This program had five revisions as outlined within the source code. To access settings within this program, use the "F2" key. Documentation may be accessed via the "F1" key (with future plans cut).</p> <p>If anyone wishes to comment or vote this recipe down, please provide your insight into the fault(s) of the program and provide a suggestion as to what solution you would implement to fix the problems.</p>

In the case where there are restrictions within a network that prevent opening server sockets or creating and using client sockets, the technique in this recipe may be used with file shares instead. The program is simple and was written in about fifty minutes, so there are a great deal of enhancements that could be made to the recipe and its capabilities. Hopefully, this will provide inspiration for other program writers.</p> <p>If you have any comments or wish to down-vote this recipe, please provide your insight as to what could be improved upon and how you would go about fixing any problems that you might find.</p>

Revision 3. </p> <h4>Introduction</h4> <p>At Sphere Online Judge (<a href="http://www.spoj.pl" rel="nofollow">http://www.spoj.pl</a>) you are given the capability of trying out the challenging problems given. It also gives you the capability of viewing and downloading your own solution.</p> <p>The tool spojbackup tends to automatically backup all your Accepted submissions and save them on the desired location of your computer. The basic idea is to automate the process which can be used as a backup and an offline reference tool of your own codes.</p> <h4>Features</h4> <ul> <li><p>Resume downloads. spojbackup currently supports resuming of the solutions if internet connection is disrupted</p></li> <li><p>Incremental backup facility it'll not download the code already present on your machine. Only newer code added in your signedlist will be downloaded</p></li> <li><p>User-defined destination all codes are saved at user-defined destination if no option is given by user it saves in the folder from where command is run</p></li> <li><p>Proxy support Proxy support is provided as SPOJ users are generally university students and they are generally behind a proxy and university firewall.</p></li> </ul> <h4>Bugs</h4> <p>In case of finding a bug please drop a mail to the authors. We will try to sort out the problems.</p>

Revision 3. </p> <p>This module provides several functions that covert earth seconds into paratessares time. It is used to implement time keeping on a fictional planet and is the standard time system of Tessaressunago. It can be used as an inspiration to other people creating their own units of time or as partitioned timestamps that can be applied to records. There are four different modules listed below: the standard implementation, a unit test, and two examples. To see the Python 2.5 version of this code in action and to test out its functionality, you can go over to the Utility Mill and find Paratessares_Time in the library ( <a href="http://utilitymill.com/utility/Paratessares_Time" rel="nofollow">http://utilitymill.com/utility/Paratessares_Time</a> ).</p>
