Minor news first : 'linky' a local link checker is available. http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/programs.shtml#linky
linky will check your website for dead links (within the website) as well as comparing it to the website on your filesystem, to check for case errors that might not be picked up if you test your website on windows. It can also report files that don't appear to be linked to - for finding redundant images etc. linky uses BeautifulSoup to do the hard work. The Voidspace Techie Blog has moved. My (mainly python related blog) now lives at : http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/weblog/index.shtml It is created using firedrop - the excellent blog tool by Hans Nowak MOVABLE PYTHON http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/movpy http://sourceforge.net/projects/movpy Version 0.4.5 is now available, hurrah. There are now prebuilt distributions for Python 2.2, 2.3, *and* 2.4. This is a bugifx/update release. The distributions it produces are very *similar* to version 0.4.4 distributions, but there are a couple of issues resolved. See http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/movpy/changelog.html for details. *Most* of the changes relate to the PyDistFrreeze.py in the 'source' package. This is the code that creates the frozen distributions. There have been several simplifications and improvements. Again, see the CHANGELOG for details. Version 0.5.0 Bruno Thoorens has provided me with the code for the GUI for PyDistFreeze.py When I have integrated it with PyDistFreeze.py it will form the 0.5.0 release. This should be in the next couple of weeks time permitting. The GUI is *excellent* :-) Movable Python is a Python runtime that can run scripts without the need for Python to be installed. With the inclusion of wxPython and SPE editor it is a portable (movable) development environment. Also useful for testing scripts with several different python versions. The source version will build frozen environments (using py2exe - so Windoze only currently), this can include whichever extension modules/packages you choose.
