Now you can benefit from years of accumulated Python experience by calling me at SkyPE for free. You can call me free of charge whenever you need assistance (and I'm available), just add python_support to your SkyPE contact list. Please read on for more information if you are interested.
Update: Due to frequent problems with SkyPE I've created a

This service could be very useful for you, but also help me to improve my spoken English. My current knowledge should be enough for understanding your question, but please be tolerant. I live in Hungary, so I don't have a live environment of English speaking people to learn from. You "pay" for my service only by the conversation itself while we try to solve your problem. This way we can help each other. Any comments about my English are welcome, but only in spoken form. It does not matter if you are not a native English speaker. You're welcome!
Support is given in my spare time, so I can't guarantee an exact schedule. You'll be called back later if I can't receive your call at the moment. The time I can spend serving a request depends on the number of requests and the time available. It's a free service, so I can't work for many hours on a single requests, but I could give you hints to complete your solution and contact with your later if required.
Please don't send your question as a chat message, since it's a speech-only service (see it's goal above). Of course, you can send me additional information (python code, URLs, etc.) during the call, but not before that, please. Naturally, there could be problems I can't solve due to lack of experience or knowledge (my fault), but I will try to do my best.
Operation systems available: My current desktop machine runs Ubuntu Feisty (Linux), but I can access Windows XP SP2 Professional (English version) if required (when available). I've no Macintosh machines, currently.
Python versions installed: Python 2.3.5, 2.4.4 and 2.5.1
I give you this service without any warranty. You are responsible for the consequences, such as using or misusing of information you got, using or not using the libraries I suggested or anything else related to our contact. By calling python-support you are agree with the terms above. I retain the right to suspend or terminate the service without any notice. (But such a termination will certainly be announced.)
Security note: I'll delete all files and other information from my system after two weeks. I won't abuse them, but please don't send me passwords or classified information.
To be done as questions are asked.

I've more than seven years of Python experience from version 1.5.2 to the latest release. I've developed some large scale Python applications and successfully utilized it in my daily work, such as WEB application development, system administration, data conversion or mining, testing, extraction of information of source code, etc. Incomplete list of my prior Python experience, just focusing on the most important tools used and problems solved:
Thank you in advace for trusting me.
