Please do not cross post. Ask on the site you think most appropriate, then if you change your mind flag it to be migrated so you don't waste people's time resolving a question that is being worked on and maybe even solved elsewhere. – Caleb Jul 25 '11 at 10:21

Instead of saying "it's easy in any language" and linking elsewhere, it would be better to provide a working example customized to the context of this question. – Caleb Jul 25 '11 at 9:14
Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't want a copy/paste response, any simple example in python is useful for the question. – Juan Francisco Cantero Hurtado Jul 25 '11 at 16:31
