I think it is a nice idea to have a tutorial . But apart from
the stlye followed by current tutorials which focus on the programming
language itself, I suggest that you make it more pragmatic by giving
programming examples and styles.

Somethings I would like to suggest

1. GUI programming examples in wxPython/TkInter, giving
   examples on using multiple threads in GUI.
2. Database programming examples
3. Architecting OO software using Python
4. Socket programming tutorials

The tutorial could aim for the general/hobbyist programmer in Python
than hard-nosed computer scientists interested more in legalities and
semantics of the language.

Best regards
