Hi all,
just uploaded execnet-1.0.0 to PyPI, a standalone-no-dependency
package for elastic Python code distribution.
execnet enables zero-install ad-hoc instantiation of local or remote Python
processes. It establishes channels for basic data communication using a simple
serialization scheme that works well across Python2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 3.1 and Jython
interpreters. execnet is extensively used for testing purposes, for distributed
computing scenarios and for sysadmin tasks.
execnet-1.0.0 (compared to 1.0.0b3) has bug fixes, new tested
examples and introduces execnet.Group for managing a dynamic
bunch of hosts. See the improved docs
http://codespeak.net/execnet/
and below the changelog. I am bound to improve and develop
execnet further and thus am very interested in feedback
and suggestions.
cheers,
holger
1.0.0
--------------------------------
* introduce execnet.Group for managing gateway creation
and termination. Introduce execnet.default_group through which
all "global" calls are routed. cleanup gateway termination.
All Gateways get an id through which they can be
retrieved from a group object.
* deprecate execnet.XYZGateway in favour of direct makegateway() calls.
* refine socketserver-examples, experimentally introduce a
way to indirectly setup a socket server ("installvia")
through a gateway url.
* refine and automatically test documentation examples
1.0.0b3
--------------------------------
* fix EXECNET_DEBUG to work with win32
* add support for serializing longs, sets and frozensets (thanks
Benjamin Peterson)
* introduce remote_status() method which on the low level gives
information about the remote side of a gateway
* disallow explicit close in remote_exec situation
* perform some more detailed tracing with EXECNET_DEBUG
1.0.0b2
--------------------------------
* make internal protocols more robust against serialization failures
* fix a seralization bug with nested tuples containing empty tuples
(thanks to ronny for discovering it)
* setting the environment variable EXECNET_DEBUG will generate per
process trace-files for debugging
1.0.0b1
----------------------------
* added new examples for NumPy, Jython, IronPython
* improved documentation
* include apipkg.py for lazy-importing
* integrated new serializer code from Benjamin Peterson
* improved support for Jython-2.5.1
1.0.0alpha2
----------------------------
* improve documentation, new website
* use sphinx for documentation, added boilerplate files and setup.py
* fixes for standalone usage, adding boilerplate files
* imported py/execnet and made it work standalone
