I think you mean clinch, not clench :-).

I'd suggest you write a project that uses a sql database, with or without an ORM. While there are plenty of NoSQL databases out there, sql syntax is fairly standard and universal for basic operations, so picking up some knowledge of it will set you apart. Also in a production environment you will almost always have multiple python servers running and feeding into a central database where any request might be received by any server, so thinking about data persistence is important.

Maybe pick up a front end framework and a little javascript, enough so that you can make api calls to rest endpoints. Get your free year of aws and put it up, because learning to deploy to production and get something running is a good experience to talk about.
