I know this isn't a question about a specific snippet of code or anything, but here goes -

I've been messing around with the idea of learning Python since I'm pretty bored with PHP (and web development in general), but I can't think of any projects to help me learn. I've already worked through some of Project Euler with Python, but it's getting old. I know the basics, and I want to write something more fun that will introduce me to new things in Python.

Is there a cliche beginner project for Python? (for example, PHP's would be a blog or something similiar)

Are there any common Python projects for newcomers, or any uncommon ones that you'd suggest?

Any ideas would help.
