I used http   codingbat com    A great website that not only takes one answer  like Project Euler  but also checks your code for more robustness by running it through multiple tests  It asks for much broader code than Project Euler  but its also much simpler than most Euler problems  It also has progress graphs which are pretty cool

I always find it easier to learn a language in a specific problem domain  You might try looking at Django and doing the tutorial  This will give you a very light-weight intro to both Python and to a web framework  a very well-documented one  that is 100  Python   Then do something in your field s  of expertise -- graph generation  or whatever -- and tie that into a working framework to see if you got it right  My universe tends to be computational linguistics and there are a number of Python-based toolkits to help get you started  E g  Natural Language Toolkit   Just a thought

Try 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 problem is      Add all the natural numbers below 1000   that are multiples of 3 or 5    This question will probably introduce you to Python for-loops and the range   builtin function in the least   It might lead you to discover list comprehensions  or generator expressions and the sum   builtin function

I found python in 1988 and fell in love with it   Our group at work had been dissolved and we were looking for other jobs on site  so I had a couple of months to play around doing whatever I wanted to   I spent the time profitably learning and using python   I suggest you spend time thinking up and writing utilities and various useful tools   I ve got 200-300 in my python tools library now  can t even remember them all    I learned python from Guido s tutorial  which is a good place to start  a C programmer will feel right at home      python is also a great tool for making models -- physical  math  stochastic  etc   Use numpy and scipy   It also wouldn t hurt to learn some GUI stuff -- I picked up wxPython and learned it  as I had some experience using wxWidgets in C     wxPython has some impressive demo stuff
