Hi, I program in Python -- but not at work. There are very few opportunities for Python work in India. As of now, at least. (If somebody else has better information, please correct me.)
A lot of people _do_ use Python, but not many organizations use it. Okay, as an aside, as a computer _science_ graduate, a programming language alone should not decide what career you choose. Nor should you choose a career based on the liking of a particular language alone. And I kinda don't understand this idea of "choosing what's best". How do you define "what is best"? I guess you should do what you like -- and not something that is "in demand". My 2 paisas. :) On 17 Jan 2005 07:09:09 -0800, Mir Nazim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > Here I am once again to give a bit trouble. > > I am at the verge of completing my graduation in computer sciences.
