asyncio 0.4.1 released

2014-02-26 Thread Guido van Rossum
*** NOTE: Python 3.3 only! This module is in the stdlib in Python 3.4. ***

On the heels of Python 3.4.0rc2, I've put a new version of the asyncio
package for Python 3.3 on PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/asyncio/0.4.1

There's a source distro and a 32-bit Windows wheel. (For 64-bit Windows I
could use some help.)

About asyncio: it's a new stdlib module for asynchronous I/O based on the
"yield from" statement that was added to Python 3.3. It was inspired by
Twisted and the async support in Tornado (amongst other influences). The
original code name for the project is Tulip and this is where the latest
developments happen: http://code.google.com/p/tulip/. Also check out PEP
3156: http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-3156/.

For Python 2 and 3.2, Victor Stinner has created a backport named Trollius:

systems of coupled partial differential equations by the finite element
method. The code is based on NumPy and SciPy packages. It is distributed
under the new BSD license.

Git (source) repository, issue tracker, wiki: http://github.com/sfepy

Highlights of this release
--
- sfepy.fem was split to separate FEM-specific and general modules
- lower memory usage by creating active DOF connectivities directly from field
  connectivities
- new handling of field and variable shapes
- clean up: many obsolete modules were removed, all module names follow naming
  conventions

For full release notes see http://docs.sfepy.org/doc/release_notes.html#id1
(rather long and technical).

Best regards,
