Ok, so what I'm hearing is "Get a code portfolio together and watch the job board on python.org." Thanks for the advice!
I've been watching the python job board 3-4 times a week and I've been working my way through the Project Euler problems in my free time. I also have a trade generator that I wrote up to support a Traveller game I was running a while back, but that code is old (the first non- trivial program I ever wrote) and really fairly buggy. The user interface is basically an infinite recursion that I sys.exit() out of when I'm through, which means the code slows considerably as you do more stuff in it because each trip back to the main menu is a recursive call to the main() function. Hey, I was young and naive. I'm working on cleaning it up right now. Any other tips? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
