[Chicago] Full time Python Developer positions

[Emily Bremer]

Ok, sorry for the mistake--I meant to say 5-7 and 10+ years of 
professional software development experience, not exclusively Python 
experience. I realized this after I had posted this and thought about 
correcting it in another posting, but I guess people have already 
pointed it out. Anyway, sorry for the confusion.
