What’s a Python® programmer’s job?

A Python programmer creates programs and applications using Python, with specific tasks depending on the job. They write code, test it for errors, and fix them. The job varies depending on the project, such as creating video game events or managing server-side applications for social networking sites.

The duties and responsibilities of a Python® programmer often vary and typically depend heavily on the specific job of the programmer. In general, however, a programmer usually works on creating programs and applications using the Python® programming language, often with specific regard to the syntax and scripts used in Python®. More specific goals and tasks often depend on the nature of the job performed by a Python® programmer. For example, someone working on a video game typically uses Python® to create scripted events, dictate how the game world responds to player actions, and help create the user interface (UI) for the game.

A Python® programmer is a person who typically has a background in computer science and programming, with special knowledge or training in using the Python® programming language. Python® is an open source, free, object-oriented programming language with a number of useful syntax and scripting capabilities that have made it increasingly popular in software development. The job of a Python® programmer typically varies a lot depending on the type of company that hires him or the project he is working on.

In general, however, a Python® programmer typically writes code using the syntax and scripts available in Python®. Once the code to be used in building a software program or application is generated, it typically tests that code to find errors, document them, and then fix them. This is often a fairly lengthy process that may require numerous attempts to ensure that the code is written correctly and runs without errors. As firmware that comes pre-installed on hardware has become increasingly important to many fields of engineering and electronics, a Python® programmer may also work on writing firmware rather than software applications.

The specific job performed by a Python® programmer typically varies depending on the type of project they are working on. A programmer who is working on a video game, for example, typically creates code that affects how characters can interact with the game world, creates the software that the game engine uses to generate the game world, and helps create the user interface seen by the player of the game. Other companies, however, might hire a Python® programmer to code for server-side applications that users never interact with directly. For example, a social networking site might have a programmer who writes Python® code that manages how clients connect and communicate with servers on a network, or alters how a site’s user interface Web is displayed for a user.
