[ANN] pyasm 0.2 - dynamic x86 assembler for python

2005-03-09 Thread Grant Olson
 
 
PyASM by Grant Olson  
=

PyASM is a dynamic x86 assembler for python.  By "dynamic", I 
mean that it can be used to generate inline assembly 
functions in python at runtime without requiring object file 
generation or linkage.

New in version 0.2
--

 + Linux Support.  Will work in Linux environments as well as Windows.
 + Simplified Interface.  You only need to use one function 
to generate code.
 + Preliminary Documentation.

More information and downloads are available on my homepage:

## helloWorld.py
## assembly hello world script

from pyasm import pyasm

pyasm(globals(),r"""
 !CHARS hello_str 'Hello world!\n\0'

 !PROC hello_world PYTHON

 !ARG  args

  PUSH hello_str
  CALL PySys_WriteStdout
  ADD ESP, 0x4

Announcement: PyMatrix-0.0.1a Released

2005-03-09 Thread Colin J. Williams
PyMatrix is a package to provide access to the functionality of matrix 
algebra.

This package is currently based on numarray.  It includes a statistics 
module which includes a basic analysis of variance.

In the future it is hoped to enhance the generality of the divide 
operation, to add the transcendental functions as methods of the matrix 
class and to improve the documentation.  The expectation is that 
Numeric3 will eventually replace numarray and that this will necessitate 
some changes to PyMatrix

Downloads in the form of a Windows Installer (Inno) and a zip file are 
available at:

   http://www3.sympatico.ca/cjw/PyMatrix
An /Introduction to PyMatrix/ is available:
   http://www3.sympatico.ca/cjw/PyMatrix/IntroToPyMatrix.pdf
Information on the functions and methods of the matrix module is given at:
   http://www3.sympatico.ca/cjw/PyMatrix/Doc/matrix-summary.html
