I'm 50, and have been programming since LBJ was in the White House.
Python is a real breath of fresh air, and I'm delighted that my employer
is letting me use it for essentially all my work.

Python fits my brain.

I turned 20 about 6 months ago and I've been goofing around with
Python for about 2 years. I'd also been programming in other languages
(like Basic :-) for a long time before that.

29, but I don't know if I qualify for 'Python programmer'... I use C++
professionally, and use Python only for small scripts and for some small
simple hobby-projects.

I believe the average will be more than 25. Not many kids program these
days. I'm 32 btw.

Perhaps when the timbot was 14, *everything* was godsent (or so the
Bible describes things :)
