Umm, I didn't mean to imply that there are no companies which develop products 
in python. I said "...there are a few companies that do use python for non-web 
application development. I don't think there are any stats available though."

Since 2003, I've been lucky enough to work at product companies where 80% (or 
more) of my code was written in python.

well, yeah, compared to the .NET and Java opportunities, the amount of python 
work is less. However, I have seen a trend for most *nix based shops increasing 
their use on python (as opposed to perl/C++/C) over the years.

For anyone interested (not just Rory), keeping an eye on ...
http://fossjobs.in/
http://www.python.org/community/jobs/index.html
http://django.specialtyjobmarkets.com/

...might help (both for freelance as well as full-time work).

cheers,
