Ask HN: Anyone looking for some help writing Python code?

I have about a years experience messing around with Python (built a Django based facebook app, and a few hobby apps), but am relatively new to software engineering. I'm looking to contribute to open source software, and I know the best way is to pick a project of interest on github and contribute to that, but I was really hoping to help out someone who's building something from scratch. Basically looking for a mentor, who I can learn from :) (and I promise to put in the hours and be productive!).

Here's hoping I don't get killed for asking this on HN :)
