I’d take on a project that benefits from using C over Python. Maybe port something old and valuable to a module with tests and whatnot in comfortable Python. On the Java side where I live you can also compile native modules without much fuss. I suggest this because it adds new to something familiar. One thing I would not do is focus on making the first project maintainable etc or you’ll never get out the gate... stitch it together and redo it. Really 2 different programmers would be doing it, so no harm no foul. Read documentation like it’s a good book... if it’s boring or not good then you’re not engaged enough so pick another project—supporting the disposable idea. Good endeavors grow legs.
