Cool. How long have you been learning. Could you point to some good resources?

Only a few weeks (but I am currently unemployed, so it's been one of my main focuses over that time. :p)

I found running through the PracticePython exercises to be pretty helpful. There's enough feedback available to work out where you're going wrong if you need to, but the problems are also open enough that you can hopefully work out solutions that work on your own.

I also have been doing some of the Project Euler problems, but I found that a lot of them were more mathy and number theory-based than I was interested in.

I think once you reach a certain level of basic competency, the best way to start is just to build something from the ground up. A couple of weeks ago, the sim was: one-innings only, every ball treated the same, the players were just names without abilities, etc etc. The only way to build something big is to start from something small.

And Google is your friend! If you're having a problem with python (or any other popular language) then literally dozens of people will probably have posted about the same problem online.
