I work at a major (the biggest?) telecom equipment provider. For a couple of years, I've been doing ad-hoc Python scripts (say, 3000+ lines) to interact with network nodes, based on customer requests. So yes, there is room for professional, non-web related Python. I try to push the language for more developments, but it's hard to convince managers. I prefer the tools I make to the standard, corporate fat applications we sell for millions. If anyone is hiring on those skills, I'll be glad to hear offers.
- jfager 17y ago3000+ lines is what you're calling an ad-hoc Python script? Or your sum total output of Python is 3000+ lines?
- gurtwo 17y ago3000 lines per Python package. "Ad hoc is a Latin phrase which means 'for this purpose'. It generally signifies a solution designed for a specific problem or task, non-generalizable, and which cannot be adapted to other purposes." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hoc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hoc No mention to the size of the solution, big or small. The point here is the specificity.
