As others have pointed out, the Lounge is not a place to ask programming questions; however, you haven't provided enough information to determine whether or not you actually have posted a programming question. If this is a programming question, when you repost this in a more appropriate forum, it would help if you provided a lot more information about what your question really is. For instance, what technology and language is this? What code do you already have? What effect are you looking for? What errors are you seeing?
Asking a good question is hard. It requires you to remove all assumptions, we don't know what you're building so we don't know how to help you properly. Take the time to sit down and plan your question; remember that we have no context here, so you have to provide every bit of relevant information in one go.
Good luck.

As if they just found the answer for this whole universe' existence.
I asked one of the job applicants, a fresher what he wants to be. he says "Python developer".
Which felt okay, to start with.
Then I asked, after 5 years?
Applicant: "Senior Python developer"
Then I insisted, if he'd be interested to specialize any of the technology than tools. (We've had enough with people who could never adapt to change)
Applicant: No, I want to be expert Python developer.
I had to tell him I see no scope for growth or any long term plans for him in our company as we don't have rolls called "python SME, python super Expert, python Engineering manager/director & Python CEO, CTO & Python magician"
Some or many of you might still feel specializing on a specific language and building career over it is fine, I might find it okay too if it's useful for the work. Unfortunately, for us, it's not. We have come around different tools and different needs requesting the devs to learn new tools to get things done.
I did enquire with other folks why these kids are so obsessed with Python. Looks like their instructors at college have said "Python" is the future. That's where there money is. 
Im developing a fresh dislike for "Python".

Python is great, but then so is C, C++, C#, Java ... The problem with these people is that what they really want is to be rich and famous. Actually doing some work is not in their mindset.

Few years back when I asked them similar questions they used to say "Want to be a cloud expert".
When I hear something like this I'd want to follow it up with the next question.
"Which means you want to build a fault tolerant, globally distributed/replicated, hardware agnostic, scalable , managed system? OR you want to be one of those people who move their in-premises SQL server to Cloud and call themselves a cloud expert"?

Anyone whose ambition is to be "an expert in X", is unlikely to make it. In my experience, the experts are the quiet people who get on with their work undisturbed by the surrounding noise. But when asked questions they always come up with excellent answers. I recall one specific individual who really knew the internals of a large OS inside out. When asked how he got to know so much his answer was, "practice, practice, practice".

First qualification an expert needs is to know he/she still has a lot to learn.

BANG! - Got it in one.
I get on average about 15 questions a week on this on Quora, and every single one of them boils down to the same question.
"Whats the fastest way for me to get from Zero Coder to Hero Coder, and the many glorious riches it will give me"
Many of them fully believe that it's "All About the Code" and "How great the code looks", so they go hunting for "The easiest language", which for many usually ends up either being Python or JavaScript, why?
Simple.
Beacuse if you don't know how to do something then there's usually a module/library/bit of code that's just an 'NPM install' or 'PIP install' away.

Yes, the candidate's single-language fixation is a bit ridiculous but there's a flip-side to this.
Employers frequently insist on commercial experience in specific languages. We've all seen those adverts that demand version X of this and version Y of that when what they actually need is someone who can program a computer.
Whilst any good techie would recognise that a good Java programmer is likely to provide a lot more long-term benefit in a .NET shop than a lousy C# programmer ever will - HR types and recruitment pimps don't see the world that way. This means that we tend to get glued to a particular tech-stack whether we like it or not.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Very true. Our team have done that precisely. There was just close to NIL learning curve, when our team (MS/C#) had to do something in Java, except for Settings up environment & grasping some syntax tweaks.

Exactly, my team handles various projects, some new(angular js and other fancy stuff) ,some old(C# and VB.Net). It surprises me when some people (most of them) are willing to work on a badly implemented C# project instead of a well build VB.Net just because VB.Net sounds like an "older technology".
I tried to convince them that both the languages in .Net are more or less the same except for some syntax differences for which, a simple google search is always an option.
But somethings you just can't expect people to understand.

I dunno. I'm a C++ expert more than I'm any other thing, and that has worked pretty well for me career-wise. Perhaps there's a difference in how powerful being an expert in C++ makes you, versus python (igniting flame war).

Python, Java, iPads; as long as it is non-Microsoft "to prevent a vendor-lock in".
..and that attitude helped to create a lot of new 'institutes' that teach .NET in the past years. Most universities and academics would shudder of .NET / Visual BASIC courses

I don't know. I made good living hanging around Microsoft platform/tools for 30 years. Never ventured too far from it. If I were to stay mainly in small shops and startups, my experience might be different, but all my experience had been with bigger companies/government so they are not shy licensing expensive tools.

A parallel observation/opinion:
For Chemistry (or as I refer to it, "real life") I went to a graduate school with some rather prestigious faculty. One noted, on the first day of his Advanced Inorganic Chemistry course that 'any of you that does as a faculty member the same research they did as a graduate student is doomed to oblivion' It jived with my opinion.
If your degree's any good, a PhD. really means "will train" - because you should have learned one most important thing in all those years . . . to learn how to learn.
