for
example, you need to have persistent storage of information, you then might
want to
read up on databases and perhaps SQLite in Python. Etc. Then you will find
code that
will be applicable to your concerns, and help you learn. I feel that learning
something
"in a vacuum", unrelated to some personal creative goal, just doesn't work well.
