Does Python have certificate?

[Muddy Coder]

Hi Folks,

I wonder that does Python have certificate? You see, java, .NET, PHP,
and so on, they have certificates for developers to get. Python is
quite popular nowadays, I wonder is there such a thing? If so, I
certainly want to get one. I searched, and

No, there is no certification for Python. Maybe in the future...

I'll hand out the "Johannes Bauer Python Certificate of Total
Awesomeness" for anyone who can write a hello world in python and hands
me $25000 in cash.

This whole "certified foobar programmer" is complete crap IMHO.

The above offer stands nontheless.

Kind regards,
Johannes

O'Reilly School of Technology have plans to offer a Python
certification. But I have to write the courses first

If you're done with it I'd additionally suggest the honory title of a
VIPP: Very Important Python Programmer. VIPPs receive a sticker with a
Python logo and are immediately spotted this way by their numerous
fans.

I like the idea, but I would suggest that the award be
limited to the first 100 participants and that the title be:

Very Important Python Early Responder

I'd pay good money for that if the 'I' could be customized to stand
for Ignorant

The certification kind of comes out in the wash from the O'Reilly
development process, it's not a primary goal.

The above offer stands nontheless.

I'll trade you for a Steve Holden Information Technology certification ...

$25,000?! For a certificate? You must be kidding! I can buy a
Doctorate of Divinity (which should get me a jop in an Python shop)
for less than a tenth of that. You really need to turn off your spam
filter for a while to see how low the going price for fake
qualifications are these days.

But that's how employers will know it's real. "But I paid $25k
for this Steve Holden Institute of Technology certification --
I'm legitimately Supremely Certified Regarding Every Worthless
Education Degree. This isn't some cheap internet Certification
of Really Awesome Python skills honorific!"

Come now guys, don't be so harsh.

Certification is really important.  Without My Crappy Software Degree
my boss wouldn't have thought I'd be able to surf the internet,
trolling mailing lists to scout for other highly certified programming
whores.

Anyone looking for a job by the way?  All you need's good hair and
some fancy paper with your name on it.

Unless things have really changed, you could get a Doctor of BS*
from the Universal Life Church for a thousandth of that <G>

Doctor of Immortality hanging on my wall...

Darn you, you made coffee shoot out of my nose.

And then some people still argue about the reality of
action at a distance.

Get yourself a CS degree. Everything else is just being able to read
documentation.
