Good luck with your search, but I wouldn't be too hopeful. IMHO, there
shouldn't be any such thing as a "Python programmer". Python is a great
third language for a C++, Java, etc. programmer. But for that to be a
primary language for a programmer would be scary (for both their career,
and for their understanding of their field). You might be able to get a
non-programmer, like a SysAdmin who learned Python in order to write
powerful admin scripts.

Note: I am not running-down Python. I like it (for some tasks), and
have used it to write web apps (Poor Man's Zope), and CORBA networking
software (w/omniORBpy).
