The highlights of this release are: the addition of enaml, Shapely and several other packages, as well as updates to over 30 packages, including SciPy and IPython. To see which libraries are included in the free vs. full version, please see: http://www.enthought.com/products/epdlibraries.php The complete list of additions, updates and fixes is in the change log: http://www.enthought.com/products/changelog.php EPD 8 preview beta ------------------ EPD 8.0 beta takes all that we know and love in EPD 7.x and adds an all-new graphical development and analysis environment. The new GUI is focused on providing a fast, lightweight interface designed for scientists and engineers. Some of the key features are: * A Python-centric text editor including tab-completion plus on-the-fly code analysis. * An interactive Python (IPython) prompt integrated with the code editor to enable rapid prototyping and exploration. * A Python package manager to make is easier to discover, install, and update packages in the Enthought Python Distribution. * Integrated documentation, both on the GUI itself and standard online documentation. EPD 8 beta can be downloaded from: https://beta.enthought.com/EPD_8/download/ About EPD --------- The Enthought Python Distribution (EPD) is a "kitchen-sink-included" distribution of the Python programming language, including over 90 additional tools and libraries.

Many improvements to wxPython support, status changed from Alpha to Beta. Support for Python 3 and Tkinter added. Shortcuts can now be parametrized. Many bugfixes. Regards, Geoff Bache A bit more detail: StoryText is an unconventional GUI testing tool for PyGTK, Tkinter, wxPython, Swing and SWT along with a Python framework for testing GUIs in general. Instead of recording GUI mechanics directly, it asks the user for descriptive names and hence builds up a "domain language" along with a "UI map file" that translates this language into actions on the current GUI widgets. The point is to reduce coupling, allow very expressive tests, and ensure that GUI changes mean changing the UI map file but not all the tests. Instead of an "assertion" mechanism, it auto-generates a log of the GUI appearance and changes to it. The point is then to use that as a baseline for text-based testing, using TextTest. It also includes support for instrumenting code so that "waits" can be recorded, making it far easier for a tester to record correctly synchronized tests without having to explicitly plan for this.

It even gives you access to its own parser and compiler. It also gives you access to different other parsers for special purposes like XML and string templates. But sometimes you may want to have your own parser. This is what's pyPEG for. And pyPEG supports Unicode. pyPEG is a plain and simple intrinsic parser interpreter framework for Python version 3.x. It is based on Parsing Expression Grammar, PEG. An intrinsic parser parses directly out of and into the type and object system of the programming language, here Python 3.x. You can download pyPEG 2 via PyPI or following this link: &lt;http://fdik.org/pyPEG2/pyPEG2.tar.gz&gt; pyPEG's Documentation you can find here: &lt;http://fdik.org/pyPEG&gt; pyPEG has a Bitbucket repository at &lt;https://bitbucket.org/fdik/pypeg/&gt; pyPEG is under the GNU General Public Licence version 2. </pre> Volker Birk 2012-05-21T19:11:59 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.announce/10619 <pre>pyicl is a python package that exposes the functionality of boost.icl to python using boost.python. Documentation: http://packages.python.org/PyICL/ PyPi page: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyICL/ boost.icl is a general purpose interval container library written in C++. Its author, Joachim Faulhaber, describes it thus: "Intervals are almost ubiquitous in software development. Yet they are very easily coded into user defined classes by a pair of numbers so they are only implicitly used most of the time. The meaning of an interval is simple. They represent all the elements between their lower and upper bound and thus a set. But unlike sets, intervals usually can not be added to a single new interval. If you want to add intervals to a collection of intervals that does still represent a set, you arrive at the idea of interval_sets provided by this library. Interval containers of the ICL have been developed initially at Cortex Software GmbH to solve problems related to date and time interval computations in the context of a Hospital Information System. Time intervals with associated values like amount of invoice or set of therapies had to be manipulated in statistics, billing programs and therapy scheduling programs. So the ICL emerged out of those industrial use cases. It extracts generic code that helps to solve common problems from the date and time problem domain and can be beneficial in other fields as well. One of the most advantageous aspects of interval containers is their very compact representation of sets and maps. Working with sets and maps of elements can be very inefficient, if in a given problem domain, elements are typically occurring in contiguous chunks. Besides a compact representation of associative containers, that can reduce the cost of space and time drastically, the ICL comes with a universal mechanism of aggregation, that allows to combine associated values in meaningful ways when intervals overlap on insertion." Regards, John. </pre> John Reid 2012-05-21T08:50:52 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.announce/10618 <pre>Hi, I'm pleased to announce the availability of NumPy 1.6.2.

Lemburg 2012-05-16T07:47:58 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.announce/10611 <pre> I'm proud to release version 1.4.20 of Roundup which can be seen as a security release. 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 Chameleon and/or help with Roundup developement. If you found a bug in Chameleon support, please report after testing against latest Roundup source from the Mercurial repository. - issue2550678: Allow pagesize=-1 which returns all results. Suggested and implemented by John Kristensen. Tested by Satchidanand Haridas. (Bernhard) - Allow to turn off translation of generated html options in menu method of LinkHTMLProperty and MultilinkHTMLProperty -- default is translation as it used to be (Ralf) - Sending of OpenPGP encrypted mail to all users or selected users (via roles) is now working. (Ralf) - Add config-option "nosy" to messages_to_author setting in [nosy] section of config: This will send a message to the author only in the case where the author is on the nosy-list (either added earlier or via the add_author setting). Current config-options for this setting will send / not send to author without considering the nosy list. (Ralf) Fixed: - issue2550730: FAQ has broken link to Zope book. Reported and fixed by John Rouillard.(Bernhard) - issue2550728: remove buggy parentheses in TAL/DummyEngine.py. Reported and fixed by Ralf Hemmecke. (Bernhard) - issue2550715: IndexError when requesting non-existing file via http. Reported and fixed by Cedric Krier. (Bernhard) - issue2550712: exportcsvaction errors poorly when given invalid columns. Reported by Will Kahn-Greene, fixed by Cedric Krier. (Bernhard) - issue2550695: 'No sort or group' settings not retained when editing queries. Reported and fixed by John Kristensen. Tested by Satchidanand Haridas. (Bernhard) - Fix matching of incoming email addresses to the alternate_addresses field of a user -- this would match substrings, e.g. if the user has discuss-support&lt; at &gt;example.com as an alternate email and an incoming mail is addressed to support&lt; at &gt;example.com this would (wrongly) match. (Ralf) - issue2550729: Fix password history display for anydbm backend, thanks to Ralf Hemmecke for reporting. (Ralf) - OpenPGP support is again working (pyme API has changed significantly) and we now have a regression test. We now take care that bounce-messages for incoming encrypted mails or mails where the policy dictates that outgoing traffic should be encrypted is actually OpenPGP encrypted. (Ralf) - Ignore confirm set() fields by themselves in the absence of non-"confirm" values; otherwise a bare confirm field can be used to change the a password. Reported by Cam Blackwood. (Ralf) - Updated version of simplified Chinese message file by Cheer Xiao: Corrected some mistakes, added a few more items and did some formating. (Ralf) - Fix xmlrpc URL parsing so that passwords may contain a ':' character (Ralf) - Be more tolerant when parsing RFC2047 encoded mail headers. Use backported version of my proposed changes to email.header.decode_header in http://bugs.python.org/issue1079 (Ralf) - issue2550684 Fix XSS vulnerability when username contains HTML code, thanks to Thomas Arendsen Hein for reporting and patch. (Ralf) - issue2550711 Fix XSS vulnerability in &lt; at &gt;action parameter, thanks to "om" for reporting. (Ralf) - issue2550535 In some cases even when keep_quoted_text=yes is configured we would strip quoted sections. This hit the python bug-tracker especially for python interpreter examples with leading '&gt;&gt;&gt;' strings. The fix is slightly different compared to the proposal as this broke keep_quoted_text=no in certain cases. We also fix a bug where keep_quoted_text=no would drop the last line of a non-quoted section if there wasn't an empty line between the next quotes. (Ralf) - issue2431638 wrong registration link in bounce mail for non-registered users reported *years* ago by anonymous (Ralf) - Fix doc/upgrading.txt which produces errors with latest docutils about wrong block structure. Fix .gitignore in doc directory. Thanks to Cheer Xiao for the patches. (Ralf) - Fix wrong execute permissions on some files, thanks to Cheer Xiao for the patch. (Ralf) - Fix override of TemplatingUtils in instance.py, thanks to Cheer Xiao for the patch. (Ralf) - Fix another XSS with the "otk" parameter, thanks to Jesse Ruderman for reporting. (Ralf) - Mark cookies HttpOnly and -- if https is used -- secure. Fixes issue2550689, but is untested if this really works in browsers. Thanks to Joseph Myers for reporting. (Ralf) - Fix another XSS with the ok- and error message, see issue2550724. We solve this differently from the proposals in the bug-report by not allowing *any* html-tags in ok/error messages anymore. Thanks to David Benjamin for the bug-report and to Ezio Melotti for several proposed fixes. (Ralf) 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 2.5 or later (but not 3+) for correct operation. To give Roundup a try, just download (see below), unpack and run:: python demo.py Release info and download page: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/roundup Source and documentation is available at the website: http://roundup-tracker.org/ 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 richard&lt; at &gt;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 2.5+ (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). </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. In addition, there will a one-day version on Saturday, July 7 in Florence [2]. This is just one day after the EuroPython talks. The course will take place right at the conference venue. Advanced Python --------------- You would like to learn more about metaclasses, decorators, descriptors, context managers, comprehensions, patterns and good Python programming practices? This courses teaches all this with plenty of hands-on examples that makes these, admittedly somewhat involved topics, accessibly to everybody with intermediate Python experience.

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. Hope to meet some of you soon! --Wesley Chun - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "A computer never does what you want... only what you tell it."     wesley chun : wescpy at gmail : &lt; at &gt;wescpy/+wescpy     Python training &amp; consulting : http://CyberwebConsulting.com     "Core Python" books : http://CorePython.com     Python blog: http://wescpy.blogspot.com </pre> wesley chun 2012-05-10T18:08:18 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.announce/10606 <pre>Write shell-like scripts in pure python (and never resort to writing bash scripts again!)

Passlib is a comprehensive password hashing library for Python, supporting over 30 different hash schemes and an extensive framework for managing existing hashes. This release adds more password hashing algorithms, additional security precautions, speed improvements for selected hashes, and a general cleanup of the internal code (see the release notes for more details).

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 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.comp.python.announce
