ANN: PyQwt-5.1.0 released

2008-06-01 Thread Gerard Vermeulen
What is PyQwt ( http://pyqwt.sourceforge.net ) ?

- it is a set of Python bindings for the Qwt C++ class library which
  extends the Qt framework with widgets for scientific and engineering
  applications.   It provides a 2-dimensional plotting widget and
  various widgets to display and control bounded or unbounded floating
  point values.

- it requires and extends PyQt, a set of Python bindings for Qt.

- it supports the use of PyQt, Qt, Qwt, and optionally NumPy or SciPy
  in a GUI Python application or in an interactive Python session.

- it runs on POSIX, Mac OS X and Windows platforms (practically any
  platform supported by Qt and Python).

- it plots fast: fairly good hardware allows a rate of 100,000
points/second. (PyQwt with Qt-3 is faster than with Qt-4).

- it is licensed under the GPL with an exception to allow dynamic
linking with non-free releases of Qt and PyQt. 


The most important new features of PyQwt-5.1.0 are:
- support for Qwt-5.1.0.
- support for PyQt-4.4.2 and SIP-4.7.6.
- support for Qt-4.4.
- the CartesianDemo.py, MaskedDataDemo.py, PickerDemo.py examples.

The most important bug fixes in PyQwt-5.1.0 are:
- fixed QwtPicker::stateMachine() to allow for subclassing of QwtPicker
in Python.

PyQwt-5.1.0 supports:
1. Python-2.5, or -2.4. 
2. PyQt-3.17.
3. PyQt-4.4, PyQt-4.3, or PyQt-4.2.
3  SIP-4.7, or SIP-4.6.
4. Qt-3.3, or Qt-3.2.
5. Qt-4.4, Qt-4.3, or Qt-4.2.
6. Qwt-5.1, or Qwt-5.0.
7. Recent versions of NumPy, numarray, and/or Numeric.

I am pleased to announce Python courses in Germany this summer.

The courses will be in Leipzig, Germany from July 21 to 25, 2008.
(http://www.python-academy.com/courses/python_summer_course.html)

(1) "Python for Programmers" introduces Python to programmers without
or with little knowledge of Python. This course will be given on
July 21 and 22, 2008. For course details see:
http://www.python-academy.com/courses/python_course_programmers.html

(2) "Python for Scientists and Engineers" will be held from
July 23 -- 25, 2008. A detailed course outline can be found here:
http://www.python-academy.com/courses/python_course_scientists.html

Both courses can be booked individually or jointly.
Please register here:
http://www.python-academy.com/courses/dates.html

You can take advantage of being in Leipzig to attend the first
EuroSciPy conference on July 26 and 27, 2008. For more details see:

About EuroSciPy
---
EuroSciPy is designed to complement the popular SciPy
Conferences which have been held for the last 7 years at
Caltech (the 2008 SciPy Conference in the U.S. will be held
the week of August 19-24). Similarly, the EuroSciPy Conference
provides a unique opportunity to learn and affect what is
happening in the realm of scientific computing with Python.
Attendees will have the opportunity to review the available
tools and how they apply to specific problems.
By providing a forum for developers to share their Python
expertise with the wider commercial, academic, and research
communities, this conference fosters collaboration and
facilitates the sharing of software components, techniques and
a vision for high level language use in scientific computing.
Typical presentations include general python use in the
sciences, as well as NumPy and SciPy usage for general problem
solving.  Beyond the excellent talks, there are inter-
session discussions that prove stimulating and helpful.
Registration will include breakfast, snacks and lunch for
Saturday and Sunday.

Please pass this announcement along to any other relevant
contacts.

Many Thanks,
Mike Müller
