When I start introducing Python I use this chart [1]:
Five Dimensions of Python:
- Level 0: core syntax with keywords & punctuation, indentation (import,
if...)
- Level 1: a large set of built-ins (e.g. print)
- Level 2: special names with the double underlines
- Level 3: Standard Library (e.g. math)
- Level 4: 3rd Party Ecosystem (e.g. numpy, pandas, matplotlib)
Here's a Level 2 topic I've been recently working on:

I know, we don't all love those __ribs__ (special names), however that's a
benefit of Free Open Source: you can fork and adapt, take the best ideas,
and leave the rest.
This one is about how implementing __add__ gets you default behavior
for __iadd__ with no extra work, with the option to go on to add your
own __iadd__.

Were I to join the Saturday Morning queue, and share a Lightning Talk at a
Pycon. Fond memories. [1]
This 4 min 38 sec YouTube speaks to teachers in that Venn Diagram where the
set of math teachers and set of Python programmers intersect. edu-sig has
always presumed such an intersection exists, and caters to its members.
