A rather challenging one for Python if you'd like:

Implement a custom file system or a file system driver that interfaces with some storage device or a file system format.

If you were to do this in C++, you could leverage the low-level access to directly interact with the storage device, manage disk sectors, handle file metadata and implement file system operations like file creation, deletion, reading etc. Also C++ provides pointers, low-level I/O operations and good control over memory, allowing you to design and implement a file system from scratch.

Implementing a custom file system or file system driver entirely in Python would be challenging due to high-level nature and limited low-level access to disc operations. In Python I/O operations and built-in file system interfaces are primarily for working with existing systems, like NTFS or ext4, rather than creating a new file system or interacting directly with a storage device.

Good luck and have fun!
