People do put python stuff up for bid at rentacoder.  What I am seeing
is general stuff, I would say as part of my web presentation That I do
custom work or whatever, part of it is to be that person and then do
it...  You might try google I have an add on the side of my screen
that says freelance web designers part-time or Full-time Earn up to
$40 an hour..

When I was looking at your page I couldn't tell what it was, I see
that as a problem from a promotional standpoint (I do google adds so I
am big on self promotion)...  I would add to that you are available
for custom work...  maybe do some stuff with paypal or some payment
system.  You may want a wider focus, and screen shots of stuff you
have done
