I worked for quite sometime in IT, for few months I was a fellow to IBM,too. Our institute/lab has close collaboration with Carnegie Mellon or Massachussets Institute, but I ported to Python, and I am the only one in my lab using it others stick to Java. I got wonderful results doing work in Python. So, I was thinking if I could make a career in Python. And it is a room for expert Pythoner/programmers around the world. You are right, Python is seen more as a tool somepeople even find it good scripting language,too. Surely, I'll solve this on my own.
