I'm more than happy to apologize if I have hurt the sensibility of anybody.
However, I think there is some misunderstanding, let's try to clarify:

-SEXTANTE has two versions now (which are like 2 different projects)
-The QGIS version is still unstable, but is a much better software
(cleaner design, different things, etc)
-It would be great to coordinate both versions, but it has to be done
manually. currently, Victor Olaya is putting time on the QGIS version and not in
the gvSIG one, so they might get uncoordinated, which Victor do not see as
a terrible problem, anyway.
-SEXTANTE for gvSIG has more algorithms and is more prepared for that,
while SEXTANTE for QGIS has more backends, and is better suited for
it.

http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/sextante/
so it should be, according to Victor choice:
http://sextante.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

I really do not understand this (see above). What is Python SEXTANTE?
Anyway, sending a link and "appropriating" code seems different acts.

Bugs concerning the SEXTANTE QGIS Python plugin should be sent to:
http://hub.qgis.org/projects/sextante/issues
I do not see how this is "appropriating" anything.

As I explained in a previous mail, Victor Olaya is the person who can best correct
anybody on this. I took the liberty of talking on his behalf just because we are in
close contact, and he has not subscribed to this list.

Yes, "us" means QGIS. We (QGIS) already decided to integrate SEXTANTE into QGIS
master as soon as code freeze is over (we are now releasing QGIS 1.8), so the
distinction is blurred.

Where do you find a generic python SEXTANTE?

Having said that, if this still hurts, I apologize once more:
