Your question is VERY broad, and difficult for anyone who is not = knowledgeable of the context/business-climate in Cameroon to answer (and = I'm afraid that probably includes most of the people on this list.) Chris' advice is spot on, BUT, and if for any reason you think = circumstances in Cameroon would lead to a different answer - then, there = are three general areas in which a python developer might be able to = earn a bit of coin. 1) Consulting, that is, if you know more about a subject than any OTHER = businessman in the area, you may be able to sell answers to problems = he/they may be having 2) Web development, python (in combination with web-specific frameworks = like django) is a really powerful tool for developing web sites 3) Specific, proprietary, application development, if there is some = Cameroon-specific application that other locals like yourself would find = so useful they would pay money to have it (or an application some local = company would pay you for), you might be in a position to sell it. BUT, please note that all three of these are full of "if", "may", and = "might" qualifiers. They are EXTREMELY difficult to slip through. -Bill=20=
