winpysetup 1.1: easy setup of multiple python versions on a clean windows system
by Anthon van der Neut 25 May '15

25 May '15

I am happy to announce the availability of a new version of winpysetup changes: - this version is capable of generating itself by setting up the necessary Python 2.3 version and running py2exe - minimal run time environment (removed code inherited from original project) - test on appropriate .exe version fron winpysetup.py - 2.7.10 release candidate url replaced by final. Which is now the default for which the utilities are installed. - tested on WinXP 64 - added download targets for Cygwin, with an example project for installing cygwin including ssh server (currently only tested on Win XP 64 without firewall) version 1.1 dd 2015-05-25 Winpysetup ( https://bitbucket.org/ruamel/winpysetup/ ) allows setting up a clean testing environment on Windows for multiple python versions without downloading and installing MSI installers, prerequisites, all the time waiting for the last to finish in order to click a few options to start the next install. - install Windows (or clone your clean Windows Virtual Machine) - Download winpysetup.exe and start it. ( https://bitbucket.org/ruamel/winpysetup/downloads/winpysetup.exe ) - Once the program is done (now is a good time to make another snapshot if you run Windows in a VM), open a new Command Prompt (to get the change in PATH) and change to a directory without spaces in the path (e.g. C:\src). - Run: hg clone --insecure https://hg@bitbucket.org/ruamel/minimal - Change to the minimal directory and run tox. - Watch how tox invokes py.test succesfully against Python 2.7/2.6/3.3/3.4 and pypy (you can of course run tox immediately on your own, more interesting, code as well). Installed items include: pip, easy_install, mercurial, tox, detox, py.test and the Visual C compiler for Python 2.7 (e.g. needed for mercurial) Special hooks can change the behavior of the installer. In particular: - the list of python versions to install can be easily extended/reduced - the list of default packages to install can be extended/reduced winpysetup has been testen on: WinXP with Service Pack 2 (32 and 64 bit) Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit) Feedback is welcome, in particular if tested on other Windows environments to which I currently don't have access.

[RELEASED] Python 3.5.0b1 is now available
by Larry Hastings 24 May '15

24 May '15

On behalf of the Python development community and the Python 3.5 release team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Python 3.5.0b1. Python 3.5 has now entered "feature freeze". By default new features may no longer be added to Python 3.5. (However, there are a handful of features that weren't quite ready for Python 3.5.0 beta 1; these were granted exceptions to the freeze, and are scheduled to be added before beta 2.) This is a preview release, and its use is not recommended for production settings. Three important notes for Windows users about Python 3.5.0b1: * If you have previously installed Python 3.5.0a1, you may need to manually uninstall it before installing Python 3.5.0b1 (issue23612). * If installing Python 3.5.0b1 as a non-privileged user, you may need to escalate to administrator privileges to install an update to your C runtime libraries. * There is now a third type of Windows build for Python 3.5. In addition to the conventional installer and the web-based installer, Python 3.5 now has an embeddable release designed to be deployed as part of a larger application's installer for apps using or extending Python. During the 3.5 alpha releases, this was an executable installer; as of 3.5.0 beta 1 the embeddable build of Python is now shipped in a zip file. You can find Python 3.5.0b1 here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-350b1/ Happy hacking, //arry/

Released: pip 7.0 and virtualenv 13.0
by Donald Stufft 21 May '15

21 May '15

Hey, I'm happy to say that I've just cut the releases of pip 7.0 and virtualenv 13.0 and I have uploaded them to PyPI. For the full list of changes go visit the respective changelogs, however the biggest change here is that in pip 7.0 when pip finds and downloads a sdist, instead of installing that sdist directly it will instead build a wheel of that and cache it locally. From then on out it will use that cached wheel to install instead of downloading and building the sdist each time. This can have a profound impact upon installation speed. For instance, taking a look at the popular lxml library: # Without a locally cached wheel $ time pip install lxml ... pip install lxml 36.00s user 1.40s system 98% cpu 38.117 total # The next time, with a primed cache. $ time pip install lxml ... pip install lxml 0.61s user 0.10s system 94% cpu 0.750 total Some important notes about this new feature: * If the wheel project is not installed, then this feature will be disabled, however get-pip.py and virtualenv both will now install wheel by default. * If attempting to actually *build* the wheel fails for any reason, it will fall back to the older method of simply installing the sdist directly. * If a project cannot be installed correctly from a wheel, but it can successfully build a wheel, you can disable using wheels for that project by adding the flag --no-binary project1,project2,project3 to tell pip not to use binaries for those projects. You can use the :all: psuedo identifier to disable all wheels. I'm pretty excited about this release, caching built wheels is going to result in a tremendous speedup for a lot of common cases. As with any big change there is a pretty good change that this will cause breakages for some percentage of projects as well as have bugs within the system itself. As always, if you find a bug please feel free to open an issue up on the pip issue tracker at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues. --- Donald Stufft PGP: 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
