One thing I've always kind of wondered is what is the average age of a
Python programmer?? What age groups use Python?? Something to think
about....
It's going to take a long time if we all just give single numbers.
From what I've seen at PyCon and PyGTA (and I *suck* at guessing ages,
btw), there is a large population lump in the late teens and early
twenties among the Twisted developers. IIRC there was actually a PyCon
survey that might have this information with *real* numbers. Theres a
good little bump among the scientific and core-dev peoples for late
forties and above (maybe those careers keep you flexible enough to try
new things? Maybe the projects are experimental enough that using a
"new" language isn't a problem?)
Beyond those groups, I would guess the average is in the early
thirties/late twenties, with most of the bulk from 25-ish through
33-ish. Of course, the "casual" Python programmer isn't likely to show
up to *any* Python-related event, and there are likely more of them than
those of us who've drunk the kool-aid. And as I mentioned before, I
suck at guessing ages...
It's so much more efficient to just make up the statistics.
