As for Italy I would say that Java PHP and NET are the most requested positions, half of which I would personally discard because I know I would end up doing something "not funny". Python covers a quite relatively small niche. In my city I'm aware of only 4 companies which actively work with Python, mine included. --- Giampaolo http://code.google.com/p/pyftpdlib http://code.google.com/p/psutil 2010/6/9 Michael Chambliss <email(a)mchambliss.com>: > I use Python for my own entertainment and for quick jobs, but haven't been > able to use it professionally up to this point.

Development there is a mix of C# and Python. I've also got a few other side projects using Django with smaller organizations. > - Your compensation relative to the .NET/Java developers you know - > generally higher/lower? About the same, for an average .Net/Java developer (but there are a lot more .Net/Java developers for whom I wouldn't consider their dev skills worth the paper their certification is written on, yet they're paid well and incorporated into those averages) However, my job enjoyment anecdotally seems MUCH higher (faster development, no extra "compile" step, the language is more beautiful & pleasant to use/read, language culture, etc) -tkc
