How to find a job or internship for a beginner python developer?

Question

Python

15 years in process control systems (programmer). I am 34. I decided to change my profile. I take python/django courses, read books, watch tutorial videos, but I'm not involved in any project. There are difficulties with employment, but so far I have only failed one interview)). Maybe you can tell me how to get experience in real development, maybe someone needs a programmer in the team, money does not matter. I will be glad to any advice.
