1. Look at jobs online, find a city with lots of programming jobs and move within commuting distance of it. 2. Constantly apply for jobs requiring 0-2 years experience. Don't be too fussy at the application stage (you can only judge them when you get to interview stage). Not just Python (you can use your Python portfolio to land a Java or Ruby job for example) 3. Going to interviews will give you experience of what questions are asked and how to best ask them. And also what you should have in your portfolio. 4. If jobs are dry you may have to take a job in another language you desire less. But after 2 years maybe you can jump across to Python. 5. The exact advice will depend on how much in demand you are. If you are beating offers with a stick then you can be fussy about language, location pay etc. If the market is dry then you may have to take anything just to get some coding experience you can leverage later. G'luck!
