I just started learning Python and it's sort of fun, though I much prefer mathematics+literature, and some other more fundamental subjects. I'm pretty much alone in life, and I'd rather not be homeless, so I see programming as a way to ensure employability and as a way to free up time to study other things (programming really does seem like an ideal employment opportunity for an intelligent introvert, especially one that can't stand other people, and is transgender). Assuming I focus on it for 5 hours a day, what's a reasonable timescale expectation for employment? (I live near Seattle, and yes, I know that Django is important) >_>

HA HA HA

Not sure if IHBT, but learning to program isn't going to solve these ``problems'' either.

If you really do learn in these 5 hours, and not just fuck around with your interpreter and some codesnippets you found while stealing code, you might be ready for employment in about 3-4 months. Because "knowing" the language itself doesn't replace experience.

Ask Google. They used to do alot with Python, and might still be interested in Python programmers.
and yes, I know that Django is important
What makes you think an overly bloated web framework is important?
