ANN: EPD 7.3 (and 8 preview beta) released
Hello, I am pleased to announce the release of Enthought Python Distribution, EPD version 7.3, along with its "EPD Free" counterpart. The highlights of this release are: the addition of enaml, Shapely and several other packages, as well as updates to over 30 packages, including SciPy and IPython. To see which libraries are included in the free vs. full version, please see: http://www.enthought.com/products/epdlibraries.php The complete list of additions, updates and fixes is in the change log: http://www.enthought.com/products/changelog.php EPD 8 preview beta -- EPD 8.0 beta takes all that we know and love in EPD 7.x and adds an all-new graphical development and analysis environment. The new GUI is focused on providing a fast, lightweight interface designed for scientists and engineers. Some of the key features are: * A Python-centric text editor including tab-completion plus on-the-fly code analysis. * An interactive Python (IPython) prompt integrated with the code editor to enable rapid prototyping and exploration. * A Python package manager to make is easier to discover, install, and update packages in the Enthought Python Distribution. * Integrated documentation, both on the GUI itself and standard online documentation. EPD 8 beta can be downloaded from: https://beta.enthought.com/EPD_8/download/ About EPD - The Enthought Python Distribution (EPD) is a "kitchen-sink-included" distribution of the Python programming language, including over 90 additional tools and libraries.

StoryText 3.7 - GUI testing tool
Hi all, The 3.7 release features the following: Many improvements to SWT/Eclipse RCP support, including support for GEF applications. Many improvements to wxPython support, status changed from Alpha to Beta. Support for Python 3 and Tkinter added. Shortcuts can now be parametrized. Many bugfixes. Regards, Geoff Bache A bit more detail: StoryText is an unconventional GUI testing tool for PyGTK, Tkinter, wxPython, Swing and SWT along with a Python framework for testing GUIs in general. Instead of recording GUI mechanics directly, it asks the user for descriptive names and hence builds up a "domain language" along with a "UI map file" that translates this language into actions on the current GUI widgets. The point is to reduce coupling, allow very expressive tests, and ensure that GUI changes mean changing the UI map file but not all the tests. Instead of an "assertion" mechanism, it auto-generates a log of the GUI appearance and changes to it. The point is then to use that as a baseline for text-based testing, using TextTest. It also includes support for instrumenting code so that "waits" can be recorded, making it far easier for a tester to record correctly synchronized tests without having to explicitly plan for this.
