Is Python programming a marketable skill?

[briancurtin]

thumper is right. i worked for a pretty large investment bank (several locations in london where thumper is at) this past summer, and two summers previous to that and python is pretty big there. i believe it is pretty similar everywhere else. my father works at the same place and has been huge on python for quite a while, and uses it for a ton of things.

ive brought up python in a few of my recent interviews, and while they havent talked about actually using python directly for anything the companies are doing, they have been interested in it. i dont know all that much python, but showing that you know any has been a good for me.

I've noticed a lot more sites (web 2.0 kinda stuff) been written in python now, so maybe web dev and python is a marketable skill.
