EuroPython 2016: Dates and URL available
The EuroPython 2016 Team is pleased to account the dates for EuroPython 2016 in Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain: Sunday, July 17 - Sunday, July 24 2016 Pre-launch Website -- To keep you updated, we have put together a pre-launch website for the conference: *** http://ep2016.europython.eu/ *** Beginners’ Day -- You may wonder why we’re having an extra day for the conference. Here’s the plan: In 2015, we introduced Beginners’ Day as a new format to EuroPython providing special introductions and tutorials for Python beginners. The project was a great success. For the 2016 edition, we are planning to dedicate Sunday before the main conference as Beginner’s Day, so we’ll have the following conference layout: * Sunday, July 17: Beginners’ day & registration * Monday, July 18 - Friday, July 22: Main conference & trainings * Saturday, July 23 - Sunday, July 24: Sprints Looking for Launch Sponsors --- We will launch the conference website in December. If your company would like to sponsor EuroPython 2016 and get extra attention by being one of our launch sponsors, please check our sponsor page for details.

PyCA cryptography 1.1.1 released
PyCA/cryptography (https://github.com/pyca/cryptography) 1.1.1 has been released. cryptography is a package which provides cryptographic recipes and primitives to Python developers. Our goal is for it to be your "cryptographic standard library". We support Python 2.6-2.7, Python 3.3+, and PyPy. Changelog: * Fixed several small bugs related to compiling the OpenSSL bindings with unusual OpenSSL configurations. * Resolved an issue where, depending on the method of installation and which Python interpreter they were using, users on El Capitan (OS X 10.11) may have seen an InternalError on import. Thanks to the users who donated their time in tracking down and resolving these issues. -Paul Kehrer (reaperhulk) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations/
pytest-2.8.3 released - bug fixes
Hello Everyone, i'm pleased to announce the release of pytest-2.8.3: bug fixes === pytest is a mature Python testing tool with more than a 1100 tests against itself, passing on many different interpreters and platforms. This release is supposed to be drop-in compatible to 2.8.2. See below for the changes and see docs at: http://pytest.org As usual, you can upgrade from pypi via:: pip install -U pytest Thanks to all who contributed to this release, among them: Bruno Oliveira Florian Bruhin Gabe Hollombe Gabriel Reis Hartmut Goebel John Vandenberg Lee Kamentsky Michael Birtwell Raphael Pierzina Ronny Pfannschmidt William Martin Stewart Happy testing, The py.test Development Team 2.8.3 (compared to 2.8.2) - - fix #1169: add __name__ attribute to testcases in TestCaseFunction to support the @unittest.skip decorator on functions and methods. Thanks Lee Kamentsky for the PR. - fix #1035: collecting tests if test module level obj has __getattr__(). Thanks Suor for the report and Bruno Oliveira / Tom Viner for the PR. - fix #331: don't collect tests if their failure cannot be reported correctly e.g. they are a callable instance of a class. - fix #1133: fixed internal error when filtering tracebacks where one entry belongs to a file which is no longer available. Thanks Bruno Oliveira for the PR. - enhancement made to highlight in red the name of the failing tests so they stand out in the output. Thanks Gabriel Reis for the PR. - add more talks to the documentation - extend documentation on the --ignore cli option - use pytest-runner for setuptools integration - minor fixes for interaction with OS X El Capitan system integrity protection (thanks Florian) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations/
devpi-{server,web}-2.5.0 perf/bug fix releases
We just released devpi-{server,web}-2.5.0 to pypi, see changelogs below
for more details. While it's not required to do an export/import cycle
for this release it's recommended especially if you are running with replicas.
Docs for the private pypi packaging server at: http://doc.devpi.net
Thanks to Florian Schulze, Jason R. Coombs and all issue reporters.
For your information, we are now starting work for devpi-server-3.0
which will introduce further speedups, internal code simplifications
and new features (like mirroring from arbitrary pypi-servers).
cheers,
holger krekel
server-2.5.0 (2015-11-19)
-
- fix a regression of 2.3.0 which would cause many write-transactions
for mirrored simple-page entries that didn't change. Previous to the fix,
accesses to mirrored simple pages will result in a new
write-transaction every 30 minutes if the page is accessed which
is likely on a somewhat busy site. If you running with replicas
it is recommended to do an an export/import cycle to remove all
the unneccessary writes that were produced since devpi-server-2.3.0.
They delay the setup of new replicas considerably.
- add info about pypi_whitelist on simple page when root/pypi is blocked for
a project.
- replica simple-page serving will not unneccessarily wait for new
simple-page entries to arrive at the replication side if the master
does not return any changes in the initial simple-page request.
Previously a replica would wait for the replication-thread to catch
up even if no links changed.
- fix setup.py to work on py34 and with LANG="C" environments.
Thanks Jason R. Coombs.
- fix issue284: allow users who are listed in acl_upload to delete packages
web-2.5.0 (2015-11-19)
--
- fix issue288: classifiers rendering wrong with read only data views
- index.pt, project.pt, version.pt: added info about pypi_whitelist. This
requires devpi-server > 2.4.0 to work.
- fix issue286: indexing of most data failed due to new read only views
