Looking for Agile Python Consulting

[Ed Leafe]

	This isn't a specific job request, which is why I'm not placing it on  
the Python Job Board. Rather, I'm in the process of gathering  
information for an upcoming project, and I need to determine what  
resources, if any, are available in the Python community.

	We're in the planning stages of a fairly long-term project (1-2  
years), and the management here has been very impressed by the work of  
a consulting group used on another project in the company. They use  
Agile programming techniques, and have a lot of experience managing  
these sorts of projects. Unlike other projects with consultants,  
theirs have been very successful, and thus management is leaning  
towards using them for this one.

	The problem, though, is that these consultants are a Rails shop, and  
it would mean changing a large part of our coding efforts to Ruby. My  
very strong preference is to stay with Python, so I'm trying to locate  
Python-centric consultants who use a similar disciplined Agile  
approach so that I can propose an alternative to the Rails solution.  
I'm not terribly concerned with Django vs. TurboGears vs. any other  
framework; at this point I'm only concerned with Python vs. Ruby.

	If you are part of such a consulting group, or know of one that fits  
these requirements, please reply to me off-list.
