I would second the recommendation for Django: on LinkedIn, the python jobs postings (there is a Python group there) most often mention Django.
I also would second the recommendation to participate in open source projects. I met a couple of days ago with a college sophomore who is a core contributor to the Cappuccino project(cappuccino.org -- warning: not Python <s>). My employer said, on my relating the pleasant and interesting conversation we had, "he doesn't need to finish college: anyone would hire him." >From a selfish (to you and to me <s>) perspective, may I suggest the pyjamas >(pyjs.org) project and accompanying visual designer >(http://pyjsglade.sourceforge.net), which brings the GWT widgets to Python, >for desktop and web apps. Selfish to me because I'm porting our VFP framework >to there over the next year or so. To you because, well, you've been spoiled >by having the most productive data-oriented software development framework >available, past or present, for maybe as many years as have I (21 at this >point, started with FoxPro 1.0), and that's the end result at which I'm aiming.
