Not that few. Anyway, it's not a zero-sum game: you want to work with
Python? Find a job where *you* introduce it. :-)

Wow, same as me. :-) Except, mine were four full-time jobs at four
different companies, and I introduced Python in the first two, in
Italy of all places.

I am glad that I didno't have to introduced Python myself for three
years now, but was instead asked to work with it. Making yourself
known
to the community is fundamental, so I second Michele's comment: invest
some of your time in free/open work, and you'll be much rewarded.

Do you know how to proof-read your writing before hitting send? If
not,
please learn. A spell checker may help. If you do know how, if you
care
so little for what you write that you can't be bothered, why should
any-
one care enough to read what you write? - Steven D'Aprano, October
