moin-1.9.0 released
== MoinMoin 1.9.0 advanced wiki engine released == MoinMoin is an easy to use, full-featured and extensible wiki software package written in Python. It can fulfill a wide range of roles, such as a personal notes organizer deployed on a laptop or home web server, a company knowledge base deployed on an intranet, or an Internet server open to individuals sharing the same interests, goals or projects. A wiki is a collaborative hypertext environment with an emphasis on easy manipulation of information. The 1.9 branch brings you several new features. The download page: http://moinmo.in/MoinMoinDownload = 1.9.0 release infos = For details see the http://hg.moinmo.in/moin/1.9/raw-file/1.9.0/docs/CHANGES. == Major new features == * MoinMoin requires Python 2.4 now. * MoinMoin is now a WSGI application (based on werkzeug, http://werkzeug.pocoo.org) Please read the new install docs about how to use it, see: http://master19.moinmo.in/InstallDocs * We now offer different sized sets of system/help pages and the default underlay just contains a single page: LanguageSetup. You need to be superuser, visit that page and then install the language packs you like (minimum is the essential set for English). LanguageSetup is the default page_front_page, you need to change that after installing language packs. * New modular group and dict data access, you can use group and dict backend modules to access group and dict data stored anywhere you like. See also the new HelpOnDictionaries and HelpOnGroups pages. * Improved Xapian indexing / search. regex search with Xapian enabled also is based on the xapian index now. * Improved drawing support for twikidraw and anywikidraw see HelpOnDrawings. * Default theme is now modernized * Syntax highlighting is based on the pygments (http://pygments.org/) library now, see HelpOnParsers. * Authentication improvements for http_auth, ldap and openid * SlideShow action added * PackagePages creates package file on-the-fly in memory and send it to the client Plus lots of other features and bug fixes. MoinMoin History MoinMoin has been around since year 2000. The codebase was initally started by Jürgen Hermann; it is currently being developed by a growing team. Being originally based on PikiPiki, it has evolved heavily since then (PikiPiki and MoinMoin 0.1 consisted of just one file!). Many large enterprises have been using MoinMoin as a key tool of their intranet, some even use it for their public web page. A large number of Open Source projects use MoinMoin for communication and documentation. Of course there are also many private installations.

SuSE11.1 eclipse 64 pydev can't add python path
Hi I can install pydev using the update manager in eclipse for 64 bit from the SuSE 11.1 repo. But I can't configure pydev without crashing it. I can select the interpreter /usr/bin/python and I do see the System PYTHONPATH Forced builtin libs also looks good. But Apply gives me # # An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment: # # SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x7f2d7abebaed, pid=6544, tid=139832007596368 # # Java VM: IcedTea 64-Bit Server VM (1.7.0-b24 mixed mode linux-amd64) # Problematic frame: # V [libjvm.so+0x21baed] # # An error report file with more information is saved as: # /home/user/hs_err_pid6544.log # # If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit: # http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla # The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code. # See problematic frame for where to report the bug. That problem happens also with the recent eclipse-cpp-ganymede-SR1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz What can be the cause for this problem? Do you know a workaround e.g. manually configuring pydev? Does one have pydev or eclipse working on SuSE11.1? cheers Reimar -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: something else instead of PIL?

As far as I know it does what people want (at least it's done everything I've needed when I've used it). Why should it matter that there hasn't been an official release in two years? I am interested to get some new features added e.g. some special conversion routines for colorblind people. http://scien.stanford.edu/class/psych221/projects/05/ofidaner/colorblindness_project.htm How can that be archieved? cheers Reimar -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I work with multi-page TIF images and this seemed to be the best option. The FreeImage library seems to be actively maintained too (Last release in July 08 with updates to many of the image processing plug- ins). The python bindings took me a bit to understand as they try to emulate PIL, however they are implemented using ctypes, so you can change/manage yourself if needed. I found working directly with the functions exported from the .dll the best option and gave the best performance. Freeimage site: http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/ Python bindings: http://freeimagepy.sourceforge.net/ Hope that helps. Good luck. Working with images/graphics can make my brain hurt sometimes. g. thanks! Reimar -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
