BayPIGgies: January 12, 7:30pm (Google)

2006-01-07 Thread Aahz
The next meeting of BayPIGgies will be Thurs, January 12 at 7:30pm at
Google, room Tunis.  Meet in the lobby of building 43.

This will be a combo meeting:

* First Marilyn Davis will practice her "Why Python?" talk -- she's
looking for feedback and suggestions on improving it.

* We'll fill the rest of the time with a "Newbies Night"; this is your
opportunity to get realtime responses to questions about Python


BayPIGgies meetings alternate between IronPort (San Bruno, California)
and Google (Mountain View, California).  For more information and
directions, see http://baypiggies.net/


Before the meeting, we sometimes meet at 6pm for dinner.  Discussion of
dinner plans is handled on the BayPIGgies mailing list.  

Advance notice:  We need speakers for February and later; the February
meeting is currently reserved for PyCon speakers wanting practice, and
the March meeting will probably be a PyCon wrap-up.  Please e-mail
[EMAIL PROTECTED] if you want to suggest an agenda (or volunteer to
give a presentation).

Ann: FarPy GUIE v0.3.1

2006-01-07 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
GUIE (GUI Editor) provides a simple WYSIWYG GUI editor for wxPython.
The program was made in C# and saves the GUI that was created to a XML
format I called GUIML. This GUIML is a pretty standard representation
of the GUI created with the program. Next, GUIE takes these GUIML files
and translates it to wxPython Python code. You may ask yourself why I
took the extra step? Why didn't I go straight from C# controls to
wxPython code? Why is GUIML necessary? Well, it isn't. It is there
simply for people (or maybe I) to take the GUIML and convert it to
other languages. This, by effect can convert this tool from a Python
GUI editor, to "any programming language with a GUI module" GUI editor.

Changes (as of v0.3.1)
Added: Cut + Copy + Paste Functionality!
Added: Code window (shows exported code; possible to disable in
settings)
Added: Error reporting option
Changed: Preperations for multi GUI language support

[ANN] Release 0.54 of Task Coach

2006-01-07 Thread Frank Niessink
Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce release 0.54 of Task Coach. New in this release:

Bugs fixed:

* The accelerators INSERT and Ctrl+INSERT were mapped to 'c' and 
'Command-Copy' on the Mac, which caused Task Coach to create a new task 
whenever the user typed a 'c'. Fixed by changing the accelerators for 
new task and new subtask to Ctrl+N and Shift+Ctrl+N (on the Mac only).

* It was possible to enter control characters -- by copy-and-pasting -- 
resulting in invalid XML in the Task Coach file.

* One python file was missing in the source distribution of release 
0.53. Added a test to check that all python files in the source are 
actually added to the source distributions, so hopefully this will never 
happen again.

Feature added:

* Effort can be exported as iCalendar (ICS) file and imported into e.g. 
Mozilla Sunbird. Each effort record is exported as a "VEVENT". This is 
an experimental feature. Patch provided by Gissehel.


What is Task Coach?

Task Coach is a simple task manager that allows for hierarchical
tasks, i.e. tasks in tasks. Task Coach is open source (GPL) and is
developed using Python and wxPython. You can download Task Coach from:

http://taskcoach.niessink.com
https://sourceforge.net/projects/taskcoach/

A binary installer is available for Windows XP, in addition to the
source distribution.

Note that Task Coach is alpha software, meaning that it is wise to back
up your task file regularly, and especially when upgrading to a new release.

Cheers, Frank

ANN: mountpy 0.5

2006-01-07 Thread garabik-news-2005-05
mountpy is a python script for quick automatic mounting and umounting
of external filesystems, especially suited for USB removable devices.
mountpy is developed on linux, and is meant for modern linux systems.

This is version 0.5, changes from previous version:

 - use setuid wrapper from python source distribution
   (suggested by Олег Бройтман/Oleg Broytmann)
 - do not try to umount directory which is not a mountpoint
   (caused some confusing, though harmless, messages)
