Blurb:

GObject is a object system library used by GTK+ and GStreamer.

PyGObject provides a convenient wrapper for the GObject library for use
in Python programs, and takes care of many of the boring details such as
managing memory and type casting.  When combined with PyGTK, PyORBit and
gnome-python, it can be used to write full featured Gnome applications.

Like the GObject library itself PyGObject is licensed under the
GNU LGPL, so is suitable for use in both free software and proprietary
applications.  It is already in use in many applications ranging
from small single purpose scripts up to large full
featured applications.

PyGObject requires glib >= 2.22.4 and Python >= 2.3.5 to build.
GIO bindings require glib >= 2.22.4.

Please remember that this is an unstable release and shouldn't be used
in production.

cheers

pySerial 2.5-rc2 (2nd release candidate)

2010-01-03 Thread Chris Liechti
I'm happy to announce a release candidate of pySerial: 2.5-rc2

  http://pyserial.sourceforge.net/

Whats new since rc1:
- Several small bugfixes.
- updated RFC2217 implementation, client support.
- changed Posix read implementation (error handling for disconnected
  devices)
- See CHANGES.txt in the distribution for full list.

Source archive and Windows installers can be downloaded from here:

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyserial/files/

The Windows installer for Python 3.x has py3k in its name, the other one
is for Python 2.x. The source archive's setup.py should automatically
convert using 2to3 when run with Python 3.x.

What is pySerial? Quoting from the home page:

This module encapsulates the access for the serial port. It provides
backends for Python running on Windows, Linux, BSD (possibly any POSIX
compliant system), Jython and IronPython (.NET and Mono). The module
named "serial" automatically selects the appropriate backend.
