Thanks for clarifying. We(The Python group of the FOSSEE team) have been looking at this thread and the thread on Scipy India 2009 - SciPy.in. I don't want to make any comments on the exchanges in the threads. This is a blog post from one of the senior persons in the team on the subject: http://fossee.in/blog/drupal -- Thanks and regards, Madhusudan.C.S FOSSEE Team
