A Simple Conference Utility Program?

[Steve Holden]

Just a quickie.

Suppose we have a number of registered delegates for a conference, and
we want to publish a list of the names of only those who confirm, by
sending an email to a specific address, that they wish their names to be
published.

Obviously emails that do not come from an address registered in the
database should be ignored. We can maybe ignore the risk of spamming,
though any anti-spam measures to make the email address more secure
would be useful. [Next year we'll have them choose passwords when they
register...]

Given that all data can comfortably be held in memory, and starting with
a list of (name, email, False) triples, how much Python does it take to
maintain and publish a list of confirmed delegates?

[name may actually be (firstname, lastname)].

regards
 Steve
