Ask HN: I'm looking for a Python mentor

I have been learning to program for a couple of months outside school using some great online resources including MIT Open CourseWare and the O'Reilly School's Python course. I have a ton of ideas for small and large apps and programs that I would like to develop. While the current courses and tutorials are excellent, I feel that I need more specific and advanced skills for the programs I am creating and I would also like to fast track my Python learning. Therefore I am looking for a Python expert (it would be nice but not required if they had some knowledge around data retrieval and Django) that could help mentor me and fast-track my learning. Basically I am looking for somebody who could answer my questions via email/Skype and point me in the right direction from time to time. The amount of help would of course be down to the individual mentor's time constraints. While I'm not be any means an advanced programmer yet, I would be willing to work extremely hard at improving my skills an
