Maybe in the valley. On average, US Python developers make between $35-$50/hr.

  I can't speak to averages. I can only to my own experience here in the midwest. I've had no problem getting $75/hr for ongoing long term projects, and have friends who are in the same boat.

    I'm just going by what I read on indeed and glassdoor. EDIT: Oh, maybe you guys mean contract work or consulting. Yeah OK, but the reason you have to charge so much is all the risk you take on, so that makes sense. I thought maybe it was like, "translated into salary". Most people don't average > $100k a year as a developer, I don't think anyway?

      You are almost certainly correct that the averages employee salary for a Python web dev is sub $100k/yr. My numbers were for contract/freelance hourly rates and all that entails (increased risk, no benefits, higher taxes when working 1099, gaps between clients). I'm assuming that's what OP was asking about since they asked for hourly rates as opposed to yearly salary, but I could be wrong :)
