If so, I doubt there are many.
I wonder why that is?

If you know German, there was just a job posting on this list for a
python programmer. That would be at least one person.

Python programmers get their code working so fast that management has
to find other things for them to do to fill their time. So they're
not really making a living programming in Python.

For the last 5 years most of my jobs have been Python based. At two
of those places Python has been the main but not only language used.

both my last summer jobs consisted entirely of python, and the jobs i'm
looking at for next summer all involve python. and one of my profs
makes a living teaching python. and the office i worked for 2 summers
ago was 5 old guys who did nothing but python and stock trade analysis
all day.
if i'm lucky, my career employer after i get out of grad school will
let me play with python and lisp all day everyday.
[so, google, please don't start sucking any time soon.]

Previously I used Python while earning a living working in IT at a
college. Currently it is putting food on the table via contract jobs.
I imagine there are "many" out there like me, doing just that.

where do you find these "contract jobs", if you don't mind my asking?

Software Development Magazine (maybe? been a while since I read the
article) interviews lots of programmers yearly, asking - among other
things - what programming languages they use. The article mentioned that
Python's share has grown by about 1% a year for several years in a row.
I think it was around 10-13% a year or two ago.
Interestingly enough, Pythonistas earned relatively high salaries
compared to others.

I'm surprised. It seems I never see listings for python developers.
I didn't mean any disrespect. I think python is a great language. It
just doesn't seem like there is much demand for professional python
developers.

Peter Kropf is processing 3-5 new postings per week.

Once upon a time, I was a Perl programmer. Then my job forced me to
learn Python. Once I got hooked, I never looked back. I've had two
different jobs as a full-time Python programmer -- my current company has
existed for ten years on a platform built with Python.

well, if you're only watching mtv, it's easy to think that there's
obviously not much demand for country singers, blues musicians, British
hard rock bands, or melodic death metal acts.
