Other Ideas
===========

These ideas are from other sources, not from the feedback forms:

* Creating Command Line Tools in Python
* Using Cheese Shop to Share Modules
* Python 3000 Idioms (not migrating to P3K, how should our thinking change). This may be more suited to a presentation than a tutorial.
* Intermediate Python (Iterators, Decorators, other various topics).
* YAML
