[ANNOUNCE] TMDA 0.01 - A qmail-based anti-SPAM system
by Jason R. Mastaler April 23, 2001

April 23, 2001

I'm pleased to announce the first public release of my Tagged Message Delivery Agent (TMDA). TMDA is an OSI certified Python application for qmail systems designed to significantly reduce (or eliminate) the amount of SPAM/UCE you receive by using unique, cryptographically enhanced (called tagged) e-mail addresses. TMDA can both filter your incoming e-mail, and tag your outgoing address. For complete information, visit the TMDA homepage: <URL:http://tmda.sourceforge.net/> As a teaser, TMDA has reduced my influx of SPAM from 500+ junk-messages per month down to only 1-3. Enjoy, Jason R. Mastaler (jason(a)mastaler.com) <P><A HREF="http://tmda.sourceforge.net">TMDA 0.01</A> - A qmail-based anti-SPAM system. (23-Apr-2001)

pydoc.el 1.01 - extensive Emacs/XEmacs/InfoDock interface to pydoc
by Bob Weiner April 23, 2001

April 23, 2001

This package provides ready access to Python documentation throughout an emacs editing session. The README for the package is included below. It is licensed under the same terms as Python. The package necessitated changes to python-mode.el, so the updated version of that code is included as well. Follow the installation instructions in the pydoc.el to ensure the package works properly for you. You can download the code via http from: www.deepware.com/pub/python/. I hope this speeds your Python development even further. Enjoy, Bob # SUMMARY: README for pydoc.el emacs interface to Python pydoc. # # AUTHOR: Bob Weiner # ORG: Deepware # # ORIG-DATE: 23-Apr-01 at 00:03:37 # LAST-MOD: 23-Apr-01 at 00:16:15 by Bob Weiner # # Copyright (C) 2001 Bob Weiner # Licensed under the Python license version 2.0 or higher. # # DESCRIPTION: pydoc.el is an Emacs/XEmacs/InfoDock interface to the Python pydoc system. It provides convenient integration with powerful programming editors, speeding both Python learning and day-to-day access of reference documentation while programming.

It is global so you may examine Python documentation whenever needed, regardless of whether you have a Python code buffer on screen. The following commands are available, each invoked by typing the first character of the command name when prompted with the menu. A)propos <term> - list modules/packages with <term> in their first line doc strings H)elp <term> - display doc for name <term> or string literal '<term>' K)eyword <keyword> - with completion, display doc for a Python <keyword> M)odule <name> - with completion, display doc for a Python module <name> P)ackage <name> - with completion, display doc for a Python package <name> T)opic <topic> - with completion, display Python reference doc for <topic> X)ref <term> - with completion, display doc for a pydoc cross-reference within a Python reference manual section ? - show the above help C-g - abort from menu # DESCRIP-END. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

ANNOUNCE: Newer 2.1 RPMs.
by Sean Reifschneider April 22, 2001

April 22, 2001

Not only did the last announcement contain errors, so did the package. <sigh> Here an updated announcement, use these ones instead of the 2.1-3 version. IDLE now works as well. If anyone wants to contribute to this project, I have a few ideas on how to make an RPM verification tool. ;-) Sean =========================== Through a quirk in RPM, the 2.1-2 RPMs still had pymalloc enabled. I've added some work-arounds to resolve this. Thanks to Ron Bickers for pointing it out (and to Kevin Fenzi for the GHz Athlon box on which I did a few dozen builds to come up with the work-around ;-). Also new in this version is the "tools" sub-package, including the contents of the "Tools" directory, and IDLE can be run via "/usr/bin/idle". Thanks to Jason R. Mastaler for the -tools suggestion. You can find the SRPM at: ftp://ftp.tummy.com/pub/tummy/RPMS/SRPMS/python2-2.1-4.src.rpm And binaries for RedHat/KRUD 7.0 at: ftp://ftp.tummy.com/pub/tummy/RPMS/binaries-KRUD-7.0-i386/ where you'll find the packages: python2-2.1-4.i386.rpm python2-devel-2.1-4.i386.rpm python2-tkinter-2.1-4.i386.rpm python2-tools-2.1-4.i386.rpm NOTE: There are also "python-*" versions of these packages, which are configured to install "/usr/bin/python" instead of "/usr/bin/python2". Only pick up one of the "python2-*" or "python-*" package sets. Sean -- Examine what is said, not who speaks.
