[ANN] bzr 2.7.0 released
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On behalf of the Bazaar team and community, I'm happy to announce availability of a new release of the bzr adaptive version control system. Bazaar <http://bazaar.canonical.com/> is a Canonical project and part of the GNU project <http://gnu.org/> to produce a free operating system. Thanks to everyone who contributed patches, suggestions, and feedback. Special thanks are due Vincent Ladeuil, without whom this release would not have made it out the door in time to be a part of the next Ubuntu Long-Term-Support release (16.04), and from whom I have been learning a great deal. Bazaar is now available for download from https://launchpad.net/bzr/2.7/2.7.0 as a source tarball. There is another source tarball that is nearly identical and equally valid (signed by the same developer) available on PyPI - the Python Package Index.[0] We used to point from PyPI to the source tarball on launchpad, but PyPI[1] now requires us to host any downloads locally. This requires an additional PKG-INFO file which is now part of our normal tarball creation process. Thus, from now on there will be no need for two tarballs. Volunteers are welcome to build a windows and an OSX installer. When those are created they will be available at the above link. Bazaar is also available for *BSD through the ports ecosystem at https://www.freshports.org/devel/bzr/ thanks to Matthew Fuller. This release marks the start of a new long-term-stable series. From here, we will only make bugfix releases on the 2.7 series (2.7.1, etc), while 2.8 will become our new development series. This is a bugfix release (20 bugs fixed) over the 2.6 series focusing on test issues triggered by various python 2.7 updates. All known fixed bugs are included here. Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series. bzr 2.7 will be the last series with active python 2.6 testing and support. Python 2.6 hasn't received any updates since v2.6.9 of 29 Oct 2013. Python 2.7.9 of 10 Dec 2014 was the oldest version to receive a security fix with ssl library's match_hostname. See http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/bzr.dev/en/release-notes/bzr-2.7.html for more details, Richard References: [0] https://pypi.python.org/pypi [1] https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0470/ PEP 0470 -- Removing External Hosting Support on PyPI -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEARECAAYFAlbB3NEACgkQp86zxxGv8LB2mACcCsQSWPY5y73koEqiTI/Bqq8r mVkAoKWs8pzvK7nmGcxgpzCEWA2oIEfr =ax6c -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations/
ANNOUNCING: Availability of a pre-alpha release of a Python CLI API and associated character-mode emulation of the pixel-mode wxPython GUI API
Members of the Python developer community might find some useful information, programming techniques, building block modules, packages and tools in the toolkit I’ve released via github: https://github.com/ https://github.com/rigordo959/tsWxGTUI_PyVx_Repository The repository includes Python 2x and 3x versions of: A cross-platform Python 2x Python 3x based Command Line Interface (CLI) API which works on various releases of Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows and Unix. A cross-platform Python 2x Python 3x based character-mode emulation of the pixel-mode wxPython Graphical User Interface (GUI) API which works on various releases of Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows (requires Cygwin plugin) and Unix. Python version-specific Site-Packages (e.g. installable via commands such as python2.6.8 setup.py install or python2.7.9 setup.py install” in ./tsWxGTUI_PyVx_Repository/SourceDistributions/Site-Packages/Python-2x”) which augments the standard Python Global Module Index Python version-independant Developer-Sandboxes (e.g. run test and tool applications in ./tsWxGTUI_PyVx_Repository/SourceDistributions/Developer-Sandboxes/Python-3x/tsWxGTUI_Py3x) which facilitates experimentation without corrupting installed Site-Packages. Python 2x Python 3x based applications and instructions in ./tsWxGTUI_PyVx_Repository/Documents/Demo.txt that demonstrate the Toolkit’s local and remote usage and coding techniques. A single python setup.py sdist” command cannot be used to release the repository via PyPI. Separate “python setup.py install” commands can be used to install the Python 2x and Python 3x site-packages. However, it is most important to keep a single repository because development and maintenance are facilitated when source code components share a common API and a single document set. Unlike host operating systems, which provide native GUI services and standard terminal emulators (8-/16-color xterm-family and non-color vt100-family without interpreting mouse input), this Toolkit emulates the wxPython 68-color palette, and association of mouse input with wxPython triggering objects (such as buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons, scroll bar buttons and sliders/gauges). Though its still a work in progress (pre-alpha), Ive released the existing source code, documentation, man-pages and draft engineering notebooks in order to solicit feedback on the features, performance and priorities of features to implement next. Richard S. Gordon --- CLI API --- A report packager/module that formats date, time, file size and nested dictionaries for creating message time stamps and configuration logs. An exception package/module for mapping various exceptions into Unix-style 8-bit error codes to facilitate coordination of multiple Python scripts. A logger package/module which creates a dated and time stamped directory in the directory from which a Python application is launched which will capture stdout/stderr, debug and curses messages. A Platform Run Time Environment package/module which builds and displays a formatted nested dictionary of Python system and host platform information. An Operator Settings Parser which extracts key-word value pair options and positional arguments using the latest available Python parser (argparse, optparse of getopt) with example code for each that can support: -h/—help -a/—about -v/—version -V/—Verbose -d/—debug --- GUI API --- A curses-based character mode emulation of the pixel-mode wxPython Graphical User Interface API It provides a pixel-mode “wxPython feeling on character-mode 8-/16-color (xterm-family) non-color (vt100-family) terminals and terminal emulators. It supports: Launching from command line interface mode Frames, Dialogs, Scrolled Windows Panels Buttons, CheckBoxes, Radio Boxes/Buttons Text Entry and Password Entry (still under development) Splash Screen display constructed or re-used during launch 68-color palette (mapped into 8-/16-color Curses palette) Logging to Screen and Files Event Handling (not yet general purpose) Task Bar (not yet capable of changing focus) Position and dimensions accepted in Pixel (default) or Character (option) cell units. Keyboard and mouse input works with: Curses CLI applications on 32-/64-bit host platform: Terminal” on GNU/Linux Terminal” on Mac OS X “Console” on Microsoft Windows with “Cygwin”, GNU/Linux-like plug-in from Red Hat “Terminal” on Unix nCurses CLI applications on 32-/64-bit host platform: XTerm and UXTerm” on GNU/Linux iTerm2 on Mac OS X “Mintty” on Microsoft Windows with “Cygwin”, GNU/Linux-like plug-in from Red Hat -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations/

ANN: elffile-0.001
Announcing the first release of elffile! Elffile is a pure python implementation of a library which reads and writes ELF format object files Current features: * Elffile is pure python so installation is easy. * Elffile has been tested on python versions 2.[67] and 3.[012]. * Reads both 32 and 64 bit formats in both big and little endian order. * Reads and writes file header, section header table, sections, and the section name string section. * Reads program header table. This is sufficient to compare two object files to determine if they are equivalent aside from having been built at different times and in different file system locations which was my initial goal. --rich -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations/

I know there have been many other answers as well, many of them quite fine, but this is the answer that I've been wanting so I'm sharing it. Coding-0.001 should be considered alpha stability. I've written it, it's pretty simple, and it has test cases, and it's now ready for others to kick it about.

ANN: Roundup Issue Tracker 1.4.16 released
I'm proud to release version 1.4.16 of Roundup which introduces some minor features and, as usual, fixes some bugs: Features: - allow trackers to override the classes used to render properties in templating per issue2550659 (thanks Ezio Melotti) - new mailgw configuration item subject_updates_title: If set to no a changed subject in a reply to an issue will not update the issue title with the changed subject. Thanks to Arkadiusz Kita and Peter Funk for requesting the feature and discussing the implementation. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bug-tracking.roundup.user/10169 - new rdbms config item sqlite_timeout makes the previously hard-coded timeout of 30 seconds configurable. This is the time a client waits for the locked database to become free before giving up. Used only for SQLite backend. - new mailgw config item unpack_rfc822 that unpacks message attachments of type message/rfc822 and attaches the individual parts instead of attaching the whole message/rfc822 attachment to the roundup issue. Fixed: - fixed reporting of source missing warnings - relevant tests made locale independent, issue2550660 (thanks Benni Bärmann for reporting). - fix for incorrect except: syntax, issue2550661 (thanks Jakub Wilk) - No longer use the root logger, use a logger with prefix roundup, see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bug-tracking.roundup.devel/5356 - improve handling of 'gt;' when URLs are converted to links, issue2550664 (thanks Ezio Melotti) - fixed registration, issue2550665 (thanks Timo Paulssen) - make sorting of multilinks in the web interface more robust, issue2550663 - Fix charset of first text-part of outgoing multipart messages, thanks Dirk Geschke for reporting, see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bug-tracking.roundup.user/10223 - Fix handling of incoming message/rfc822 attachments. These resulted in a weird mail usage error because the email module threw a TypeError which roundup interprets as a Reject exception. Fixes issue2550667. Added regression tests for message/rfc822 attachments with and without configured unpacking (mailgw unpack_rfc822, see Features above) Thanks to Benni Bärmann for reporting. - Allow search_popup macro to work with all db classes, issue2550567 (thanks John Kristensen) - lower memory footprint for (journal-) import If you're upgrading from an older version of Roundup you *must* follow the Software Upgrade guidelines given in the maintenance documentation. Roundup requires python 2.3 or later (but not 3+) for correct operation. To give Roundup a try, just download (see below), unpack and run:: roundup-demo Release info and download page: http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/roundup Source and documentation is available at the website: http://roundup.sourceforge.net/ Mailing lists - the place to ask questions: http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=31577 About Roundup = Roundup is a simple-to-use and -install issue-tracking system with command-line, web and e-mail interfaces. It is based on the winning design from Ka-Ping Yee in the Software Carpentry Track design competition. Note: Ping is not responsible for this project. The contact for this project is rich...@users.sourceforge.net. Roundup manages a number of issues (with flexible properties such as description, priority, and so on) and provides the ability to: (a) submit new issues, (b) find and edit existing issues, and (c) discuss issues with other participants. The system will facilitate communication among the participants by managing discussions and notifying interested parties when issues are edited. One of the major design goals for Roundup that it be simple to get going. Roundup is therefore usable out of the box with any python 2.3+ (but not 3+) installation. It doesn't even need to be installed to be operational, though an install script is provided. It comes with two issue tracker templates (a classic bug/feature tracker and a minimal skeleton) and four database back-ends (anydbm, sqlite, mysql and postgresql). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations/

(Richard Jones) Fixed: - User input not escaped when a bad template name is supplied (thanks Benjamin Pollack) - The email for the first message on an issue was having its In-Reply-To set to itself (thanks Eric Kow) - Handle multiple @action values from broken trackers. - Accept single-character subject lines - xmlrpc handling of unicode characters and binary values, see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bug-tracking.roundup.user/10040 thanks to Hauke Duden for reporting these. - frontends/roundup.cgi got out of sync with the roundup.cgi.Client API - Default to text/plain if no Content-Type header is present in email (thanks Hauke Duden) - Small documentation update regarding debugging aids (Bernhard Reiter) - Indexer Xapian, made Xapian 1.2 compatible. Needs at least Xapian 1.0.0 now. (Bernhard Reiter; Thanks to Olly Betts for providing the patch Issue2550647.)

Presentation subjects may range from reports on open source, academic and commercial projects to tutorials and case studies. As long as a presentation is interesting and potentially useful to the Python community, it will be considered for inclusion in the program. We're especially interested in short presentations that will teach conference-goers something new and useful. Can you show attendees how to use a module? Explore a Python language feature? Package an application? Submit your proposal here: http://pycon-au.org/cfp Sponsors Confirmed == We have confirmed several sponsors for the conference: Gold: Microsofthttp://www.microsoft.com.au/ Silver: Anchor http://anchor.com.au/ Silver: Thousand Parsec Project http://thousandparsec.net/ In Kind: Linux Australia http://linux.org.au/ Thanks to our sponsors for helping make the event a reality.

OSDC 2006's fabulous keynotes
Book before 31st October to save $50 and get a free conference t-shirt! Registrations are open for the Open Source Developers' Conference 2006: http://www.osdc.com.au/registration/index.html The conference is running in Melbourne from the 6th - 8th December, with a day of tutorials on the 5th. Keynote talks this year include: Anthony Baxter: futurepython import __future__ What does the future hold for the Python language? In this talk, we'll look at Microsoft's (Open Sourced!) IronPython and show some of the massive fun coming down the track for scripting languages thanks to .Net and Mono. We'll also cover Python 3.0 (now under development) and the PyPy (Python, in Python) project. Damian Conway: The Da Vinci Codebase When a dying operating system scrawls his name across its corrupted boot volume, Dr. Damian Conway, an unassuming college professor, is plunged into a deadly race against time to solve a series of impossible riddles. What is the mysterious Priory of Bios? And who are their deadly nemeses Opus Arai? On the run from the law and stalked by a ghostly pale killer, will he unravel the subtle clues hidden in Leonardo's most famous source code and reveal to the world the incredible secret encrypted in...the Da Vinci Codebase? Randal L. Schwartz: Free software - A look back, a look ahead A twenty year history of the free/open software movement, from my perspective of how to contribute (in many ways!) and how to make money as well. Richard Farnsworth: Open Source Synchrotron What is a Synchrotron anyway? What software needs does it has? How can Open Source help solve these? The Australian Synchrotron achieved first light in July 2005 almost exclusively filling its software needs through open source. The code base has been refined to suit local conditions, and shared with the rest of the Synchrotron open source community. By sharing information, experience and software freely between scientists and engineers, great design efficiencies have been made further aiding the development of experimental beamlines. Be a part of this fantastic conference and help it be the best developers' conference this year! If your business would like to benefit from exposure to many of Australia's best open source developers then perhaps you should consider sponsorship. We have a wide range of sponsorship options, to find out more information please visit: http://www.osdc.com.au/sponsors/index.html We look forward to sharing this great conference with you!

ANN: Stackless Python for Python 2.5
Stackless Python for Python 2.5 is now available. What is Stackless Python? = Stackless Python is an enhanced version of the Python programming language. It allows programmers to reap the benefits of thread-based programming without the performance and complexity problems associated with conventional threads. The microthreads and channels that Stackless adds to Python are cheap and lightweight conveniences which can if used properly, allow clearer and more readable code and the ability to dispatch with messy and awkward boilerplate like callbacks or the new generator coroutines. Where can I get it? === The source code can be obtained from the SVN repository which can be found here: http://svn.python.org/projects/stackless/branches/release25-maint/ Precompiled Windows binaries can be found here: http://www.stackless.com/download How might I benefit from using Stackless Python? The most useful example is the replacement socket module. This allows all socket operations to be used in parallel, no longer blocking the rest of your application, or requiring you to use threads or libraries like asyncore yourself. Monkeypatch this library in place of the one in the standard library and all modules which use the standard socket module gain the same benefit. http://www.stackless.com/wiki/Examples --8--[ asynch_fetch.py: example code courtesy of Andrew Dalke ]--8-- import sys import stacklesssocket import stackless sys.modules[socket] = stacklesssocket import urllib import time def download(uri): t1 = time.time() f = urllib.urlopen(uri) s = f.read() t2 = time.time() print Downloaded, uri, in, %.1f % (t2-t1), seconds return t2-t1 print === Serial === t1 = time.time() download(http://www.stackless.com/wiki/Tasklets;) download(http://www.stackless.com/wiki/Channels;) t2 = time.time() print ---, t2-t1 print === Parallel === t1 = time.time() stackless.tasklet(download)(http://www.stackless.com/wiki/Tasklets;) stackless.tasklet(download)(http://www.stackless.com/wiki/Channels;) stackless.run() t2 = time.time() print ---, t2-t1 --8--8-- Here are a couple of runs to show that the *same* code works in both serial and parallel modes, and that parallel really is faster (hence I'm not bandwidth limited) % spython asynch_fetch.py === Serial === Downloaded http://www.stackless.com/wiki/Tasklets in 2.6 seconds Downloaded http://www.stackless.com/wiki/Channels in 2.7 seconds --- 5.34717988968 === Parallel === Downloaded http://www.stackless.com/wiki/Channels in 4.0 seconds Downloaded http://www.stackless.com/wiki/Tasklets in 5.4 seconds --- 5.43875193596 % spython asynch_fetch.py === Serial === Downloaded http://www.stackless.com/wiki/Tasklets in 2.6 seconds Downloaded http://www.stackless.com/wiki/Channels in 2.7 seconds --- 5.32963705063 === Parallel === Downloaded http://www.stackless.com/wiki/Channels in 2.2 seconds Downloaded http://www.stackless.com/wiki/Tasklets in 2.7 seconds --- 2.71087312698 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html

Pygame.draw challenge
http://media.pyweek.org/static/pygame.draw-0606.html THE CHALLENGE: Create a game in 64kbytes of source code using only pygame. No additional libraries, no external files (even ones loaded from a network). That means no PyOpenGL, no PNGs, no OGGs. THE DEADLINE: Start as soon as you read this announcement. Human-readable, Linux-compatible entries must be received by [EMAIL PROTECTED] before midnight on the 25th of June, 2006. That's Australian Eastern Standard Time, which is UTC +10. Multiple entries are allowed. Teams are allowed. Monkeys are allowed! Ponies, sadly, are not allowed. THE RESULTS: All entries will be posted to a page on the http://www.pyweek.org/ website. Entry gameplay instructions and license must be included in the source or in the game itself. I will probably choose one of the entries as my favourite, and declare this in various obscure fora and private email messages. No other mention of rankings or favourites will be made.
