The irony further underlined by you adding another (and then me too!).

No I also consider it more spam than ham when it is a vague advert
rather than details for a real job. If it doesn't have real details
(precise location, industry, salary in pounds, etc) then it

Hey,
Interesting to hear that, thanks Micaheal.
Can I ask you to clarify one thing you mentioned? My understanding was
that speed of numerical modelling was only of such vital import if you

I work in the financial sector. Python is definately increasing.
Some systems are being written in Python, but that's not its main use.
Certainly not for calculations and financial models, where they normally
have to be very fast.

Richard,
That's quite a reaction you have received on the python-uk mailing list.
I'm interested in Python opportunities in London, could you give me more
details about the positions you are advertising?

Hi,
Not really. Posting jobs is in the description of the list - so it's not
unsolicited.
"This list is to help UK Python users to form a community, arrange events,
advertise help or jobs wanted or sought and generally chat."
Recruiters have been posting since 2001, and only a maximum of a few

There already is a python job board:

The list wil get used for what it ends up getting used for, by which I mean
recruiters are part of the community and will have to decide for themselves
whether they want to post here. But for what it's worth, I personally don't

Obviously not, but I can't see how this is spam.

this post is relevant both in terms of technology and location. Fu

As a recruiter (and a budding Python developer) who has found a few
users of the UK Python List gainful employment, it would be a shame to
lose the ability to post well qualified Python Jobs to users here.
The response to this makes me inclined to not post jobs here for fear
of a roasting.

I don't mind jobs being posted here. Although recruiters could get annoying,

There could also be a dozen posts for the same job if it gets out of hand.

So, if one hears about a Python job role it won't be considered nice of him to

Just asking, no irony intended.

make it more precise.
