Procedual generated audio-tracks
Nice showcase! I’ve done something similar before. My code is awful but you might be able to get some ideas from it: keygen. What would undoubtedly be useful though, is my midi-abstraction library.

Wanting to learn music theory - How many of you guys play instruments and how important do you find it to learning theory?
I've been playing guitar for 10 ish years. I didn't start learning music theory until I decided I wanted to write software that automatically generates songs (example song). Studying has helped me much more with this program than it has with guitar, but it's made me better at guitar too. Everything I learn, I try to incorporate into this software. It's still in its infancy, but it's really rewarding to work on. Since it generates midi files, you can throw whatever instruments you want at it, which opens up a huge variety of genres it can create (especially if you're willing to get your hands dirty and tune song structure, melody rhythm, etc).

If you guys were able to code anything you wanted to with an application to music theory, what would you guys create?
I wrote midi abstraction (simplifies coding with musical concepts), and used it to make keygen , which procedurally generates music.

I downloaded a midi pack (pop) and really like the sound but none of the labeled progressions have their tonic chord in them. Is there a certain way to structure progressions without the 1 chord?
Yes, use my program keygen

Open Source Music Generation Software
I've opened the source to Keygen, a Python project I've been working on which generates modal music in the form of midi files. I've released it under the BSD 2-Clause License, so feel free to fork, modify, distribute, profit from it, etc. Here is an example of the type of music it creates. A lot of the songs sound similar due to only having an implementation for one style of motif generation, and very basic chord progressions. Pull requests welcome. If anyone would be interested in a particular feature, don't hesitate to let me know, I'll do what I can to implement suggestions.

Are there any good solutions for making a book of songs (with sheet music) in Python?
The abjad library looks really interesting, as it basically gives a Python API for Lilypond. It would help me do all the main features I want. However, from the way it does its Lilypond objects, each song would have to output its own PDF. I don't see how I can use something like PyLaTeX to concatenate all those existing PDFs and make nice hyperlinks and indexes for it all.

Automatic code changing in Python with the ast module
This could be done in many other ways. Indeed this is not even the standard way (that would be coding a 2to3 fixer). The practical solution is not general (for instance, it does not support nested classes). Also, it has problems with comments (as we lose them in the AST). But, for the practical purpose (patching abjad) it was good enough (You can see the result here.
