Comments on: Marriage proposals in true geek style

I decided to create an online proposal @ http://www.WillYouMarryMeKC.com. I promise it’s not lame and I have a real world part as well. I want her to stumble across it some day via six-degrees-of-separation (there was actually a near miss tonight). I like the idea of fate and not knowing when it will happen (the men usually do!)
The gist of the proposal:
1. I really want to marry this girl whom I love!
2. Anyone can answer my proposal… Go ahead and try it!
3. If you really want to marry me you must answer an identity verifying quiz to prove you are my girlfriend.
4. It is a double surprise. She will be surprised to find the site and I will be surprised when I receive her acceptance! When I’m at work I stare apprehensively at my inbox!
Of course, I have a backup plan. I have a romantic weekend booked a few months from now at which time I will propose the non-internets way on one knee whether she has seen the site or not.

@Platypus: Good thing he wasn’t proposing to you. 🙂 That would obviously have ended in an epic fail.
We hereby encourage all Python coders to come up with the perfect Python proposal code. 😉 Come on, give it a shot!

The Python code proposal doesn’t work.
“while tonyPosition = onBendedKnee” won’t work because a single “=” is an assignment and you can’t make assignments in a while statement.
The string at the end of the print statement doesn’t have any closing quotes.
if stephAnswer() is a function then comparing “stephAnswer” to the string “No.” will always be false. In addition he is using an assignment “=” in an if statement which will fail.
Same thing for “if stephAnswer = ‘Yes.’
Marriage == FAIL
