Demo: Versus

The versus demo lets you compare head-to-head reputation over all the StackExchange sites. It does give you a big advantage: it only counts sites you have joined, and you win if its a tie (just to simplify the code).

Two StackOverflow user ID’s are specified on the command-line, and reputations are totalled up:

lucas@ubuntu:~/projects/py-stackexchange$ demo/versus.py 41981 1
Game Developers: Lucas Jones wins (+0)
Gaming: Jeff Atwood wins (+61)
Gaming Meta: Jeff Atwood wins (+61)
Meta Stack Overflow: Jeff Atwood wins (+84117)
Server Fault: Jeff Atwood wins (+2982)
Stack Apps: Lucas Jones wins (+149)
Stack Overflow: Jeff Atwood wins (+7795)

If Jon Skeet wasn’t on SO, I’d be beating him. Oh, well.

I suppose it’s kind of cheating if I pick the person last on the users list. Then again, maybe not. (Incidentally, that seems to be a good way to see your total rep, and it broken down.)
