    If you want to become a python developer, i suggest learning pytest and applying for test developer positions. I was a completely self taught, bsc. chemistry dropout. I found that junior python developer is pretty much not a thing. However, i got hired as QA developer. It is what python is most used for, and companies are more willking to take a risk with you, because if you turn out to be an mediocre developer, you can still be extremely valuabe as a QA professional. After a few years, you can transition to a full blown developer position, and the testing experience will be hugely beneficial later on in your career

    It's tough. I went to school for 2 years gaining experience in a variety of programming languages, and fell in love with python. Did quite a few python projects in school, and after graduating did an independent django project along with several long tutorials. That's probably the bare minimum to get a junior dev job (at least without a 4 year degree). It took me 5 months and applying to hundreds of jobs before I was finally hired (and I had to move as well). Word of advice: there really is a skills gap. Don't let all these postings saying they want 2-3 years of experience scare you away from applying. Many will interview you anyway, at the very least.

      Hi, I know it's been 2 months and you've probably already figured it out on your own or just moved on to some other IDE/editor but I'm writing this in case you or anyone else struggles with the same issue. Sublime's console doesn't really support user input (or at least not with Python). You will need an extra package for that, called SublimeREPL (REPL stands for read-evaluate-print loop ). Here are the simple steps to adding it to Sublime:
      1. While in Sublime, press Ctrl+Shift+P
      2. In the search bar type/choose "sublime package control: install package"
      3. After that select SublimeREPL
      Restart Sublime and everything should be ready. You can use SublimeREPL from tools>sublimerepl>python. There is also a default shortcut to run your program with SublimeREPL instead of the default console. For me that was: Ctrl+Alt+B but you can change it to whatever combination you want from the SublimeREPL config file. Hope that helps :)

      Hi Ranga,
      Instead of end, use sep, for separator.
      For example,
      print(a,b,sep="").
      This will remove the default spaces that are placed between a and b.

      Back end Web developer is not really a simple job. You have to be familiar with the Web Dev stack.
      If it's with Python, you will need knowledge of a framework like Django and Flask. Then there are other stuff like Database Management, Apis, cloud services etc.
      Also what Dan said, some real life experience. You can try starting small like making a small blog from scratch with these technologies I mentioned.
