python for everyday tasks

[koch . mate]

Hello,

I'm about held a short course with the title indicated in the subjects. The 
students are very experienced programmers of our company, with deep knoledge on 
C, C++, C#, Perl and similar languages, but very limited, or absolutely no 
knowledge on python.

what would you teach to such a group in 5x1.5 hours? I'm looking for the most 
interesting, unique topics, emphesizing python's strong points. 

I have already a couple ideas:
 - a general intro about tuples, lists, dicts, sets, and working with these
 - functional programming tools, functools, itertools, lambda, map, filter
 - wsgi, pickle

I'd appreciate a lot if you could add some ideas

thanks, 
Mate

Thank you very much, that's much more detailed than I dared to hope for, it's 
going to be a great help.  :) Since the course will begin in January, I'm just 
starting to prepare, I'm happy to hear any other ideas, comments. 

Thank you all,
Mate
