ANNOUNCE Mailman 2.0.5
by barry＠digicool.com 07 May '01

07 May '01

I've just released version 2.0.5 of Mailman, the GNU Mailing List Manager. Mailman is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). This release fixes a problem with stale lock files that can occur under certain situations when the user hits the `Stop' button on their browser. These stale lock files can cause mailing lists to be inaccessible for long periods of time (until the stale lock file times out or is manually removed). Mailman 2.0.5 is being released as both a gzip'd source tarball and as a patch file. GNU 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 2.0.5 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 2.0.4 -> 2.0.5 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

Sybase module 0.24 (Timothy Docker release) released
by Dave Cole 07 May '01

07 May '01

What is it: The Sybase module provides a Python interface to the Sybase relational database system. The Sybase package supports almost all of the Python Database API, version 2.0 with extensions. The module works with Python versions 1.5.2 and later and Sybase versions 11.0.3 and later. It is based on the Sybase Client Library (ct_* API), and the Bulk-Library Client (blk_* API) interfaces. The 0.20 and later releases are a reimplementation of the module using a thin C wrapper on the Sybase-CT API, and a Python module to provide the DB-API functionality. It is still a work in progress, but should be good enough for most purposes. Timothy Docker sent a patch with the following changes: - con.c renamed to conn.c because NT still has the CON: device!!! - warnings from gcc -Wall fixed. - bug fix in CS_BLKDESC_blk_init() - missing & operator. - bug fix in CS_CONNECTION_ct_diag, CS_CONTEXT_cs_diag() - missing return NULL. - bug fixes to raise exception for unhandled properties in sybasect module. - ARRAY_INSERT now controlled by HAS_ARRAY_INSERT in sybasect.h - Initialisation via PyObject_HEAD_INIT() now conforms to example module in Python distribution. It should be possible to compile and install on NT. - rename max() macro to maxv() in numeric.c - created initial setup.py and ntsetup.py for use with distutils. Now you can just run the following command to install: bash$ python setup.py install Or on NT: > python ntsetup.py install Where can you get it: http://www.object-craft.com.au/projects/sybase/ - Dave -- http://www.object-craft.com.au

[Module] Matfunc.py
by Parnassus Submission 04 May '01

04 May '01

Matfunc.py ---------- Matrix, Vector and Elementwise routines plus curvefitting 100% pure python math package (does not require numPy). UserList style implementation adds elementwise operations including broadcasting (multiply a matrix by either another matrix, a vector, or a scalar. Vector class provides dot product, a norm, an outer product, and a Householder vector. Matrix class provides matrix multiplication, transpose, multiplication by vector, QR decomposition, Q-less QR decompostion, LU decomposition, inverse, and matrix divide. The matrix divide solver handles inconsistent cases and gives a least squares solution. Utility routines are provided to generate elementary matrix, and sophisticated curve fitting (polynomial fit, rational approximation, and fitting to arbitrary functions over an interval). Advanced implementation features including caching transposes, caching decompositions, exploiting structure of triangular matrices (using backsub as a solver). Has optional pre and post-condition assertions for quality assurance and documentation.

pyecasound 2.0.0 released!
by Kai Vehmanen 03 May '01

03 May '01

Below is the release announcement for ecasound 2.0.0, an advanced tool for multitrack audio processing. I'm sending the announcement here, because this is the first ecasound version to include pyecasound, a Python implementation of ecasound's ECI library interface. Licence: GPL Platform: Unix The ECI interface is specifically aimed at scripting, frontends, alternative user-interfaces and automating complicated audio processing tasks. ECI API is very compact, and is well documented. Here are links to the primary API documents: Ecasound Control Interface Documentation: - http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound/Documentation/programmers_guide/eci_d… Ecasound Interactive Mode: - http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound/Documentation/ecasound-iam_manpage.ht… One Python application already using pyecasound is Heteca - a GUI app for multitrack audio recording: - http://www.helsinki.fi/~jhalttun/heteca/ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- 1. A short summary of changes New disk subsystem optimized for streaming under high system load, ECI - a new library interface with implementations in C++, C and Python, a redesigned MIDI-subsystem, support for ALSA 0.9.x, 32bit OSS-devices, effect preset improvements, and the usual set of bug fixes. 2. What is ecasound? Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling. Ecasound supports a wide range of audio inputs, outputs and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. As most functionality is located in shared libraries, creating alternative user-interfaces is easy. A versatile console mode interface is included in the package. 3. Changes since last release * Features a new disk i/o buffering system that makes drop-out free audio streaming possible even under high system loads. For even more reliable operation, enabling realtime scheduling and using a low-latency optimized kernel is recommended. * This is the first stable release to include ECI, a library interface aimed at scripting, developing ecasound frontends, alternative user-interfaces and similar uses based around libecasound functionality. ECI is well defined and documented, and is easily portable to new languages. Implementations are provided for C, C++ and Python. * A complete redesign of the MIDI-subsystem. New features include support for multiple MIDI-devices, sending MIDI start/stop/continue and MMC messages. * New audio object types: ALSA 0.9.x, 32bit OSS devices, Ogg Vorbis and MIDI (using Timidity++). * New chain operators: pulse gate, LADSPA based metronome, tremolo and audio stamps. * New controller types: generic oscillator, amplitude-to-control gate and generic linear envelope. * Support for parametrized effect presets. This feature makes ecasound's preset system a very powerful tool for sound processing. * New utilities: ecasignalview, a ncurses-based app for monitoring signal levels. 4.
