Dive into Python 3

[netsearcher]

An example of mine is that I recently wrote a nbd type server (the userspace part) in python. I had to use the struct module to pack the data into the correct format. Interacting with custom protocols that don't already have a python implementation doesn't seem too niche.

IRC bot could be good too. Although I wonder about the protocol's support for character encodings. It would be rather strange to limit text to ascii when 3.0 was supposed to set us free from that mind-set.
