I'd like to disagree to some extend.  While you may be right that
it's less than common to be able to get a job as a Python programmer.  It's
also true that programming skills in general and Python skills in
particular can add value to your resume.

I've been hired a number of times to teach classes in corporations
that had a need for Python skills.  So, there are definitely
companies out there that would view Python programming skills as
valuable.  I suspect that there are others on this list who also
teach Python in a corporate setting.
