Any good programming problems.(for python)

[insane_alien]

I've been glancing over the python programming language recently and i've worked through a few beginners tutorials and i get most of it. i'm just wondering if there are any sites out there with sets of problems along the lines of:

 

write a program to do X.

 

then maybe example answers if you get stuck.

 

i've had a bash at http://www.pythonchallenge.com/ but i can only get to level 2(it's actually the third, it starts counting at zero) where i can get an answer but i don't know what to do with the answer.

 

in other words, its far too hard for me just now.

 

any help would be appreciated especially if you can explain classes to me in teeny weenie words as i can't seem to get my head round them.

if you haven't allready done so, go to whichever IDE you're using and type in 5/2; it's not fun to find that out the hard way

 

i found naughts-and-crosses a good program to write as a practice, but i'm just a beginner so there's no doubt better ideas.
