I am new to python and I was thinking that I need some experience writing some programs but I don't know where to start and have no ideas. If there are any projects that a beginner can complete please list them for me. Yes, I already checked google for some ideas but want your opinion on projects that would help me get experience writing python.

How about project euler?
What is Project Euler?
Project Euler is a series of challenging mathematical/computer programming problems that will require more than just mathematical insights to solve. Although mathematics will help you arrive at elegant and efficient methods, the use of a computer and programming skills will be required to solve most problems.
The motivation for starting Project Euler, and its continuation, is to provide a platform for the inquiring mind to delve into unfamiliar areas and learn new concepts in a fun and recreational context.
Who are the problems aimed at?
The intended audience include students for whom the basic curriculum is not feeding their hunger to learn, adults whose background was not primarily mathematics but had an interest in things mathematical, and professionals who want to keep their problem solving and mathematics on the cutting edge.
Can anyone solve the problems?
The problems range in difficulty and for many the experience is inductive chain learning. That is, by solving one problem it will expose you to a new concept that allows you to undertake a previously inaccessible problem. So the determined participant will slowly but surely work his/her way through every problem.

Never heard about this. I'll check it out. Thanks

If you like "learn by doing" check https://www.checkio.org/
Good community, and tasks. You can see how it doing other. And take comments for your solution from the other.

Not sure how much your knowledge extends with python. I found the book "Learn python the hard way" I great tool ... every page is an exercise and gets you thinking. I wrote some simple things off ideas from the exercises . Good Luck

I second 'learn python the hard way' - after you've finished the material the the best way to learn and stay motivated through the next phase is to design a project from the ground up to solve a real world problem . I wrote a linux dvbapi wrapper module to move my satellite dish and autoscan every transponder - simple enough but really embeds the syntax and fundamentals of the language :)
