Your question is VERY broad, and difficult for anyone who is not knowledgeable of the context/business-climate in Cameroon to answer (and I'm afraid that probably includes most of the people on this list.) Chris' advice is spot on, BUT, and if for any reason you think circumstances in Cameroon would lead to a different answer - then, there are three general areas in which a python developer might be able to earn a bit of coin. 1) Consulting, that is, if you know more about a subject than any OTHER businessman in the area, you may be able to sell answers to problems he/they may be having 2) Web development, python (in combination with web-specific frameworks like django) is a really powerful tool for developing web sites 3) Specific, proprietary, application development, if there is some Cameroon-specific application that other locals like yourself would find so useful they would pay money to have it (or an application some local company would pay you for), you might be in a position to sell it. BUT, please note that all three of these are full of "if", "may", and "might" qualifiers. They are EXTREMELY difficult to slip through. -Bill -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
