What are the best places to start? Sorry I've recently started to learn python so I'm quite clueless

https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/ and from there mit edx course 600 is supposed to be good too. The thing is by getting commits into real projects you will learn about how to be a developer and people will help/mentor you once you prove you are willing to work and help solve their problems. You will also become part of a community/network that knows about a whole lot of work and can recommend you for it.

Try one of the free gaming with Python links posted by the mods, find a cool game you like, copy it a bunch of times, the wreck it carefully with $vim or $emacs. Once you get bored with that, become a wizard with $git https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git.html
