30 here and 1/2 way through my bachelors, I had no coding or tech experience and I've not looked back. I had a hunch I'd like it; I've always been good at maths and logic.
Jump on in, it's lovely in here!
http://cyberduck.ch/ allows access to google docs via it's FTP client, pretty sweet.
I still prefer dropbox though but I use encrypted disk images for documents.

It was listed somewhere - can't remember where, I'll forward the original to you now.
Keep up the good work.
I have it installed, I seem to have issues sending texts from the web interface. Reading them and the notifications are great though. I tried emailing your support email and that bounced too.

I'm in a similar vessel over here in Scotland/UK 30yr old, CS undergrad, wife/daughter etc. I've no experience other than the 1.5yrs coding from University and mostly in Java & php. Around 3 weeks ago I used linkedin to target companies in and around Edinburgh that I thought I could work in, loosely based on product/location but not tech stack. I also used google finance and used different phrases to find larger companies. I contacted managers and HR staff via unsolicited email with my CV and academic transcript.
I've had 3 interviews so far and a further 1 next week with. I've had 1 offer of p/t during term and f/t in the summer.
All 3 companies don't let interns loose on their codebase, understandable tbh. They look at setting a side project, within their 'product roadmap', to develop a proof of concept. Sometimes this ends up not being useful, but the company can keep their current dev team on more pressing issues while undertaking 'research'. Might be worth approaching with this tangent?
I'm assuming that an internship is the same over here as in your locale; a summer job? If python is your chosen path great but don't let it stand in the way of applying to different companies. All 3 of the companies I've interviewed with use .Net and MSoft stacks, of which I have no experience. I found most of the interviewers had been focused on assessing my communication skills instead of technical prowess. Learning another language can't be a bad thing?
Good Luck!
