#33We are looking for someone with Python and strong Teradata SQL knowledge for a contract position in Orlando, FL. Dice.com posting: http://seeker.dice.com/jobsearch/servlet/JobSearch?op=302...
You may want to keep in mind that using "ELT" vs "ETL" (even if that's what order Teradata works in) makes it harder to search for the job on most sites.
FYI -- I was about to apply for this until I noticed the 2-month contract. I'm more junior than what you're looking for but if you dropped the pay & extended the contract a bit I'd definitely be interested.

#34It's interesting that this is sort of self perpetuating, though. I was looking for python developers (I sort of still am; Python + NLP), and literally nothing promising came by. Part of that was being located in Scotland, but still. I changed the job ad to Python + Java and got a ton of recruitment agency spam as I had clearly hit some kind of programming-drone buzzword (not one of the candidates foisted unconsentingly on me looked remotely interesting). As a result I wouldn't hire for either skill again - as other posters in this thread have alluded to, it's more about general ability than specific Python experience, especially as Python isn't too challenging to pick up.

#35My experience is limited (although unusual) and my exposure to the current job market even more so. However, it's my impression that there are very, very few "Python jobs." It's becoming more and more the case that multiple skills are required, and frequently Python is one of them. However, it's common to find that people are looking for "C++ and Python" or "HTML, Python, SQL and framework." We're not hiring at the m…
What would that "something else" be? For instance, would "Python and SQL" be a good combination?
I've seen a fair few jobs for python and GIS, python and finance and python and most types of engineering. I agree that there doesn't seem to many pure python jobs, but lots of industries are using python as their in house language of choice. However they also expect you to have a good working knowledge of the relevant industry as well.

#37There's no such thing as a "Python job." Anyone who can't pick up Python in a week isn't worth hiring, and conversely, being productive in Python isn't proof of technical ability. Unlike with C++, Lisp, or even Java, if I was hiring for a Python shop, I wouldn't stress Python as an important qualification for the position.

#38Lockheed Martin is hiring Python people, last time I checked.
If you're targeting a skill set for your next jump, that seems a bit silly. What is it that you want to do? :)
