Twisted seems like a good option. Here is a good question on stackoverflow with some comments: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/117561/what-are-good-open-source-projects-in-python-for-which-i-can-be-a-contributor http://stackoverflow.com/questions/117561/what-are-good-open... Although, you should try to find something you have a personal interest in as well.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY "First, Twisted should be fun. It began as a game, it is being used commercially in games, and it will be, I hope, an interactive and entertaining experience for the end-user." "Twisted is a platform for developing internet applications...Twisted is a good (if somewhat idiosyncratic) pure-python framework or library, depending on how you treat it, and it continues to improve." "As a platform, Twisted should be focused on integration. Ideally, all functionality will be accessible through all protocols. Failing that, all functionality should be configurable through at least one protocol, with a seamless and consistent user-interface." - http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/vision.html http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/vision... SUCCESS STORIES "Lucasfilm has used Twisted in its business-critical production processes since 2004...We use Twisted to proxy database connections for our render farm, which runs 24/7/365." "Justin.tv is the largest live video site on the internet. We allow anyone to broadcast live video from their PC and chat with viewers. Every second of every broadcast is archived so it can later be browsed, searched, or made into highlight clips. Each of Justin.tv's half a billion monthly pageviews passes through a custom Twisted caching engine." http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/SuccessStories http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/SuccessStories

Twisted is kind of notorious for being difficult to pick up and use, even for experienced Python programmers..

  Twisted has always seemed like its own ideology altogether. Not that this is inherently bad per se, just that it might make approaching it a little more difficult.
