Release 1.5 (final) of the Spread Module for Python is now available: http://zope.org/Members/tim_one/spread
No changes have been made since last week's 1.5 beta 1 release. The primary visible changes since release 1.4 are Mark McClain's new code to give Mailbox objects a multigroup_multicast() method, and that the Windows build now works with Spread 3.17.3. See the download page for details. About the Spread Module ----------------------- This package contains a simple Python wrapper module for the Spread toolkit (see below). It wraps Spread mailboxes and messages in Python objects with appropriate methods and attributes, and turns Spread errors into Python exceptions. Virtually all Spread features are accessible from Python. It's intended to be used with Spread 3.17.3 and Python 2.3.4, although other combinations are possible. A source tarball is available, and a Windows installer with a precompiled spread.pyd (which must be used with a Python in the 2.3 line). About Spread ------------ >From the Spread website (<http://www.spread.org>): Spread is a toolkit that provides a high performance messaging service that is resilient to faults across external or internal networks. Spread functions as a unified message bus for distributed applications, and provides highly tuned application-level multicast and group communication support. Spread services range from reliable message passing to fully ordered messages with delivery guarantees, even in case of computer failures and network partitions. Spread is designed to encapsulate the challenging aspects of asynchronous networks and enable the construction of scalable distributed applications, allowing application builders to focus on the differentiating components of their application. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html
