Learning Python: need projects for beginners

Hello EXPERT PROGRAMMERS

I am re-learning python/reinforcing what I know and I have written some simple apps, one is a cgi youtube downloader. I am going to write some stuff for del.icio.us and other API's.

Please post some ideas for some projects that would help me become more comfortable with python. Bonus points for web related/irc related.

Please keep the ideas at the beginner level as I am not an
EXPERT PROGRAMMER

write a library that allows you to to bit-level file input and output

i.e. you can do

file.write(1) and it will write 1 bit
file.write(0) and it will write 0 bit
you can also do neat thigns like create wrappers for these

i.e. create

file.write_one_bit()
file.write_zero_bit()
and then you can do even more cool things like

file.write_random_bit()
make it a very robust library and maybe you can make a PEP.
