I'd say that you need:

programming fundamentals
common tools
Python expertise

As for Python expertise, you are expected to know Python
fundamentals, a fair amount of the standard library, a nice level
of popular fields (data science, web scraping, networking, async, etc)
To specialize in one.

I'd say that contributing to OpenSource helps a lot to sharpen the
sense of knowing what you need exactly!

Python was something I used in support of the primary task, but was not

network filtering hardware, by sending serial numbered packets out one NIC,
through the filter, and in through a second NIC; capturing both out&in via
Wireshark; later merging the two captures into a single file of time
delays, and plotting the timing of the packets intended to pass through and

Pretty much where I am (only less so) I have used python & flask to make a
reasonably sucsessfull web app for my fellow engineers at work, lots of
stuff with home Raspberry pi robotics but no formal qualifications in the
field.

Where I work we use python in the product and look for expertise in
object oriented design and python expertise. But will take people with
no python expertise if they are willing the learn python and have experience
of other OO languages, C+c, Java, etc.

We do not look for formal qualifications.
