We've fixed several security issues, in particular some XSS issues. We've also dropped support for python 2.4 with this release. This release also introduces some minor features and, as usual, fixes some bugs: Features: - Experimental support for the new Chameleon templating engine. We now have two configurable templating engines, the old Zope TAL templates (called zopetal in the config) and the new Chameleon (called chameleon in the config). A new config-option "template_engine" under [main] can take these config-options, the default is zopetal. Thanks to Cheer Xiao for the idea of making this configurable *and* for the actual implementation! (Ralf) WARNING: Chameleon support is highly experimental and *not* recommended for production use. It has known performance issues and i18n is not yet functioning. It's still under active development. Only use this feature if you want to experiment with Chamel</pre> Ralf Schlatterbeck 2012-05-15T10:55:49 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.announce/10610 <pre>Advanced Python Courses in Leipzig and Florence =============================================== We offer our Advanced Python course [1] next month in Leipzig.

I'll be doing another hardcore Python course this summer in the San Francisco area. If you're somewhat new to Python or have tinkered but want to fill-in the holes, this course is for you. It's somewhat true you can learn Python online, watching videos, or reading books, but it still takes time and experience to master... I help accelerate this process. The course is based on my bestselling "Core Python" books and is made up of 3 full days complete with lectures and three hands-on coding labs per day. Please pass on this message to your colleagues who also need to learn Python. It's also a great excuse to coming to beautiful Northern California for a summer vacation! More details at http://goo.gl/uW4oF as well as the links in my .signature below. Since I hate spam, I'll only send out one more reminder as the date gets closer... probably around OSCON's timeframe.

This is the second maintenance release since 0.9, so no new major features were added. The biggest improvement is probably some optimizations for the array module. Other than this, the changes are mostly unrelated minor optimizations and bug fixes. Please see the release notes for more detail: http://code.google.com/p/shedskin/wiki/releasenotes Three nice new examples were also added for this release, bringing the number of examples to 67, with a total linecount of about 17,000 lines (sloccount): a "stereo vision" program, and two Rubik's cube solvers. http://code.google.com/p/shedskin/ Thanks, Mark Dufour. </pre> Mark Dufour 2012-05-09T14:20:57 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.announce/10603 <pre>Hello to everybody, and Emacs users in the Python community. Pymacs 0.25 is now available. There has been a while, so I advise current Pymacs users to switch with caution. - Python 3 is now supported. This required new installation mechanics, and a Python pre-processor written for the circumstance (named *pppp*). - Pymacs now installs a single Python file instead of a Python module. Nice thanks to Pymacs contributors. It surely has been fun working with you all! -------------------------------------- Pymacs is a powerful tool which, once started from Emacs, allows both-way communication between Emacs Lisp and Python. Pymacs aims Python as an extension language for Emacs rather than the other way around, and this asymmetry is reflected in some design choices. Within Emacs Lisp code, one may load and use Python modules. Python functions may themselves use Emacs services, and handle Emacs Lisp objects kept in Emacs Lisp space.
