I'm not sure where you get your facts, but unless you define "pure" in a super-narrow way, it's just flat-out wrong. I've been employed doing primarily Python for the past 7+ years. Yes, there's been some SQL involved; yes, I've done code-reviews for somebody else's C# (the nice thing about C-like languages is they all read mostly the same); yes, some of the web apps have required knowing ECMAScript, HTML, XML, CSS, etc. But the day to day is mostly coding in Python. And the several recruiters that have contacted me in the past week or two about additional Python positions seem to think there are pure Python jobs available. Maybe you intended to write "not possible to be a poor Python developer and find gainful employment today" which could surely be the case, as I've met LOTS of programmers (Python and otherwise) that I'd never consider hiring because of their poor skills/understanding of their tools. -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
