Ask HN: Are there Python jobs that don't involve Django?

4 points by ZanyProgrammer ↗ HN
It seems like a lot of Python job listings I see revolve around Django-but is there value in looking for Python jobs and not knowing/having an interest in Django? Obviously there probably are Python jobs that aren't web dev using Django, but I'm wondering if I'm limiting myself by not wanting to dive into Django.

*Im a .Net dev wanting to diversify my skill set.

While Django is the most popular Python framework - it is not the only one. Flask, CherryPy and many others are also widely used, and in fact in many cases - people will have no problem working with someone who didn't have previous experience with Django, but really good at Flask or something else (unless they need a Django-pro, to start working on a running project and there is no time to dig in too much)

Or for the other jobs - Python is often used in Data Analysis and other Data-driven applications. Web scrapping\crawling too (look at http://scrapy.org). You can also find positions related to systems integration that require Python knowledge.
