I'm primarily working as a hardware interface engineer, yet a lot of the code I write at the moment is in Python. . . Why? Because I can write powerful test apps *really* quickly, and nobody really cares what language they're written in (the important thing is whether or not the hardware is doing the right thing, and Python makes it possible to automate both the execution of the tests and the post-analysis of the generated data).

Well, there's two ways to look at that question: 1) Are there many companies with with openings like "we want to hire a Python programmer"? The answer is yes, not a huge number, but there aren't a huge number of Python programmers either. 2) Can using Python make you more marketable as a programmer? Certainly it can. You can often get things done faster in Python than in other languages, and getting things done always helps your marketability. Lots of times the customer just needs to get some task completed, and they don't care whether you use Python or some other language. And using Python can result in such a big productivity gain as to really help you score points with your employer or customer. Python is not a magic bullet and it certainly shouldn't be the only language you know. However, wielded skillfully, it can be a very powerful tool. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
