Jython 2.5.0 Release Candidate 4 is out!

[Frank Wierzbicki]

On behalf of the Jython development team, I'm pleased to announce that
Jython 2.5rc4 is available for download:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/jython/jython_installer-2.5rc4.jar
See http://www.jython.org/Project/installation.html for installation
instructions.

This is the fourth and probably final release candidate of the 2.5.0
version of Jython. If no major bugs are found in rc4, we will relabel
it as 2.5.0 final. With this version, all of the regression tests that
we follow on Windows now pass.

Please try this out and report any bugs that you find: http://bugs.jython.org

-Frank

ANN: pypi-grep, grep a local file of PyPI info

[denis]

An example first: pypi-grep 'pyqt' -->

# day  status  packagename  version  homepage  summary

2009-06-07  3  "pydee"  0.4.11  http://code.google.com/p/pydee/
Pydee development environment and its PyQt4-based IDE
tools: ...

2009-06-05  4  "Sandbox"  0.9.5  http://www.qtrac.eu/sandbox.html
A PyQt4-based alternative to IDLE
...

pypi-grep is just a file with one long line per PyPI package,
and a trivial bash script, basically egrep -i `newest pypi-grepfile*`.

Why ?  Grepping a local file is very fast and very simple, for old
Unix guys and simple searches:
"what's XYZ ?"

hg clone http://bitbucket.org/denisb/pypi-grep/
should get pypi-grep and pypi-grepfile-2009-06-08 or the like;
move them to a directory in your PATH.

Notes:

* the pypi-grepfile has only one version per package, the newest;
multiline summaries are folded to one long line
* pypi-grep -h  lists the few options
* the data comes from http://pypi.python.org/pypi xmlrpc,
but beware: some packages in list_packages have no
package_releases
or no releasedata, and a few releasedatas timeout
(timeout_xmlrpclib);
what you see is All you get.
* PyPI package names may contain blanks, even non-ascii
* updates ? dunno, ask me
