Hello, I'm pleased to announce that ETS 3.0.0 has just been tagged and released! Source distributions have been pushed to PyPi and over the next couple hours, Win32 and OSX binaries will also be uploaded to PyPi. This means you can install ETS, assuming you have the prereq software installed, via the simple command: easy_install ETS[nonets]
Please see the Install page on our wiki for more detailed installation instructions: https://svn.enthought.com/enthought/wiki/Install Developers of ETS will find that the projects' trunks have already been bumped up to the next version numbers so a simple "ets up" (or svn up) should bring you up to date. Others may wish to grab a complete new checkout via a "ets co ETS". The release branches that had been created are now removed. The next release is currently expected to be ETS 3.0.1 -- Dave Enthought Tool Suite --------------------------- The Enthought Tool Suite (ETS) is a collection of components developed by Enthought and open source participants, which we use every day to construct custom scientific applications. It includes a wide variety of components, including: * an extensible application framework * application building blocks * 2-D and 3-D graphics libraries * scientific and math libraries * developer tools The cornerstone on which these tools rest is the Traits package, which provides explicit type declarations in Python; its features include initialization, validation, delegation, notification, and visualization of typed attributes. More information is available for all the packages within ETS from the Enthought Tool Suite development home page at http://code.enthought.com/projects/tool-suite.php. Testimonials ---------------- "I set out to rebuild an application in one week that had been developed over the last seven years (in C by generations of post-docs). Pyface and Traits were my cornerstones and I knew nothing about Pyface or Wx. It has been a hectic week. But here ... sits in front of me a nice application that does most of what it should. I think this has been a huge success. ... Thanks to the tools Enthought built, and thanks to the friendly support from people on the [enthought-dev] list, I have been able to build what I think is the best application so far. I have built similar applications (controlling cameras for imaging Bose-Einstein condensate) in C+MFC, Matlab, and C+labWindows, each time it has taken me at least four times longer to get to a result I regard as inferior. So I just wanted to say a big "thank you". Thank you to Enthought for providing this great software open-source. Thank you for everybody on the list for your replies." — Gaël Varoquaux, Laboratoire Charles Fabry, Institut d’Optique, Palaiseau, France "I'm currently writing a realtime data acquisition/display application … I'm using Enthought Tool Suite and Traits, and Chaco for display. IMHO, I think that in five years ETS/Traits will be the most comonly used framework for scientific applications." — Gary Pajer, Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Physics, Rider University, Lawrenceville NJ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html
