techytom: @seun, thanks, Its good to know that I'm on point. I just checked out Mercurial. I'm checking how o work between the two code versioning systems.

Fayimora: @Seun is it legal to help a contestant by submitting issues?

Seun: One of the contestants encountered this error with CherryPy and Python3.2:

doncigalo: @techytom Is there a way you could host ur app online so that those of us dat dont have a python enabled enviroment can have a look.

Fayimora:
Mercurial is an easy switch if you use something as complex as git. Just use the same commands but replace git with hg. For instance, instead of `git commit -m "my brief commit message"` you would use `hg commit -m "my brief commit message"`. Beware, it doesn't work that way in more complex cases!

Seun: @techytom: I love fast learners. Kudos. Please commit to mercurial frequently, and push regularly.

How do I install Jinja? Can't figure it out.

Seun: Thanks. How did you install yours?

Seun: Please switch to MySQL Connector/Python and abandon PyMySQL. It has certain bugs.

Seun: @techytom: Nice. Did you see the stack trace I posted? Your db.sql file has 2 candidates tables and no results table.

sarutobi: i'd love to participate, but why should I learn a language that relies heavily on code indentation? Python is cool but not cool enough.

maclatunji: I am not a programmer but I do think that if you are going to organise a competition, people should know who the 'other judges' are apart from you Seun. It is a nice idea!

dcodesmith: Good Idea! What if we all make it a joint effort? Use github as our code repo n build it for fun and make it open source. We could have UI/UX, Javascript, Python guys n they can focus on those aspect of the site. I also agree with laidbacks points abt hardware n so on.
