How about a program to calculate the phase of the moon. I have seen a C program to do this, Python should be a lot easier, once you know the formula. Google for the formula, do a console version or embellish with some graphics if you want to. Both Tkinter and wxPython allow you to draw on a canvas.

Make a crayon drawing or coloring program for the younger relatives. Python and Tkinter should have all the things you need. I know I have seen a doodle program somewhere, that could be the start.
A note from vegaseat: The wxPython docs and demo download has a doodle program you can build upon.

Some people are indubitably spooked by a Friday falling on the 13th of the month. Write a program to list all the Friday the 13th of a given year.
(Hint: look at modules datetime and calendar)

Write a hex-dump program, where you read a file byte by byte and display the value as a hexadecimal number (base 16). Display about 16 bytes on each row and in a second column next to it show any printable characters, useful for text.

Write a Python function that creates a box outlined by stars/asterisks (*). The function should display a box of x stars width and y stars height.
The next step would be to put some text into the box maintaining the star outline.
The ultimate function should take a text string and auto-outline it with the star box.

Take a list of words like:
and sort the list to show something like:
Now sort the list case insensitive, so it looks more like:
Reverse this sorted list.
Sort the list by the lenght of the word, shortest word first.
Make the words in the list unique, note that Herring and herring are considered the same word.
Just a Python brain teaser, have fun!
list1 = ['Herring', 'used', 'to', 'be', 'abundant', 'in', 'the', 'Atlantic', 'Ocean', 'then', 'herring', 'got', 'overfished']
['Atlantic', 'Herring', 'Ocean', 'abundant', ... ]
Now sort the list case insensitive, so it looks more like:
['abundant', 'Atlantic', 'be', 'got', ... ]
Reverse this sorted list.
Sort the list by the lenght of the word, shortest word first.
Make the words in the list unique, note that Herring and herring are considered the same word.

A small project, but practical. Let's say you have a string of all the abbreviated months of the year:
How can you extract the abbreviated month from that string given the number of the month (eg. 8 = "Aug")?
A later thought, how could you convert the above string to a list like ...
In other words, split the string at the capital letters.
str1 = "JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec"
A later thought, how could you convert the above string to a list like ...
['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec']

Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) is the backbone of a typical web page. Here is a very simple example:
Write a Python function that extracts the url "http://www.google.com" from the HTML code. In other words, extract a substring from a text that is between two given substrings, here "=" and ">".
html Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
