[ANN] Python-OpenID 1.0
It is with great pleasure that JanRain, Inc. announces version 1.0 of the Python OpenID library. This library contains packages to support both OpenID consumers (relying parties) and servers. For back-end storage, it supports a variety of methods, including flat file, SQL, and MemCached. In our own work on making applications OpenID enabled, we've been reminded that every web framework is different. For that reason we've strived to make this library general enough to fit in to any Python web application. We also like to think the API is simple to follow. Let us know how it works for you. Home: http://openidenabled.com/openid/libraries/python License: LGPL Download: http://openidenabled.com/openid/libraries/python/downloads/ Docs: http://openidenabled.com/python-openid-docs/1.0.0/ Requires: Python (versions 2.2 through 2.4) What is this OpenID Thing Anyway? OpenID is a decentralized identity system that provides authentication for web applications, i.e. single sign-on for the web. See http://openid.net/ If you're interested in OpenID but this library isn't quite what you've been waiting for for, keep your eye on http://openidenabled.com. There's more coming.

[ANNOUNCE] Twenty-seventh release of PythonCAD now available
Hi. I'm pleased to announce the twenty-seventh development release of PythonCAD, a CAD package for open-source software users. As the name implies, PythonCAD is written entirely in Python. The goal of this project is to create a fully scriptable drafting program that will match and eventually exceed features found in commercial CAD software. PythonCAD is released under the GNU Public License (GPL). PythonCAD requires Python 2.2 or newer. The interface is GTK 2.0 based, and uses the PyGTK module for interfacing to GTK. The design of PythonCAD is built around the idea of separating the interface from the back end as much as possible. By doing this, it is hoped that both GNOME and KDE interfaces can be added to PythonCAD through usage of the appropriate Python module. Addition of other PythonCAD interfaces will depend on the availability of a Python module for that particular interface and developer interest and action. The twenty-seventh release contains primarily bug fixes and internal code enhancements. A long-standing interface problem where the display of selected entities was not clear has been fixed. When you select an entity it is redrawn in a highlighting color, making it clear which entities are selected at any one time. Also, the ability to deselect a selected entity has been added to the interface. The bug fixes included in this release address a few problems introduced in the previous release as well as various older issues. A mailing list for the development and use of PythonCAD is available. Visit the following page for information about subscribing and viewing the mailing list archive: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythoncad Visit the PythonCAD web site for more information about what PythonCAD does and aims to be: http://www.pythoncad.org/ Come and join me in developing PythonCAD into a world class drafting program!
