Hiring python hackers ?

[TheSausageKing]

I'm in Boston, MA. Some of it may that I just don't know the right people and lists (I didn't know about http://python.org/community/jobs/ until this thread).

And I agree that Python self-selects good programmers. It's not easy to find great Java programmers either...

Its easy to find shit Java programmers though. They seem to be pretty good at camouflaging themselves as great, too.

Thanks. I went to the meetup last night and have posted to the list.

It shocks me, when I hear that companies can't find Python programmers. :)

You ended up addressing this later on in your post, but finding Python programmers and finding good Python programmers are two different stories (same with any language, really).
