I'm pleased to announce version 1.3.1, the first bug-fix release of branch 1.3 of SQLObject. What is SQLObject ================= SQLObject is an object-relational mapper. Your database tables are described as classes, and rows are instances of those classes. SQLObject is meant to be easy to use and quick to get started with. SQLObject supports a number of backends: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Firebird, Sybase, MSSQL and MaxDB (also known as SAPDB).

You can now buy tickets [2] at the early-bird rate until end of June before prices will go up. Don't miss the opportunity to come the larges meeting of the German-speaking Python community and secure your ticket now. If you plan not only to come but also to contribute, you can submit a proposal for a talk or a tutorial [3]. A wide variety of Python-related topics are welcome. The second PyCon DE will be in Leipzig from October 29 through November 3, 2012. One tutorial day, three days with talks and two days with a barcamp, code retreat and sprints will provide different ways to communicate about Python. There will be social events to give everybody ample opportunity to network with like-minded Pythonistas.

This project was created and lead by Limodou &lt;limodou&lt; at &gt;gmail.com&gt;. License ------------ Uliweb is released under BSD license. Infrastructure ---------------- Uliweb was not created totally from scratch. It uses some modules created by other developers, for example: * Werkzeug Used to handle core processes in the framework. For example: command line tools , URL Mapping, Debug, etc. * SqlAlchemy The ORM based on it. Developers can access databases, or use the module separately. I also referenced some code from other web frameworks, for example: * The Templating system is styled after the one used in web2py several improvements were made.

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 t</pre> Geoff Bache 2012-05-23T13:29:46 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.announce/10622 <pre>pytest-2.2.4: bug fixes, better junitxml/unittest/python3 compat =========================================================================== pytest-2.2.4 is a minor backward-compatible release of the versatile py.test testing tool.

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://comments.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</pre> John Reid 2012-05-21T08:50:52 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.announce/10618 <pre>Hi, I'm pleased to announce the availability of NumPy 1.6.2.

Existing data is now left alone. * Fixed handling of IMAP servers that return all-digit folder name without quotes. Thanks to Rhett Garber for the bug report. * Much improved test coverage (again, in preparation for Python 3 support) * Fixed rename live test so that it uses folder namespaces * STATUS responses are now parsed more robustly - fixes folder_status() with MS Exchange. * Numerous livetest fixes to work around oddities with the MS Exchange IMAP implementation.

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.
