PyMailGUI standalone release
There is a new standalone release of PyMailGUI - a POP/SMTP email client which is a major example in a large Python book (shameless plug omitted). This release's code is identical to that in the book, but has a different launcher and a self-contained package structure for standalone use. PyMailGUI is a bit limited because it was written for use as a teaching tool in a book. On the other hand, it does threading, MIME attachments, Unicode, and more, and is useful enough to have served as its author's primary email tool for over a decade. It may also reduce the probability of your email being read by a giant evil company without your consent.

tox-2.3.0: bug fixes, new plugin hooks
Just released tox-2.3.0, the python test configuration and automation tool. It brings some important bug fixes and more hooks related to testenvironment creation and installation, allowing upcoming plugins like tox-debian to add extra steps during installation. I'd like to send special thanks to the Tryton foundation who organized some funding in order to tackle the proper fixing of a serious regression of tox-2.2 (see changelog below). thanks also to David Stanek, Julien Castets, Nelfin for their contributions. You'll find the current docs for tox here: https://testrun.org/tox/latest/ and have fun, holger krekel -- about me:http://holgerkrekel.net/about-me/ contracting: http://merlinux.eu 2.3.0 - - DEPRECATE use of "indexservers" in tox.ini. It complicates the internal code and it is recommended to rather use the devpi system for managing indexes for pip. - fix issue285: make setenv processing fully lazy to fix regressions of tox-2.2.X and so that we can now have testenv attributes like "basepython" depend on environment variables that are set in a setenv section. Thanks Nelfin for some tests and initial work on a PR. - allow "#" in commands. This is slightly incompatible with commands sections that used a comment after a "\" line continuation. Thanks David Stanek for the PR. - fix issue289: fix build_sphinx target, thanks Barry Warsaw. - fix issue252: allow environment names with special characters. Thanks Julien Castets for initial PR and patience. - introduce experimental tox_testenv_create(venv, action) and tox_testenv_install_deps(venv, action) hooks to allow plugins to do additional work on creation or installing deps. These hooks are experimental mainly because of the involved "venv" and session objects whose current public API is not fully guranteed. - internal: push some optional object creation into tests because tox core doesn't need it. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations/
Pylint and Pylint's Astroid projects moved to the Python Code-Quality Authority
Hi everyone! It's my pleasure to announce to you that PyLint and its Astroid library have migrated to git from mercurial and have migrated from BitBucket to the Python Code-Quality Authority (PyCQA) organization on GitHub. The new URLs are: - PyLint: https://github.com/pycqa/pylint - Astroid: https://github.com/pycqa/astroid For those who do not know, Pylint (http://www.pylint.org/) is a Python source code analyzer which looks for programming errors, helps enforcing a coding standard and sniffs for some code smells. Astroid provides a common base representation of python source code for projects such as pychecker, pyreverse, pylint.
