Me neither, but then I tend to read the list via the monthly archive pages.

True enough, though it's probably only a sign that the market/scene has
matured to the point that there are at least jobs where Python is a main part
of the role and not some rogue technology you have to hide from the boss.

It could be worse - a lot of activity on Planet Python, for example, seems to
be advertorials and semi-promotional in nature these days. I'll save my rant
about that for another time.

For transparency, I should say that it was me who suggested that Paul send
this job advert to the mailing list. He approached me about the role and I
told him about this mailing list and the Python Job Board. I also warned him
about the possible negative responses he might get posting here and asked him
to provide more information than he might otherwise have done, so it's
gratifying to see that he took my advice.

If the role had been in North West England then I would personally have been
more interested in it, especially if it had been a permanent position. My
rant about the job market in the UK will also have to wait for another time.

I think the feeling is that "posting jobs" should be reserved to
companies directly posting a job or developers looking for one, not to
agencies trying to get developers for their clients.

​Me neither, but I thought it best to offer an advance warning just in case.

Hi Paul,

By posting this note you have, in fact, already informed all relevant
people about your vacancy. This has been known to engender negative
comments in the past. You might also be interested in the Python Software
Foundation's Jobs Board at https://www.python.org/jobs/, and you can enter
your jobs by consulting https://www.python.org/community/jobs/howto/.

regards
 Steve
