So hey! If it's the one I'm teaching, I'm building it around things that
are as real-worldy as I can get -- I'm thinking a PyMARC and a CSV
application.  I want there to be as short a runway as possible from "we
investigate stuff in class" to "we can actually do real things at work".

I'm happy to see this thread, though, because I may yet tweak the examples
:)  And want real-world projects to point people at for future learning.
