I've been tracking Python, Django, NumPy and several other frameworks in job listings this year

Hi all, I built a website to track programing languages/skills/frameworks in jobs.
Perhaps unsurprsingly Python is by far the biggest category in software engineering:

I'm tracking many other Python frameworks and libraries as well:

I hope this is of some use of you, if there's another framework you'd like me track, please let me know!

Also there's a Python component as well, I use Python to identify trends in my dataset. Every month I load up 10 million new jobs and compare them with the months before to identify new types of jobs to add to the site.

That tracking is undoubtedly useful, but I found an even more useful conclusion was the recent python survey results.

Now: this may be biased and flawed, I get it; but, if we ignore any bias, I still think it is interesting. Have a look here:

So JavaScript is by far the second most popular language used by python folks. I found that extremely interesting. I would have guessed it may have been C or C++ or Java, but JavaScript by far takes the lead here (we can group HTML and CSS into that stack, as I think HTML, CSS and JavaScript are very closely tied together, much more so than python in itself is).

All of the trends on your front page show “Infinite” growth… Surely that’s a error/bug and not intended behavior?

I saw this too. Unsure if it was intentional. Makes me believe it’s more marketing than factual.

No tkinter?

Does anybody use it in production?

We do

I absolutely love this. Tkinter is a little weird, but honestly it’s pretty damn powerful and using a cross platform tool that has scads of documentation is a fantastic idea. What industry are you guys in?

Facial recognition. I used it to build some simple application that our non-technical customers can use to interface with our API. But I've now moved on to PySimpleGui because it's much easier to use and tkinter looks like shit

That’s a bummer - I kind of like the tkinter look to be honest but I know a lot of people don’t like it…

Is facial recognition an industry that actually pays out? I did a bunch of that in grad school… maybe I could do a start up of facial recognition around here…

It's a very expensive technology because it requires very expensive hardware so the demand isn't super high. Most of our customers are either government organizations or big casino chains.

Oh you’re like big time FR, not a small database of customers in a small area, gotcha - I got excited for a second about running little models on microcontrollers etc.

Right on! Still, I really like the fact you guys are using tkinter.

blueman2903@reddit

I don't think there's a market for that, but you could try! Make a little side project and see how it goes!

[-]

Upset_Huckleberry_80@reddit

Maybe I will, that’s not a bad idea

I never saw it. I already used it wxPython once, and a small project in my work uses a variation of tkinter called CustomTkinter to achieve a more modern look

But the standard tkinter itself? Never
