Steve,

There's a better than 50% chance that I will be taking your Python 401 tutorial, and would like to offer an idea / suggestion.

It would be helpful *to me* if you could include examples of the coding patterns that these 'advanced' techniques replace / simplify. (In other words, I may understand what a generator _does_ - but I may not recognize all the appropriate contexts in which they may be used to my advantage. It would help me to see some 'typical' / 'pedestrian' Python code, and have you say "take _this_ out, replace it with _that_, and now your code is [shorter | cleaner | faster | more easily maintained])

I _know_ this may be coming rather late in the short time you have to prepare and you only have 3 hours to fit everything in, so if it doesn't fit, I understand.
