19 Aug '99

The first meeting of the Portland, Oregon area Python interest group (PORPIGgies?) will be held Tuesday September 7, 1999 from 7:00pm to 9:00pm in the Benjamin Franklin Building, downtown Portland. The inaugural speaker will be Amos Latteier of Digital Creations speaking on "Zope and XML". He'll discuss the Zope application server and it's web object system from the perspective of XML. * DOM interface to standard Zope objects. * Using XSL as an object query language. * The XML Document Zope product, and how it exposes XML data to Zope. * Cataloging XML data. * Where XML and Zope are going. The discussion will cover some basics about Zope's object system, but will focus on its integration with XML. Even if you don't know Zope, if you have some idea of what XML is, you should be OK. The initial goals of the group are to meet the first Tuesday of each month, and have a fairly technically oriented meeting. The meeting format will consist of one or two technical presentations each followed by Q&A. Socialization will be encouraged after the presentations at a local pub. Admission is free. The entrance to the Benjamin Franklin Building is located on the corner of SW 1st Ave and SW Columbia Street in Portland. The building entrance is monitored by a security guard so it is very important that you RSVP so you can be listed at the security desk. I'll be in the lobby to greet visitors before 7:00, after that the guard will check the entrance every 5 to 10 minutes. So, please try to be here before 7:00 The address of the building is 1 SW Columbia Ave, Portland, OR 97258 Street parking is free after 6:00pm, or there is a parking structure at SW 1st and Jefferson.

19 Aug '99

Gaby 1.9.8 Frederic Peters - August 16th 1999, 00:17 EST Gaby is a small personal databases manager using GTK+ and Gnome (if available) for its GUI. It was designed to provide straight-forward access to databases a 'normal' user would like (addresses, books, ...) while keeping the ability to easily create databases for other needs. On a technical side it was designed with extensibility in mind and relies a lot on plug-ins. Changes: No major changes but _lots_ of improvements and bug fixes notably in the Python interpreter that can now do useful things. There are also new German, Norwegian and Swedish translations.

Palm-Mail 0.1 Lalo Martins - August 15th 1999, 00:40 EST Palm-mail is a small unambitious utility to convert messages from an Unix-style mailbox file (and other formats in future versions, such as MH, Maildir, and MMDF) to the Mail application in PalmOS devices (and the other way around in future versions). It was written as a quick hack to read mail on the road, as all PalmOS Mail interfaces I found can only interface to POP/SMTP and not local files. Changes: Initial release.

[fm] Alfajor 1.4
by Markus Fleck 19 Aug '99

19 Aug '99

Alfajor andrew - July 10th 1999, 16:30 EST Alfajor is an http cookie filter, written in Python with an optional GUI. It acts as an http proxy (you must configure your browser to use it) and can either contact sites directly or work with a second proxy (eg. a cache). The program allows cookies to be sent from your browser to any address which matches a list of regular expressions. The GUI allows the filter to be turned on and off, sites to be added or removed as they are accessed, and the list of regular expressions to be edited. From version 1.3 it is also possible to block all data from named sites - by chaining together two instances of the program it is possible to control cookies and block advertising.
