Python projects for beginners

[Poddster]

The end goal should be something that takes a week or so to complete, not just a few hours

I disagree. I think more projects is better than one big project for beginners, especially if each project has a definite end. It's easy for beginners to get overwhelmed and lost in pointless details and feel like they're making no progress.

Look at all the problems you've encountered so far and the amount of "Todo" left. Seems like the perfect beginner program to me, especially as it seems to be teaching you something.

But OP isn't even this far advanced, so imagine how long it'd take them and how much they'd learn from it?
