ANN: distlib 0.2.8 released on PyPI

[Vinay Sajip via Python-announce-list]

I've recently released version 0.2.8 of distlib on PyPI [1]. For 
newcomers,distlib is a library of packaging functionality which is intended to 
beusable as the basis for third-party packaging tools.
The main changes in this release are as follows:
* Fixed #107: Updated documentation on testing to include information on  
setting PYTHONHASHSEED.
* Fixed #108: Updated metadata scan to look for the METADATA file as well as 
the  JSON formats.
* Fixed #109: Removed existing files (which might have been symlinks) before  
overwriting.
* Fixed #111: Avoided unnecessary newlines in script preambles, which caused  
problems with detecting encoding declarations. Thanks to Wim Glenn for the  
report and patch.
* Fixed #112: Handled wheel tags and platform-dependent downloads correctly in  
SimpleScrapingLocator.
A more detailed change log is available at [2].
Please try it out, and if you find any problems or have any suggestions for 
improvements,please give some feedback using the issue tracker! [3]

Vinay Sajip

Nikola v8.0.1 is out!

[Chris Warrick]

On behalf of the Nikola team, I am pleased to announce the immediate
availability of Nikola v8.0.1. Some bugs were fixed; more importantly,
we pinned down the Markdown package version due to incompatibilities.

What is Nikola?
===

Nikola is a static site and blog generator, written in Python.
It can use Mako and Jinja2 templates, and input in many popular markup
formats, such as reStructuredText and Markdown — and can even turn
Jupyter Notebooks into blog posts! It also supports image galleries,
and is multilingual. Nikola is flexible, and page builds are extremely
fast, courtesy of doit (which is rebuilding only what has been changed).

Find out more at the website: https://getnikola.com/

Downloads
=

Install using `pip install Nikola`. (Python 3-only since v8.0.0.)

Changes
===

* Not compatible with Markdown 3.x yet, this release pins the
  requirement down to 2.x (until we get 3.x support done)

Features


* Make URL displayed by ``nikola auto`` and ``nikola serve`` clickable
  (Issue #3166)

Bugfixes


* Pandoc compiler was passing deleted argument (Issue #3171)
* Make ``nikola version --check`` work again (Issue #3170)
* Set logging level for reST to warning in order to limit noise
* Fix docinfo removal for sites that use reST docinfo metadata
  (Issue #3167)

EuroPython 2019: Seeking venues

[M.-A. Lemburg]

Dear EuroPython'istas,

We are in preparations of our venue RFP for the EuroPython 2019
edition and are asking for your help in finding the right locations
for us to choose from.

If you know of a larger venue - hotel or conference center - that can
accommodate at least 1400 attendees, please send the venue details to
bo...@europython.eu. We will then make sure to include them in our RFP
once we send it out.

The more venues we gather to reach out to, the better of a selection
process we can guarantee, which in return, will ultimately result in a
better conference experience for everybody involved.

When sending us venue suggestions, please make sure to provide us with
the following: name and URL of the venue, country and city, as well as
the contact details of the sales person in charge of inquiries (full
name, email and phone).

We were planning to start the RFP process in the coming days, so
please make sure you send us your recommendations as soon as possible.


Help spread the word


Please help us spread this message by sharing it on your social
networks as widely as possible. Thank you !

 Hi all,

It fills us with astronomical joy to announce the release of poliastro
0.11.0! 🚀

poliastro is a pure Python library that allows you to simulate and analyze
interplanetary orbits in a Jupyter notebook in an interactive and easy way,
used in academia and the industry by people from all around the world. You
can install it using pip or conda:

pip install poliastro
conda install poliastro --channel conda-forge

This release brought some new features related to the three body problem,
as well as important changes related to how reference frames are handled in
poliastro. The issue with reference frames is an old one and with this
release we are a step closer to closing it.

endesive - 0.3.0

[Grzegorz Makarewicz]

Python library for digital signing and verification of digital signatures in 
mail, PDF and XML documents.

The ASN.1 implementation depends on asn1crypto. Cryptographic routines depend 
on oscrypto and cryptography libraries, so everything is 'pure python'.

For certificate verification OpenSSL is used but I would not trust it, next 
version should switch to certvalidator or cryptography.

This library implements S/MIME handler which can encrypt and decrypt S/MIME 
messages using a public RSA key, in AES-128/192/256 CBC/OFB modes. It can also 
sign and verify S/MIME messages.

This library implements CAdES-B handler for signing and verifying PDF documents 
in Adobe.PPKLite/adbe.pkcs7.detached form. It can sign documents during 
generation using a modified version of pyfpdf which is included in this 
library. It can also sign documents generated by external programms.

This library implements XADES-BES handler for creating signed xml files.

This library implements CMS handler for signing and verifying plain text files 
with detached signature files.

This software is licensed under the MIT License.
