[pydotorg-www] Jobs: Python requirement?

[Aahz]

Chris,

I don't think we should require anything close to "almost everything"
being Python for jobs.  For example, there are many web jobs where
JavaScript forms a large part of the job requirement.  Once you add SQL
and other technologies, even a formally Python job rarely has almost
everything in Python.

>From my POV, as long as Python is at least half the job, it's appropriate
for the Python Job Board.

Thanks,
Aahz
