When I start introducing Python I use this chart [1]:

Five Dimensions of Python:


   - Level 0: core syntax with keywords & punctuation, indentation (import,
   if...)
   - Level 1: a large set of built-ins (e.g. print)
   - Level 2: special names with the double underlines
   - Level 3: Standard Library (e.g. math)
   - Level 4: 3rd Party Ecosystem (e.g. numpy, pandas, matplotlib)

Here's a Level 2 topic I've been recently working on:

https://nbviewer.org/github/4dsolutions/m4w/blob/main/gadzooks.ipynb

I know, we don't all love those __ribs__ (special names), however that's a
benefit of Free Open Source: you can fork and adapt, take the best ideas,
and leave the rest.

This one is about how implementing __add__ gets you default behavior
for __iadd__ with no extra work, with the option to go on to add your
own __iadd__.

(Exhibit: some Python teaching in the wild....)
