This comment is off-topic, but should be helpful for the OP. If you don't upvote it, it'll sink to the bottom where it rightfully belongs (edit - so much for that...)

Hey johnwall, you're in a good city to be a python web developer. First off, you should check these two urls on a regular basis:

http://www.indeed.com/q-python-l-Washington-DC-jobs.html

http://www.indeed.com/q-django-l-Washington-DC-jobs.html

Second, here's a list of companies that are looking are have looked in the past for Python developers. The included links may not have a Python job posted anymore, but I recommend cold-calling/emailing each of them and see what happens. I'll leave obtaining the proper phone numbers / emails to you :)

C++/Linux, Looking for onsite in NYC/NJ. I am on H1B visa.

This site may be helpful for the OP: http://www.maxmasnick.com/guides/jobs/

A fellow HNer compiled that list two weeks ago. It looks to be a fairly comprehensive listing of job listings. While it was compiled with employers in mind, it is also a good source for finding job listings that aren't your usual Monster/Dice/Stack Overflow. There are quite a few on that list which were new to me.

As a shameless plug, my email newsletter sends out weekly interviews with startups who are hiring developers, designers and product leads. You can find it here: http://startupfrontier.com

Hi I'm a freelance iOS developer in San Francisco. I can provide 40+ hrs/week. You can learn more about me at http://casselmanconsulting.com.

I'm Saku, student and self-taught iOS/Ruby on Rails developer and 3D graphics programmer looking for a summer job July-September this year. I live near London, but I'm willing to travel if you help with a visa. (I speak decent German and a little bit of French, willing to learn more.)

Dan, 25, Berlin. Python, Java, Linux (Bash). I like web apps, writing spiders, and data mining. Happy anywhere in Europe or Australia.

Great idea, but may I make a suggestion: can anybody who's looking for work make sure that they post contact information either in their response or on their HN profile? There are already several respondents on here that I would be interested in interviewing, but I don't want to clutter up the thread with "Hi! I'm interested in you" responses to each and every one.

Michael, PHP/JS/MySQL/MongoDB backend and frontend developer. Lives in Northwest Arkansas, would like to stay here but will do remote work.

OP: You should probably add your own comment where you state what you're looking for. Your ad for employment kind of has an unfair advantage over everyone else who posts one.

That said, I think this is a good idea. The "Who is Hiring?" thread seems to be the same companies posting over and over. Here, those companies can pick out who they like and directly recruit them.

Remote only.

Golang, python, objective-c, full web stack. Always looking for gigs of any kind. 20+ years of experience doing front-end, back-end, database design and lately mobile apps for the enterprise.

Email in profile.

I'm Aniket Pant and I am looking for some Codeigniter related development work. I live in Goa but I would be ready for remote work.

I'm Susan Stewart...

Looking for part-time work to supplement my income while I launch a project of my own.

Remote/anywhere or on-site/Indianapolis

I've got 8 years experience as a Drupal dev and Drupal trainer, and am a co-author of The Definitive Guide to Drupal 7.

Lately I've become interested in Python web development with Pyramid. My own project is being built this way, so I'm coming up to speed fast.

My other strength is community geekery -- I've done some speaking on things like hacker culture, creating a thriving developer community, and motivating users. Until recently, I worked as a Community Manager over at Stack Exchange/Stack Overflow.

I'm Dylan, I'm a college Sophomore working towards a Comp. Sci degree.

I'd love a summer internship working at (ideally) a fun, fast-paced startup, but am open to any other possibilities.

Based in Massachusetts but would love to escape for a summer; spent Summer 2011 in Palo Alto working with a team of 3 on an awesome project, and had a blast.

My recent jobs have been Javascript-focused, but I'm a quick learner. Extensive front-end web dev experience, as well as various dabblings in Python, PHP, etc, and most recently taking a shot at learning RoR.

I'm Binny Zupnick, 17, in college, http://bzupnick.com

Okay I'll play. My name is Martin and I currently live in Denmark while working on (and make a living off of) my own projects. I recently got invited to stay with a friend in Hong Kong and I've absolutely fallen in love with the city. At this point I'm willing to let other people take care of my current projects and instead get a job so I can move to Hong Kong.

Background: Standard hacker-type story, no degree, some education but dropped out. Very motivated in general. My core skill is heavy back-end PHP development with a focus on speed optimization of both PHP, SQL and servers. As an example; recently I've been working on real time cache invalidation techniques so I can do caching without having stale data.

I participate heavily in the Nginx community and am one of the core supporters in #nginx on freenode when I'm not travelling. I blog from time to time about Nginx and PHP on http://blog.martinfjordvald.com/. My English is excellent but my Chinese non existent.

So if you have a PHP opening (or don't mind me having to (re)learn another language) in HK and can sponsor a visa then I'm your guy.
