Answer 1

Its not hard to find an idea for projects. You can just take some examples of day-to-day instances and code something on that.
Like, you are having a problem calculating your grocer y everyday. You can make a code on that which will take all items and their prices and will show you the totals at the end.
You can just code out something which will be of great use to you and the community.
Or you can ust google up some ideas, but be sure about the leavel of the project. Only take those which require concepts that you have learnt.
Don't always get stuck in notes and tutorials. Take some codes from the tutorials, play with them, modify them, understand how that works. Will help a lot.

Answer 2

What are you interested in. Think and then start.
If interested in
1)Game: Why not use python engines for making a game. Pygame, kivy. For this move around youtube and after watching a few game you certainly will get a idea. Immediately sit with your note book, sketch out the idea and start coding.
2)App: why not an app. You definitly got the best framworks for making app. Django, kivy. Just sit with those and start with making a Simple Calculator. As pactise is your target.

I will not go further. Because the next thing I was going to say is not something I know much about. But you can do much more. But for practise do the above 2. You will be fine.

Note: pardon me for any miss info. I am new to python it is now 6 month running. But worked with C, C++, C#, java.

Answer 3

Just start making one application you will automaticaly get new new ideas every minute.

For beginners
Try
Todo application
Calculators
Basic utility apps etc

After that
Try to make a more complete package
Like
School,hotel,hospital management systems etc

By now you will get enough confidence..

And you will also feel the urge to learn new languages.

Because learning new languages means new possibilities..

And GitHub is good source for finding great projects.
