Find a project that you already use or that you like that supports plugins. Write one plugin and learn by looking at other plugins. On the top of my head: deluge (bittorrent client) emesene (MSN client) XBMC (media center) If you're a Gnome user, most applications support Python plugin (Nautilus, GEdit, ...) Shameless plug on my part, you could make a plugin for my open source project called periscope. It downloads video subtitles from various websites http://code.google.com/p/periscope/ http://code.google.com/p/periscope/
