Pybliographer 0.9.4
Fred - September 27th 1999, 15:22 EST
Pybliographer is a tool for managing bibliographic databases. It currently
supports BibTeX (read/write), Ovid and Refer (read only) files, SGML
DocBook (write only). It can be used for searching, editing, reformatting,
etc, through its nice graphical interface for GNOME. Due to its nature, it
can be extended to many uses (generating HTML pages according to
bibliographic searches, etc). It is provided with sample scripts.
0.9.3 Changes: Fixed a problem with portuguese accents, added support for
lineage in author fields (type it as last name, lineage, first name),
added embryo of bibliography generation, it is possible to define a
bibliographic style (i.e. how an entry should appear in your document) and
to use this style in several formats (LaTeX, HTML, text for the moment).
There is only one style (alpha), provided more as an example as it is not
complete.
0.9.4 Changes: Fixed stupid bugs concerning strings in LaTeX and a problem
with opening and formatting. One should never release just before
leaving...

FreeWorld BBS is a BBS package for the Unix operating system. It
currently is still in it's early stages and is not even close to being

configurable. It consists of a menu shell, forum system, server, and
some sysop utilities.
Changes: This release contains the begining of the message areas, the
menu shell now has support to run python scripts and the setup program
and libraries have also had many additions and fixes since 0.2.2

I have just released gnome-python-1.0.40, the bindings that allow you to
write gnome programs with the python language. This release is mainly a
bug fix release, but it does add a few features such as GnomeDruid support
and gnome support in the libglade module.
It is available from
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-python/
The pygtk package (which is contained in gnome-python) will soon be
available from:
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/python/
Please test this release and report any bugs you find either directly to
me, or through the GNOME bug tracker.

Announce: Release of Scintilla 1.01 and SciTE 1.01
Scintilla is a free source code editing component for Win32
and GTK+. SciTE is a SCIntilla based Text Editor.
This is a minor release of Scintilla and SciTE containing
contributed patches, minor features, performance improvements
and bug fixes. There is a new domain, scintilla.org for this
project. Two mailing lists, one for announcements and one for
discussions are hosted by scintilla.org.
As Scintilla/SciTE versions often have no Python specific
changes, this will be the last announcement made to
comp.lang.python.announce. Future announcements will be made
on the scintilla-announce list and http://freshmeat.net/
Python specific development is still being done, but this
is mostly for the PythonWin environment which incorporates
Scintilla.
Web site: http://www.scintilla.org/
Scintilla and Tide come with complete C++ source code.
The license for using Scintilla and Tide is similar to that
of Python containing very few restrictions, and allowing
use in any free project or commercial product.

Python Module Distribution Utilities
release 0.1
September 29, 1999
The Python Module Distribution Utilities, or Distutils for short, are a
collection of modules that aid in the development, distribution, and
installation of Python modules. (It is intended that ultimately the
Distutils will grow up into a system for distributing and installing
whole Python applications, but for now their scope is limited to module
distributions.)
The Distutils will be a standard part of Python 1.6. This release is
intended to provide a wider audience an early opportunity to try out the
system, improve its portability, shake out the bugs, make suggestions,
and so forth. Do not expect perfection: if you're trying out this
release, it should be because you want to help debug and develop, not
because you need a stable, working system immediately.
You can download the Distutils from the Distutils SIG home page:
http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/
Any feedback, comments, bug reports, success reports, etc. should be
reported to the Distutils SIG at
distutils-sig(a)python.org
If you're not yet a member of this mailing list, you can join at
http://www.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
Reports of minor bugs (patches are especially welcome!) can be sent
directly to me (Greg Ward) at gward(a)python.net. Anything that expects a
longer response than "Thanks for the bug report/fix!" should be directed
to the SIG.

early preview version of the Python Module Distribution Utilities, a
collection of modules that aid in the development, distribution, and
installation of Python modules; will become a standard part of
