Even at entry level Python I charged a (very) short term client $75/hr, while my "favorite client" I mention getting $35/hr from was definitely a longer term contract. @Michael Richardson:

Longer term projects (the kind that approach on part or full time) are almost always cheaper. Oh, one quick note – the minimum rate I quoted is for short term projects.

Value your skills more highly! Experienced Python development starts around $75/hr (in the Portland area). This rate comes from (very recently) trying to figure out what to charge and talking to a lot of other experienced contractors.
