While there are (more and more) professional programmers using Python, either as their main language or not, there's no such thing as a "professional Python programmer", because being a proofessional programmer requires much more than knowing one programming language. > unfortunately I'm > working on technical support and don't have the time/patience to start > making projects my self.

But it doesn't necessarily has to be "professional" experience - being a contributor to a serious OSS project is nowadays considered as valid experience by some shops. > and you can't > really start as a beginner.. Yes you can - obviously, everyone has to start somewhere !-) But being a beginner doesn't mean having strictly no experience - just that you didn't get paid so far. > I'm planning to save some money and attend a course in any of the > universities that teach hard core Python. > > Does some one have any suggestions on which University to attend ? > Alternatives solutions are welcome.. Don't focus on Python. The important part is to learn programming - once you'll be there, learning Python by yourself won't be a problem. And I second Paul Rubin's advice: avoid universities teaching Java as the main language. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
