Hey johnwall, you're in a good city to be a python web developer. First off, you should check these two urls on a regular basis:
Second, here's a list of companies that are looking are have looked in the past for Python developers. The included links may not have a Python job posted anymore, but I recommend cold-calling/emailing each of them and see what happens. I'll leave obtaining the proper phone numbers / emails to you :)

Andrew, I work for Sapient based out of Arlington. I know that we were recently looking for a web developer with python experience. The position may have been filled, but I would be happy to put your resume in. The tech recruiter is a good buddy of mine. jakelear @ gmail.
http://jobstractor.com/#!/Washington has one Python job at the moment. Also worth checking on a regular basis (or sign up for the weekly email). For people looking for internships as one commenter was, I noticed a few in the current results as well.
I'm from DC as well, but I'm currently in college and looking for an internship for this summer...you wouldn't happen to have any recommendations? I'm mainly a Ruby/Rails guy, but I can pick up anything...any help would be much appreciated.
It's not start-up-y, but via my day job I might be able to hook you up with a programming internship at a very large professional member association.
This spring/summer we're building out a client-side-templating-oriented CMS framework, likely in Node.js or Ruby or some hybrid of the two. If that sounds interesting to you (or other HN-ers) feel free to reach out to me (email adderess in profile).
We might be bringing on an intern or two at CustomInk. Great work environment, great office in Tysons. Reach out to me at csutton@customink.com if you're interested.
