Are you sure? Since LTS of Debian and Ubuntu lasts 5 years, I suppose
the versions of the packages should overlap at some point in the past.

Strangely -- knowledge of Python was never a consideration in my
history... Having a familiarity with multiple languages, software
engineering principles, and requirements/design analysis were larger
factors.

Python was something I used in support of the primary task, but was not
the end-product itself (for example, an evaluation of various secure
network filtering hardware, by sending serial numbered packets out one NIC,
through the filter, and in through a second NIC; capturing both out&in via
Wireshark; later merging the two captures into a single file of time
delays, and plotting the timing of the packets intended to pass through and
verifying that "classified" contents were blocked or sanitized).

Re: Set tkinter top-level window to "always on visible workspace"

Nice. That worked. FWIW, Tk never gave me the very outermost window as the
parent of the tkinter.Tk instance. Here's the start of hierarchy:

% xwininfo -tree

xwininfo: Please select the window about which you
  would like information by clicking the
  mouse in that window.

xwininfo: Window id: 0x5a0001f "Typing Watcher"

  Root window id: 0x7a2 (the root window) (has no name)
  Parent window id: 0xc73880 (has no name)
 1 child:
 0x5a0001e (has no name): ()  178x126+0+0  +2+43
1 child:
0x5a00020 (has no name): ()  178x126+0+0  +2+43
   5 children:
...

Tk thought 0x5a0001e was the top, but as you can see 0x5a0001f is the named
window. Calling wmctrl using "Typing Watcher" as the target window did the
trick.

Thanks,

I'd say that you need:

programming fundamentals
common tools
Python expertise

As for Python expertise, you are expected to know Python
fundamentals, a fair amount of the standard library, a nice level
of popular fields (data science, web scraping, networking, async, etc)
To specialize in one.

I'd say that contributing to OpenSource helps a lot to sharpen the
sense of knowing what you need exactly!

Python Qualification?

[alister via Python-list]

I'm currently considering a career change (not much choice actually just 
been made redundant).
I'd like to be able to turn my interest in python to my advantage, What 
qualifications do employers look for?
