Python Jobs
I use Python for my own entertainment and for quick jobs, but haven't been able to use it professionally up to this point. As a former Perl developer and someone that's currently required to code in Java I'm starting to wish I had this opportunity. Can anyone comment on the Python job market? If you're currently employed writing Python apps, I'd be particularly interested in knowing any of the following: - Your location - country, state or city, whatever you care to provide - Your focus - Product Development (web sites/apps), Education, RD/Science, IT/Sys Admin, etc - Your company size - Your compensation relative to the .NET/Java developers you know - generally higher/lower? In my area (Denver, CO) I predominantly see Java positions, followed closely by .NET. I'll occasionally see something pop up related to PHP or Ruby web development but hardly ever Python, so I'm just curious if I'm looking in the wrong places.

I have a liberal arts degree and have been working in the field for years now, not as a programmer but as a high-level technical support engineer (doing core dump analysis and the like). While I opted for not working as a programmer, other co-workers without a CompSci degree have managed to do so without major problems. It seems to me that most managers are willing to hire someone based on his/her experience and proven knowledge, and not so much on the actual degree you have. Obviously, this means you will need to get some experience before moving into actual programming. So, what would I recommend? First of all, make sure you get your foot in the door. Apply for an entry-level position at a company that works in the technology field, even if it's doing technical support or writing documentation. Once you are in, work hard, show an interest in learning programming skills, talk to the developers in the company, survey people around and try to figure out where there is a need that can be met with a not-yet-written application and put it together yourself, then show it to your manager and try to convince him/her to deploy it as an official tool for your team. I've seen this work many times. Second, search around for open source projects that may look interesting to you, download the source code, study it, subscribe to their development mailing list, check out standing bugs and see if you can fix them. This is something you can definitely add to your resume. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Sensible employers asks for programmers that know how to program, not for a piece of paper. For instance, at work here nobody has a CS degree, but still I would say that we have very competent programmers. You need a way to prove that you are a competent programmer. Partecipating to Open Source projects, writing articles about programming or having a technical blog are ways to show your expertise.

For the hiring managers, if the job post said CS Major in the requirements, would you consider a liberal arts major at all? I think in the current economy there are not many entry level positions requiring no experience, except for internships and that sort of thing. Also there are some jobs which really do call for a CS major or someone of equivalent background. Often though, pure technical background doesn't matter as much as inventiveness and the ability to make things happen, which is more a matter of personality than training. I don't know what cross-cultural studies is, but I could imagine assignments (e.g. internationalizing the user interface of a program or web site) where someone with that background could work out fine. Basically I think for pure software development openings, you may be difficult to place, but there's lots of other types of openings where the primary task is something other than programming and yet incidental amounts of programming are involved. For those, you'd have a much better shot. One thing that can certainly help is to have a portfolio of code you've written for personal or academic projects or whatever. Where I work we're in the process of interviewing a guy who is some kind of artist, who has used Python in some pretty cool art projects. He has a bunch of code on his web site that were very helpful in getting an impression of his capabilities. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Landing the first job was very difficult, but it gave me the foundation of experience that allowed me to circumvent the CS-degree or equivalent requirement on every job that I have had since. If you do choose to pursue software development as a career, you'll be shocked at how many of your fellow liberal arts degree holders are doing the same. It will be a hard road. You will have to overcome significant obstacles. You will do boring, tedious work. You will find out what it really means to pay one's dues.

I think that Python is an outstanding foundation for learning programming, but I would advise you to branch out as quickly as possible.

I'd love Python work, just like everyone else here. On a related topic, what's the policy/etiquette of posting a resume on here, or mentioning what kind of work you're looking for?

However, it's our experience that people are more productive when they show up at the office regularly -- the two Seattle people had lots of experience with our product before they worked independently, and the two of them do share an office.

On a related topic, what's the policy/etiquette of posting a resume on here, or mentioning what kind of work you're looking for? I would take absence of such postings, even though you can imagine *lots* of people have had the same idea, as an indication that it is against policy/etiquette. If 1 person does it, we could easily have 10 or 100 a day ;-). And what's the policy in general for most newsgroups and mailing lists? For mainline newsgroups, such as the comp.*, commercial annoucements are generally counter-indicated unless the name (.marketplace) or charter say otherwise. Exceptions would be a low volume of things of direct and narrow interest. So I consider the rare job announcements posted here ok. The same for book announcements. In either case, such are positive news for what is still a minority, just becoming mainstream, language. Terry J. Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Part of the reason the Jobs page hasn't moved to a wiki is that often people sending in job ads are insufficiently technical to handle the formatting. That presumably wouldn't be true for an available developers wiki... -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) * http://www.pythoncraft.com/ The way to build large Python applications is to componentize and loosely-couple the hell out of everything. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
