FourThought LLC (http://FourThought.com) announces the release of
4DOM 0.8.2
-----------------------
An XML/HTML Python library using the
Document Object Model interface
4DOM is a Python library for XML and HTML processing and manipulation
using the W3C's Document Object Model for interface. 4DOM supports
DOM all of Level 1 (core and HTML), as well as Document Traversal from
Level 2. 4DOM also adds some helper components for DOM Tree creation
and printing, python integration, white-space manipulation, etc.
4DOM can work in a CORBA* enviroment, or in a purely local set-up.
4DOM is designed to allow developers rapidly design applications
that read, write or manipulate HTML and XML.
News
----
Changes:
- Create a Reader module under Ext for importing strings into 4DOM.
Builder is now deprecated and will disappear before version 1.0
o Reader has three drivers currently: Sax and HtmlLib are
just modularized versions of the functionality that was
formerly in Builder, and Sax2 is a driver for the
as-yet experimental SAX 2 specification.
- Fixed a Builder/Reader bug for HTML input and empty, unclosed tags
such as <br>
- Fixed a bug in text normalization
- Miscellaneous bug-fixes
More info and Obtaining 4DOM
----------------------------
Please see
http://FourThought.com/4Suite/4DOM
Or you can download 4DOM from
ftp://FourThought.com/pub/4Suite/4DOM
4DOM is distributed under a license similar to that of Python.
*For CORBA users, 4DOM directly supports ILU and Fnorb.

This is the latest release of SPARK: the Scanning, Parsing, and Rewriting Kit.
(It was formerly known as "the little language framework.")
SPARK features a collection of classes which can be used to implement
little languages. Mixing and matching components is possible; you don't
have to use the entire collection of classes if you don't want to.
New in release 0.5 (see CHANGES file for a complete list):
- Scanner speed improvements.
- Interface for resolving conflicts between ambiguous grammar rules.
- Miscellaneous fixes and improvements.
Old in release 0.5:
- Generic scanner class.
- Generic parser class, which handles any context-free grammar.
- Class to automatically construct parse trees or abstract
syntax trees.
- Class for traversing trees, useful for semantic checking and
code generation.
- Class for tree pattern matching, good for code generation or
interpreter implementation.
- 100% pure Python.
Available at http://csr.uvic.ca/~aycock/python.

PySol-Cardsets 2.99
mfx - October 13th 1999, 00:02 EST
PySol-Cardsets is a collection of 16 free cardsets adapted for use with
the PySol solitaire game. It might also be interesting for authors of
other free card games.
Changes: Added the Kabale cardset and converted all pictures to RLE
encoded GIFs to avoid the infamous Unisys LZW patent.

wxPython 2.1.5
rogue - October 12th 1999, 10:28 EST
wxPython is an extension module for Python that wraps the wxWindows
cross platform GUI library, and is quickly becoming a very popular
alternative to Tkinter and PythonWin. This extension module attempts to
mirror the class hierarchy of wxWindows as closely as possible and is
very versatile. It can be used to create standalone GUI applications,
or can be used in in situations where Python is embedded in a wxWindows
C++ application as an internal scripting or macro language. Currently
supported GUIs are Win32 and GTK/X-Windows.
Changes: Some quick bug-fixes for some nasties that escaped with 2.1.4.

PySol - a Python Solitaire Game
Version 2.99
Copyright (C) 1998, 1999 Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer
<markus.oberhumer(a)jk.uni-linz.ac.at>
What is PySol ?
===============
PySol is a free solitaire card game written in 100% pure Python.
Why yet another solitaire game ?
================================
Good point. What do you think about this:
- based upon an extensible solitaire engine
- currently supports more than 40 different solitaire variants
- very nice look and feel including multiple cardsets and background
table tiles
- unlimited undo & redo
- load & save games
- player statistics
- hint system
- demo games
- support for user written plug-ins
- integrated HTML help browser
- PySol is fully portable across Unix/X11, Windows 95/98/NT and MacOS
- distributed under the GNU GPL with full source code
Yeah, I know. But what's new ?
==============================
* As compared to the previous stable version 2.14 this release
includes more than 20 new solitaire variations and an
incredible number of other improvements.
Cool. Where can I get it ?
==========================
Point your browser to http://wildsau.idv.uni-linz.ac.at/mfx/pysol.html
The PySol Gallery is awaiting your visit as well.
What do I need to start playing ?
=================================
PySol requires Python 1.5.2 and Tcl/Tk 8.0.5. Both packages are
freely available for Unix, Windows and Macintosh.
BTW, there is no need to compile anything since the whole program is just
a Python script. Just run it, and that's all.
Contributions
=============
I'm looking for people who want to contibute new games, provide
additional graphics, scan cardset packs, improve the docs, etc.
Please see the README in the distribution about details.
Have fun,
Markus

adzapper is a filtering proxy that blocks ads from being downloaded
and displayed by your web browser. Instead of ad banners, you see
blank spaces: adzapper transforms the ads into transparent gifs.
adzapper is written entirely in python, with performance and flexibility
in mind-- it's small and fast, and its filter rules are in site-specific
files
("zaplets") that are easy to make and easy to share. adzapper also
comes with many premade zaplets.
Changes: fixed a memory leak, better windows platform determination,
other minor bugfixes.

The PSA Bookstore has been freshened up and reorganized. Certain
outdated sections have been dropped, various titles dropped, added, or
moved, and most of the long pages have been broken up into several
smaller sections. Purchases through the Bookstore still earn the PSA
money, so please check it out at:
http://www.python.org/psa/bookstore/
The bookstore is also intended to be a place to read other people's
recommendations in order to find a good book for learning COM, design
patterns, or whatever topic you're in search of. This is why many of
the titles are accompanied by brief descriptions that say why the book
is useful. But many of the books still don't have descriptions; if
you want to contribute a few sentences of high praise (or low
derision) for a title, please send an e-mail to bookstore(a)python.org.
Suggestions for new books, or reports of out-of-print books, are
always welcome, too.
Here's the new list of sections, taken from the sidebar:

Folks,
I've started a low-tech Python Job Board at
http://www.python.org/Jobs.html
If you have Python related jobs that you'd like to advertise on this
page, please email webmaster(a)python.org. For space purposes, I will
only post short announcements with URLs, so you should have more
details about the job on your own site. See the instructions on the
above page.

The thingy module gives you far too many ways to manipulate a string
of bytes.
Supported list-like methods include append(), insert(), count(),
index(), remove(), reverse(), sort(), slice assignment, del T[range].
File-like methods and attributes include read(), readline(),
readlines(), write(), writelines(), seek(), tell(), truncate(),
flush(), isatty(), close(), softspace, mode, name, closed, separator.
Also, thingy objects work with most of the toys in the string and re
modules. Of course, they can meow too.
This module is written in C, and includes basic docs and Unix makefile
stuff.
Licensing is BSD style, see thingymodule.c for details.
