That's a good split. There's Python applications (within science, the web,
etc, which can be different tracks), and there's Python's political/cultural
aspects (python in an organization, how to use Python's strengths, what
to watch out for, how to get Python accepted, etc).

Then there's also 'cool Python technologies', which could be a presentation
on the ZODB, on the Psyco specializing compiler, Jython, microthreads and
so on. Sometimes that's better in tutorial form, sometimes it's better to do
a presentation; it depends on how mature the topic area is among others.
