Hello Bheemesh,

This mailing list is for the development of Python, not for developing 
*with* Python. There are other more appropriate mailing lists where you 
will hopefully get helpful answers:

The Python tutor list
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

The comp.lang.python newsgroup
The email gateway: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
A google groups interface: 
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/topics?lnk=li&hl=en&pli=1

All the best,

Michael Foord
