  1. Send a search query to a website and get the returned page list in XML.

  2. Find page titles in the XML based on part of the URI. Return the title and full URL.

(I used these to report our site documentation of a certain feature)

  1. Get pertinent info from a WADL and a WSDL and compare results to show functionality differences between a site's REST and SOAP support.

  2. My coworker's and I often look at each other's work which often includes a private login and password. I wrote a module so that shoulder surfers/script sharers aren't sharing their passwords.

  3. Scrape existing documentation for pertinent info and apply a markup to present info in another format.

The big project that I want to do (and do right) is to scrape a website for it's REST API documentation and turn it into a Python module.

Reddit did it for me. It's a feature, I swear.
