[Tutor] query python mastery via programming exercises

Hello again,

The nearest to that is the Python Challenge 'game' web site.
It presents a series of challenges to be solved in Python. Each
challenge uses a specific feature of Python and the challenges
get harder as you go. If you complete all challenges you will
have a very good knowledge of pyuthon and some of its more
interesting modules.

You will need a basic knowledge of pytho0n to start with, the
official tutor is the best place to go if you altready know other
programming languages.

There is a job listing page on the Python web site. Also some
jobs get posted on Python mailing lists (esp regional ones)
and on the comp.lanmg.python newsgroup.
