Well the question is that the supply seems to be preceding demand. Tons of python freelancers seeking work on the thread - no one is seeking python freelancers.
I have a post on that thread, seeking work. But that doesn't mean i don't have work. I run a consulting firm that handles a dozen python projects at any given time and i definitely get more than a dozen offers each week. But yeah quite a lot of them are, "game changing", 'equity' types.
I guess like most freelancers, the people on there might already have a steady stream of work, and are just marketing themselves since python is the in-thing right now?
