I can present a recent python project: control software for a modified 
paper cutter (the fancy-shapes kind, not the large-blade kind).

My blog posts cover the early parts of the project:

I can get into the applications of python for driving the parallel port, 
parsing and rasterizing SVG, doing a preprocess on the curves to 
compensate for a hardware problem, etc. The python modules I used are 
Numeric, ScientificPython, twisted, louie, elementtree, and Tkinter.
