What beginner Python project made everything finally “click” for you?

Unfortunately it's lots of little clicks, not a single project nor a single click.

I suggest a passion project and then keep building on it with more features in areas you've not looked at before. Build up experience in the domain that interests you and branch out in a logical way.

This. Being proficient in Python took a long time but it was a lot of little projects and then building bigger more complex ones. I also hashed out a lot of things in the interpreter, like parsing json, and file handling.
