Good fun! A few ideas: How to write decorators, particularly those that take parameters. The differences between the various number types (int, float, complex, Fraction, Decimal) and when you'd want each one. (CPython-specific) The dis.dis() function and what it can tell you about how Python operates These are all topics that have come up with my students; they're advanced enough to be outside the scope of the course itself (the course _uses_ decorators, but doesn't explain how to actually build them), but not beyond the grasp of someone who's mastered Python's fundamentals.
