</p>
<p>Similar to heapq.merge and sorted(itertools.chain(*iterables)).</p>
<p>Like heapq.merge, returns a generator, does not pull the data into memory all at once, and assumes that each of the input iterables is already sorted (smallest to largest).</p>
<p>Unlike heapq.merge, accepts an infinite number of input iterables, but requires all of them to come in ascending order (that is, their starting point must be in ascending order each).</p>
<p>Also, accepts a <em>key</em> function (like <code>sorted</code>, <code>min</code>, <code>max</code>, etc.)</p>

Besides the file pattern or file a menu file and an optional list of section names are specified on the command line.</p>

Revision 3.
</p>
<h4>Introduction</h4>
<p>At Sphere Online Judge (<a href="https://www.spoj.pl" rel="nofollow">https://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>

<p>Just a Singleton Logger class. <br />
To use it, change PATH and LOG_FILENAME in the source so that you save your .log file wherever you want.</p>
<p>Then, to test it do:</p>
<p>foo = Logger("foo") <br />
bar = Logger("bar") <br />
foo.debug("debugging foo :D") <br />
bar.info("informing bar :P")</p>
