Key Python Technologies You Should Know

The idea of this talk is to highlight some of the cross-domain technologies that a programmer would find useful in his toolbelt as he moves among problems or job positions.

criteria for inclusion in talk:
- cross-platform
- cross-domain
- of general use, not obscure or a niche
optparse (something many projects use, or should use, for positional and keyword arguments, plus with instant --help documentation, --version display and more)
docutils.reST (restructured text appears in so many areas of the Python community: docstrings, READMEs, page templates, wiki markup, doctests)
interfaces/adapters
eggs (an up-and-coming key technology)
unit test frameworks (Python is strong in this area)
DB-API?
