					<description>Well, perhaps you could write a planning table (for resource planning or scheduling), maybe with pysqlite. Building the GUI, working with the database, input/output, printing, a calender module, collision detection,  ... - a lot of interesting stuff for a (beginner's ?) tutorial.</description>

					<description>Perhaps you could do something cool with Cairo? http://www.cairographics.org/</description>

					<description>What about yaml, an emerging replacement for xml (for which I see the main advantage, that it is far more readable). We use it for storing characters for a roleplaying module (which as of now delivers a simulator for battles with a few thousand fighters), and it makes it a joy to edit characters in any texteditor. http://yaml.org/

Or about Version tracking with Mercurial, a distributed Source Code Management tool in python. http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/

I use both for the rpg tools for my own ruleset: 1d6. Code statistics: http://www.ohloh.net/projects/7065

At ohloh, which might also be itneresting.</description>

					<description>Hi,

You may want to take a look at the MDP toolbox (Modular Toolkit for Data Processing, http://mdp-toolkit.sourceforge.net/) written completely in Python. It is a framework which eases data processing by seperating it into modules which are then composed into flows. 

It includes several algorithms coming mainly from the field of computational neuroscience (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_neuroscience), such as Independent Component Analysis, Slow Feature Analysis, Growing Neural Gas. This article http://compbiol.plosjournals.org/perlserv/?request=get-document&amp;#38;doi=10.1371/journal.pcbi.0030166 shows for example how such analyses can be used to model navigation in rats.

There is more to come, so please stay tuned!</description>

					<description>Ok, that one's not too funky, but I think it's worth knowing about: lxml.

If XML has always been painful, that's over with lxml. The new ElementTree API in the Python standard library already is a huge step forwards. And lxml now takes this simple API one step further, adding the full power of libxml/libxslt. I definitely love it!</description>
