PyOpenGL 3.0.2 Released
PyOpenGL 3.0.2 (final, finally) has been released. The major changes since 3.0.1 (released in 2010!) are: * OpenGL core support up to 4.3 level [1] * OpenGL extension support from the current registry [1] * Some missing FreeGLUT extensions added * OpenGL.GL.framebufferobjects providing ARB/EXT alternates for framebuffer operations * Experimental OSMesa (Offscreen Mesa) context (use the environment variable PYOPENGL_PLATFORM=osmesa) Codebase changes: * Experimental Python 3.2 and PyPy support * Win64 Support (including OpenGL_accelerate) * Numarray (the ancient transitional module between Numeric and numpy) is no longer supported as an array type * More compact auto-generated wrappers * Large numbers of bug fixes Downloads are at: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyOpenGL/3.0.2 http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyOpenGL-accelerate/3.0.2 Future Compatibility Notes: * This will be the last release of PyOpenGL to support Python 2.5 (and it supports Python 2.5 in source-release only mode). o PyOpenGL will be moving to a "shared code" approach for Python 2/3 support, which makes supporting the older Python releases problematic * This will be the last release to support the use of bare numbers as number-array data-types o i.e. passing 1.00 to a function expecting an array/address of an float o Use Glfloat( 1.00 ) to pass in an array-compatible value o Passing in an int/long will generate a GLvoidp( I ) to allow for easy offset-address-style API usage * The ancient Numeric package (as distinct from Numpy) will be dropped as a supported array format o Numeric itself has long since been deprecated, use Numpy Enjoy all, Mike [1] Note: OpenGL extension and higher-level core feature support is auto-generated. As always, we are limited by the number of test programs that exercise more advanced features and the availability of hardware that can support the features on which to test -- Mike C.

[ANN] CFP: SciPy India 2012 -- Dec 27-29 -- IIT Bombay
Hello, The CFP and registration for SciPy India 2012 (http://scipy.in), to be held in IIT Bombay from December 27-29 is open. Please spread the word! Scipy In is a conference providing opportunities to spread the use of the Python programming language in the Scientific Computing community in India. One of the goals of the conference is to combine education, engineering, and science with computing through the medium of Python. This conference also aims to spread the use of Python for Scientific Computing in various fields and among different communities. Call for Papers We look forward to your submissions on the use of Python for Scientific Computing and Education. This includes pedagogy, exploration, modeling and analysis from both applied and developmental perspectives. We welcome contributions from academia as well as industry. For details on the paper submission please see here: http://scipy.in/scipyin/2012/talks-cfp/ Important Dates - Call for proposals end: 1st November 2012, Thursday - List of accepted proposals will be published: 19th November 2012. - Submission of first presentation: 10th December 2012. - Submission of final presentation: 20th December 2012. We look forward to seeing you at SciPy India.
