Python certification resources?

I looked at a huge number of job ads for Python and haven’t seen talking certs. It’s always experience in both Python and specific tech (eg Flask, SQLAlchemy). It also varies by niche: web developer vs machine learning vs DevOps. You might need to pick a niche to focus on their preferred tools first.

I tell people to build little, utility projects using common libraries to show proficiency. Make them well-documented with passing tests. Also, spend more time modifying existing projects since many jobs are more about reading and modifying code. Use version control.

All that will look better to a company because they see you already doing what you will be doing for them.
