You can keep working at your own pace, and that's good. But even better, I would strongly recommend that you work with other people early and frequently. Programming is fundamentally a process of collaboration and communication with other human programmers. The habits you form alone can be eccentric and unhelpful, with no-one to comment on strange habits you may be forming without even noticing until they are too deeply entrenched to easily avoid. Working frequently with others on the same code base will not only flush out these oddities, but also help you to appreciate the consensus decisions made in the past by the Python community as a whole. So, while it's not essential, I would heartily encourage you to pick some of the PyPI projects you are enjoying, or want to improve, and contact their maintainers with your offer to fix specific things. Work with other Python programmers on a common code base, and watch your skills broaden and improve! -- \ “For man, as for flower and beast and bird, the supreme triumph | `\ is to be most vividly, most perfectly alive” —D.H.
