Hi Andreas,

Thank you for the reply.

As you have mentioned, it might be difficult to convince debian system
administrators to configure ruby on rails just for this project. Is it okay
if I learn pylons quickly? As I have been doing a bit of web development
and python programming for the last few years, humbly I'm confident to
learn pylons fastly. I checked a couple of example programs written using
pylons yesterday, pylons seems easy and has a good learning curve. After
all, learning a new framework is always fun :-)

Looking forward for your reply. Thank you once again.

Regards,
Ershad
