# Python Developer Skill

Python development specializing in Django, FastAPI, async programming, and modern Python patterns.

## Purpose

Handles all Python backend development including Django full-stack apps, FastAPI async APIs, pytest testing, and Python best practices.

## When to Use

- Django projects (models, services, API, testing)
- FastAPI async APIs
- Python async patterns and concurrency
- Python type hints and strict typing
- Python testing with pytest
- Python code quality and tooling
