MS-SQL2000 XML/HTTP interface
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton March 14, 2001

March 14, 2001

the first platform-independent python db module to allow access to a microsoft SQL 2000 database has been released. it is based on andy dustman's MySQLdb module, so is close to the DB 2.0 API. this project can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyxsqmll. this project is one of those interesting necessities that "does the job for me". hence, the version number of the current release, despite being based on MySQLdb 0.3.0, is ramped down to 0.0. requirements: py-xml 0.6.2 or greater (0.6.2 confirmed working and 0.6.4 confirmed working). python 2.0 (confirmed working - lower versions not tested). Microsoft's SQL 2000 server Microsoft's IIS server with the SQL-2000 XML plug-in installed. have fun, enjoy python, it's utterly cool. ["come on i, the water's fine*snap*aaaiieee!"] luke ----- Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <lkcl(a)samba-tng.org> ----- "i want a world of dreams, run by near-sighted visionaries" "good. that's them sorted out. now, on _this_ world..."

[ANNOUNCE] Using Mix-ins with Python
by Chuck Esterbrook March 14, 2001

March 14, 2001

There is a Python article in the April 2001 issue of the Linux Journal, "Using Mix-ins with Python". It covers the general topic of mix-in programming with some comments on various languages, and then dives into Python specifics including examples. I used these concepts when creating the MiddleKit component of Webware (http://webware.sourceforge.net/), which includes a mix-in function in Webware.MiscUtils.MixIn. -Chuck -- Get web dev at http://webware.sourceforge.net/

ANN: python-cdb 0.21
by M.J. Pomraning March 14, 2001

March 14, 2001

python-cdb 0.21 --------------- cdb files are mappings of keys to values, designed for wickedly fast lookups and atomic updates. The file format is used in mission critical applications like email, DNS, RADIUS, etc. This module provides a dict-like interface to cdb files, as well as facilities for iteration and database creation. The module attempts to mimic all of the functionality of the utilities from the cdb library package. gdbm fans will be pleased to note that CDB objects support firstkey()/nextkey() iteration. See http://pilcrow.madison.wi.us/ for download and related information. See http://cr.yp.to/cdb.html for info on the cdb format. 0.21 is a feature complete (I hope) beta, tested under Python 1.5.2. It is the same as the 0.20 release, the first public release, but (thankfully) with distutils integration. Any feedback is welcome. -Mike -- MJ Pomraning mjp(a)pilcrow.madison.wi.us <A HREF="http://pilcrow.madison.wi.us/">python-cdb 0.21</A> - High-level interface to constant databases

ANNOUNCE Mailman 2.0.3
by barry＠digicool.com March 12, 2001

March 12, 2001

[I think I forgot to announce the Mailman 2.0.2 release on these mailing lists. Apologies. -Barry] I've just announced the 2.0.3 release of Mailman, the GNU Mailing List Manager. Mailman is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). I highly recommend that all sites running earlier versions of Mailman upgrade to 2.0.3. This release includes the important privacy patch from Mailman 2.0.2. Sadly, Mailman 2.0.2 contained a small but nasty typo requiring this new version. Mailman 2.0.3 is being released as both a gzip'd source tarball and as a patchfile. Mailman is software to help manage electronic mail discussion lists, much like Majordomo or Smartmail. Mailman gives each mailing list a unique web page and allows users to subscribe, unsubscribe, and change their account options over the web. Even the list manager can administer his or her list entirely via the web. Mailman has most of the features that people want in a mailing list management system, including built-in archiving, mail-to-news gateways, spam filters, bounce detection, digest delivery, and so on. Mailman is compatible with most web servers, web browsers, and mail servers. It runs on GNU/Linux and should run on any other Unix-like operating system. Mailman 2.0.3 requires Python 1.5.2 or newer. To install Mailman from source, you will need a C compiler. For more information on Mailman, including links to file downloads, please see the Mailman WWW page: http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman And its mirrors at: http://mailman.sourceforge.net http://www.list.org [Only the SourceForge and list.org sites are up-to-date at the moment, I expect the gnu.org site to be updated shortly.] If you want to download just the 2.0.2 -> 2.0.3 patch, please see: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103 There are email lists (managed by Mailman, of course!) for both Mailman users and developers. See the web sites above for details. Enjoy, -Barry

ASV 0.3 - a library for manipulating simple database formats such as CSV
by Laurence Tratt March 6, 2001

March 6, 2001

I am pleased to be able to announce the first public version of my ASV module, the successor to my own CSV.py module which many people have used over the past few years. ASV is an incompatible `from the ground up' rewrite incorprating comments CSV.py users have made over the years as well some new ideas to make the whole process of inputting, manipulating and outputting simple database formats as easy as possible. As standard, ASV can read and write CSV (Comma Seperated Values) and TSV (Tab Seperated Values) formats although it is possible to write your own input/output classes to cope with the bizarre variations that people seem to find themselves faced with from time to time. As the `main' format, the CSV handler has been designed to cope gracefully with a wide variety of input formats. The design of ASV specifically allows conversion between different formats (eg TSV -> CSV). As this is the first public release of ASV, it should be treated as a beta release - there may still be bugs and the documentation isn't entirely complete. However for those still brave enough, the download URL is: http://tratt.net/~laurie/python/asv/ Please feel free to mail me with any comments you may have at laurie(a)tratt.net Laurie <A HREF="http://tratt.net/~laurie/python/asv/">ASV 0.3 beta</A> - a library for manipulating simple database formats such as CSV (01-Mar-01)

Python 2.1b1 released
by Guido van Rossum March 2, 2001

March 2, 2001

With great pleasure I announce the release of Python 2.1b1. This is a big step towards the release of Python 2.1; the final release is expected to take place in mid April. Find out all about 2.1b1, including docs and downloads (Windows installer and source tarball), at the 2.1 release page: http://www.python.org/2.1/ WHAT'S NEW? ----------- For the big picture, see Andrew Kuchling's What New in Python 2.1: http://www.amk.ca/python/2.1/ For more detailed release notes, see SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=25924 The big news since 2.1a2 was released a month ago: - Nested Scopes (PEP 227)[*] are now optional. They must be enabled by including the statement "from __future__ import nested_scopes" at the beginning of a module (PEP 236). Nested scopes will be a standard feature in Python 2.2. - Compile-time warnings are now generated for a number of conditions that will break or change in meaning when nested scopes are enabled. - The new tool *pydoc* displays module documentation, extracted from doc strings. It works in a text environment as well as in a GUI environment (where it cooperates with a web browser). On Windows, this is in the Start menu as "Module Docs". - Case-sensitive import. On systems with case-insensitive but case-preserving file systems, such as Windows (including Cygwin) and MacOS, import now continues to search the next directory on sys.path when a case mismatch is detected. See PEP 235 for the full scoop. - New platforms. Python 2.1 now fully supports MacOS X, Cygwin, and RISCOS. [*] For PEPs (Python Enhancement Proposals), see the PEP index: http://python.sourceforge.net/peps/ I hope to see you all next week at the Python9 conference in Long Beach, CA: http://www.python9.org --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)

python-dev summary, 2001-02-15 - 2001-03-01
by Michael Hudson March 2, 2001

March 2, 2001

Thanks for all the positive feedback for the last summary! This is a summary of traffic on the python-dev mailing list between Feb 15 and Feb 28 (inclusive) 2001. It is intended to inform the wider Python community of ongoing developments. To comment, just post to python-list(a)python.org or comp.lang.python in the usual way. Give your posting a meaningful subject line, and if it's about a PEP, include the PEP number (e.g. Subject: PEP 201 - Lockstep iteration) All python-dev members are interested in seeing ideas discussed by the community, so don't hesitate to take a stance on a PEP if you have an opinion. This is the second python-dev summary written by Michael Hudson. Previous summaries were written by Andrew Kuchling and can be found at: <http://www.amk.ca/python/dev/> New summaries will appear at: <http://starship.python.net/crew/mwh/summaries/> and will continue to be archived at Andrew's site. Posting distribution (with apologies to mbm) Number of articles in summary: 400 | ]|[ | ]|[ 60 | ]|[ | ]|[ | ]|[ | ]|[ ]|[ | ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ | ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ 40 | ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ | ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ | ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ | ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ | ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ | ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ 20 | ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ | ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ | ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ | ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ | ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ | ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ ]|[ 0 +-033-037-002-008-006-021-071-037-051-012-002-021-054-045 Thu 15| Sat 17| Mon 19| Wed 21| Fri 23| Sun 25| Tue 27| Fri 16 Sun 18 Tue 20 Thu 22 Sat 24 Mon 26 Wed 28 A slightly quieter week on python-dev. As you can see, most Python developers are too well-adjusted to post much on weekends. Or Mondays. There was a lot of traffic on the bugs, patches and checkins lists in preparation for the upcoming 2.1b1 release. * backwards incompatibility * Most of the posts in the large spike in the middle of the posting distribution were on the subject of backward compatibility. On of the unexpected (by those of us that hadn't thought too hard about it) consequences of nested scopes was that some code using the dreaded "from-module-import-*" code inside functions became ambiguous, and the plan was to ban such code in Python 2.1. This provoked a storm of protest from many quarters, including python-dev and comp.lang.python. If you really want to read all of this, start here: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2001-February/013003.html> However, as you will know if you read comp.lang.python, PythonLabs took note, and in: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2001-February/013125.html> Guido announced that the new nested scopes behaviour would be opt-in in 2.1, but code that will break in python 2.2 when nested scopes become the default will produce a warning in 2.1. To get the new behaviour in a module, one will need to put from __future__ import nested_scopes at the top of the module. It is possible this gimmick will be used to introduce further backwards compatible features in the future. * obmalloc * After some more discussion, including Neil Schemenauer pointing out that obmalloc might enable him to make the cycle GC faster, obmalloc was finally checked in. There's a second patch from Vladimir Marangoz implementing a memory profiler. (sorry for the long line) <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=401229&group_id=54…> Opinion was muted about this; as Neil summed up in: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2001-February/013205.html> noone cares enough to put the time into it and review this patch. Sufficiently violently wielded opnions may swing the day... * pydoc * Ka-Ping Yee checked in his amazing pydoc. pydoc was described in <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2001-January/011538.html> It gives command line and web browser access to Python's documentation, and will be installed as a separate script in 2.1. * other stuff * It is believed that the case-sensitive import issues mentioned in the last summary have been sorted out, although it will be hard to be sure until the beta. The unit-test discussion petered out. Nothing has been checked in yet. The iteraators discussion seems to have disappeared. At least, your author can't find it! Cheers, M.

[Module] pysync 1.2
by Donovan Baarda March 2, 2001

March 2, 2001

pysync 1.2 ---------- A Python implementation of the rsync algorithm. This is a demonstration implementation of the rsync algorithm in Python. It is not fast and is not optimised. The primary aim is to provide a simple example implementation of the algorithm for reference, so code clarity is more important than performance. Ideas have been liberaly taken from libhsync, xdelta and rsync. Release 1.2 introduced the new zlib-like API, allowing for incremental calculation of deltas and applying patches. The comments at the top of pysync.py explains it all; # Low level API signature calculation sig=calcsig(oldfile) # Low level API rsync style incremental delta calc from sig and newdata delta=rdeltaobj(sig) # or for xdelta style incremental delta calc from oldfile and newdata # delta=xdeltaobj(oldfile) incdelta=delta.calcdelta(newdata) : incdelta=delta.flush() # Low level API applying incremental delta to oldfile to get newdata patch=patchobj(oldfile) newdata=patch.calcpatch(incdelta) : The rdeltaobj.flush() method supports R_SYNC_FLUSH and R_FINISH flush modes that behave the same as their zlib equivalents. Next on the TODO list is incremental signature calculation, and further cleanups. Eventualy I plan to create a md4sum module and move the rolling checksum stuff into C code. The performance has been marginaly hurt by this new API. Interestingly, the python profiler shows that most of the time is wasted performing string-copies when taking slices from input buffers, not actualy doing the rsync. This suggests that significant performance increases might be achievable by re- arranging things a bit, rather than moving python code into C. I have also added a pysync-test.py script for thorough formal testing of pysync. It generates/reuses random test files that make pysync really work hard, verifying that it behaves as it should. Incidentaly, release 1.2 also fixed a rather embarassing bug introduced in release 0.9's adler32.py that corrupted the rolling checksums, resulting in heaps of missed matches. This bug caused seriously bad performance and very large deltas.
