<div class="moz-cite-prefix">In another email you were talking about
Python in Drupal. The problem as I and others pointed out is that
there is no Python in Drupal. This can also be verified by the
lack of a Python requirement on the requirements page on
drupal.org:<br>

It sounds like the project you took over did some serious hacking
on Drupal, which means that the problems you face won't really be
answered by books or courses. <br>
<br>
Sadly what you are running into is a very common situation. Over
my 10 years of working with Drupal I have taken over projects that
people tried to incorporate different server side languages into.
<br>
<br>
Most online courses now focus on Drupal 7, since Drupal 6 is
approaching end of life. There are some pretty significant changes
between the two versions, so that might not be of too much help.<br>
<br>
Here are some resources though to help you out:<br>

collection!)<br>

(books for Drupal 6)<br>
<br>
But the best way to learn it is to just dive in. Set you up a
fresh install of Drupal and start playing around with it, adding
modules, etc. Once you figure out the basics, then play around
with writing some custom modules.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps!<br>

mostly in PHP or Python without understanding exactly how
Drupal works. Everything was going OK but now the application
is behaving very weird, there are some system changes that I'm
sure I didn't do (at least directly) and no one else. <br>

need to understand how Drupal works (high level). I got books
from library but honestly Drupal seems too complicated to me.
