Sept. 24, 1999

Python/Tk Empire Interface 1.10 Bernhard Reiter - September 06th 1999, 20:00 EST The Python/Tk Empire Interface (PTkEI) enables you to connect to empire 4.x.x (Wolfpack) servers. Empire is a real-time war game with long tradition. You can find out about Empire and currently running servers and other clients at its homepage. This client is an example for a truly portable cross-platform GUI, known to run on Unix, X11, Win32 and Mac. Additionally you do not give up any command line power as a player, but you have to to learn the empire commands to make use of this GUI client. Changes: Small bug fix.

PYRO 0.6 (Python Remote Objects)
by Irmen de Jong Sept. 24, 1999

Sept. 24, 1999

ANNOUNCING PYRO 0.6 Python Remote Objects by Irmen de Jong - irmen(a)bigfoot.com WHAT IT IS: Pyro is an acronym for PYthon Remote Objects. It is a basic Distributed Object Technology system written entirely in Python, and for use in Python only. With this, it closely resembles Java's Remote Method Invocation (RMI). It has less similarity to CORBA - which is a system- and language independent Distributed Object Technology and has much more to offer than Pyro or RMI. But Pyro is small, simple and free! It has some interesting features: - Naming Service which keeps record of the location of objects. The location of the NS can be discovered by use of a broadcast mechanism, if need be. - Support for Python types only restricted by those that the standard 'pickle' module handles (all builtin types, and user created classes). Objects as arguments are also supported when the code for those user defined classes is also available on the server side. - Support for all Python argument types (variable argument lists and keyword arguments, *args and **keywords). - Exceptions that occur in the remote object will actually be raised too on the client, just as if the error occured locally. Pyro's exception transportation mechanism makes this possible. - Proxy compiler which automates the task of creating wrapper (proxy) classes. - Dynamic Proxies if you don't like to have pregenerated proxies. WHERE CAN I GET IT ? >From my Python homepage: http://www.bigfoot.com/~irmen/python.html It comes with a Python-style license, but is otherwise free for commercial and non-commercial use. REFERENCE: <A HREF="http://www.bigfoot.com/~irmen/python.html">Pyro 0.6</A> - Distributed Objects system for Python.

BeOS native API modules, v0.1
by Donn Cave Sept. 24, 1999

Sept. 24, 1999

A system for the generation of dynamically loaded modules for the C++ BeOS system API. A few modules included (33), and example programs, including a usable if miminal USENET news reader. The BeOS C++ API uses virtual methods for system callbacks for things like dispatch loops. This model is preserved in the Python system, by a feature of the C++ objects that allows them to be bound to a Python class instance that can implement the virtual callback methods. I believe the general idea for this comes from a paper by Jim Ahlstrom. Each module implements only the function methods introduced by its respective API class, and imports base class modules as needed. It's work in progress: http://www.oz.net/~donn/ Donn Cave, donn(a)oz.net <A HREF="http://www.oz.net/~donn/">BeOS native API modules 0.1</A> - Python interface to the BeOS C++ API; includes example programs such as a minimal USENET news reader.

by Michael Ströder Sept. 24, 1999

Sept. 24, 1999

HI! I want to announce a new version of ldap-client-cgi.py, a WWW-LDAP-Gateway written in Python (you might have guessed it). It's available for free (GPL) from http://sites.inka.de/ms/python/ldap-client-cgi/ There's also a working demo there. I would like to encourage people to give feedback about the usability of this program. Ciao, Michael. Changes since 0.4.2 - some bug fixes - more complete and slightly faster character conversion Changes since 0.4.1 - security fix! (forgot METHOD-parameter in a <FORM>-tag) - small fixes in user interface <A HREF="http://sites.inka.de/ms/python/ldap-client-cgi/">ldap-client-cgi.py 0.4.4</A> - LDAP web client.

[fm] pagecast 2.0 alpha 1
by Markus Fleck Sept. 24, 1999

Sept. 24, 1999

Pagecast 2.0 alpha 1 Preston Landers - September 03rd 1999, 16:41 EST Pagecast submits lists of URL's to various search engines such as AltaVista, Infoseek, Excite, Google, etc to be indexed. It can run from the command-line or as a mail-robot (email a list of URL's to pagecast@yourmachine). It has a few advanced features such as the ability to rate a URL's keyword-to-title relevance and fix broken meta tags. Pagecast requires Python (with threading.) Changes: This is a development release not intended for casual users. Anyone who is interested in previewing the features that will be availible in version 2.x should check this out, but beware; few server definitions are implemented, but it should be easy enough to roll your own. Changes in this alpha release include full proxy support, plug-in server architecture, and preliminary groups support.

A Simple Mail Reader
by Moshe Zadka Sept. 24, 1999

Sept. 24, 1999

I've written a small mail reader for reading Unix mailboxes. It is command line based, and uses "less" to view the messages. Currently it is usable only if you want simple no-fuss mail reader, or to play with the code. It is available at http://starship.python.net/~moshez/cloom.tar.gz Enjoy! Feedback and comments welcome! <A HREF="http://starship.python.net/~moshez/">cloom</A> - a simple command-line mail reader for reading UNIX mailboxes.

Sept. 24, 1999

HI! I would like to announce a new beta release of my package pyCA, a set of scripts and CGI-BIN programs written in Python for setting up and running a certificate authority using OpenSSL. See http://sites.inka.de/ms/python/pyca/ for more details. I would like to ask for feedback of people using this package. Any hints for improving this package are appreciated. I do not have the possibility to test this software under other Unix environments than Linux, OpenLDAP and ApacheSSL. Changes since 0.5.4: * Many bugfixes * Small enhancements in user interface of CGI-BINs Ciao, Michael. <A HREF="http://sites.inka.de/ms/python/pyca/">pyca-0.5.5</A> - scripts and CGI-BIN programs for setting up and running a certificate authority using OpenSSL.

[fm] corbascript 1.3.1
by Markus Fleck Sept. 24, 1999

Sept. 24, 1999

[Moderator's note: CorbaScript, while being a different language, is supposed to resemble Python. The licensing situation of the implementation is not entirely clear, though, because while the web site claims that CorbaScript is an open-source project, for-fee redistribution nevertheless appears to be restricted.] CorbaScript 1.3.1 Raphaël Marvie - September 01st 1999, 23:43 EST CorbaScript is an interpreted object-oriented scripting language dedicated to CORBA environments. Scripts (i.e. CorbaScript programs) can invoke any operation, get and set any attribute of any CORBA/IIOP object. Moreover, any OMG IDL interface can be implemented by scripts. CorbaScript provides a dynamic binding to OMG IDL descriptions: no OMG IDL stub or skeleton need to be generated. OMG IDL descriptions are extracted from the Interface Repository and are made directly available to scripts.
