Yeah, I was thinking more of the non-obvious ways I guess... Especially 2.5's
ability to send a generator information--it'd be great to see examples of
when this is useful, and where to draw the line between using a generator in
a way that makes code more understandable vs. more obfuscated.

Following up on Chris' comments, I think a "teach me SQLAlchemy" would be
cool.  Instead of "Teach me threading/forking", though, I would do a "Teach
me concurrency", which would basically help people figure out what kinds of
concurrency options are available and how to choose between them--e.g.
threads, processes, greenlets, deferreds, generators, etc.  I guess that is
kind of insanely broad, but it could be neat.
