I have experience writing and teaching Python for over 12 years. I taught Python at a top UK University and used lead teams using it with two of Europe's leading Security Consultancies. I sat on multiple code standard boards for small teams and large companies encouraging best practice idiomatic Python.
I'm comfortable using Python 3.X, Flask, and Django. My preferred tooling is Pycharm, tox, pytest and black.

Helped me within the 15 minutes, and did it free of charge. Saw my problem right away and told me what the mistake was and how to fix it. I will be going to Matt for any other issues I will have in the future.
