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 "joy94040 at 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.
Delhi,
