Python Study Group

I’m starting a Python study group at work and am looking for ideas. We’ll probably meet weekly and will review Learning Python, by Mark Lutz. Weighing in at 700 pages, however, it hardly seems practical to cover the entire book. Instead, I think it might be more fun to solve small programming puzzles each week.

So hoosgot a list of small programming tasks we can choose from each week? Perhaps something along the lines of Project Euler, but much easier and less Math-focused. Our goal is to learn Python from the ground up, starting with simple programming exercises.

Ideas?
