Dear Sir, It seems it is pretty tough situation for you. I heard US/EU are badly wriggling through slump and all. But I never heard of this kind. But in India, things are bit different. All major concerns are recruiting. But well, I do not know whether it will match your living standards. In India major technology is C/C++ or Java. You can find out even Honeywell has a big set up in India. I know one person of e-mail id "joy94...@gmail.com", he is most probably has lot of Python profiles. I got this contact from this room only. You can have a try. Python job board also has lot of offerings. What about them? Can you think earning from some open projects for time being. Rentacoder may be tried. Though I feel their process is bit complicated and time-taking. Hope coming new year will be good for you. Wishing you a happy and prosperous new year. Regards, Subhabrata.
