^ This one is in the same group that I'm in, and it's definitely a 
python job. The 'python lead' one is obviously a python/C++ integration 
role like it says.

The other open positions are not as python-focused, but we're obviously 
trying to get more python in use all around, so there might be room for 
some interesting new projects.

Based on how I've seen things run at DreamWorks in the past, all those 
currently-listed positions seem like pretty cool jobs with room for 
exploring new projects and technologies. Our customers are in-house, 
technically-savvy, supportive people which makes it even more fun to 
code for them.

Please find me Thursday night if you'd like to hear more.
