If you're really unsure about salary, just ask them "What is the salary range budgeted for this position?". This would be one of my questions to ask at the end of an interview. Given that you have serious Python skills, they may give you a more lucrative offer than you'd expect! Also, if someone really pushes you regarding your salary expectations, just answer "I want to make sure this is the right fit before discussing salary." Since you're fresh out of school, check out sites like http://www.salary.com http://www.salary.com and http://www.payscale.com http://www.payscale.com as well as local job boards. Ask your friends/classmates and anyone with a few years of experience about starting salaries.
