ANN: MkSQL release 0a0
by Gordon McMillan 02 Sep '01

02 Sep '01

The first alpha release of MkSQL is here: http://www.mcmillan-inc.com/mksqlintro.html What is it? MkSQL is a Python package which implements a SQL front end to the MetaKit database. It implements a large subset of the SQL 2 (aka SQL 92) standard, and comes with a Python DBI version 2 interface. Prerequisites: Python 2.1 (or later). MetaKit 2.4 including the metakit.py wrapper. mx.TextTools from the egenix mxBase package. (Links on page referenced above). More Details: MkSQL can be used to query or update any existing MetaKit database which has a relational structure. Basically that means that subviews are ignored. In addition, if you use MkSQL to define your database structure, MkSQL will enforce integrity constraints on all update, insert and delete statements. Note that MkSQL is not a database server. MetaKit is an embedded database, and MkSQL does nothing to change that. License: MIT license. Contact: gmcm(a)hypernet.com <P><A HREF="http://www.mcmillan-inc.com/mksqlintro.html"> MkSQL release 0a0</A> A SQL front-end for MetaKit (cross-platform). (28-Aug-01) - Gordon

The final release of PyOpenGL 2 is now available. PyOpenGL2 is a complete rewrite of PyOpenGL using the wrapper generator SWIG (you don't need SWIG to build it, only to hack on it). It has significant impovements over PyOpenGL 1.5.x. Some of the new features are: 1) Complete coverage of OpenGL 1.1 2) GLU 1.3 support 3) GLUT 3.7 support 4) GLE support (Tubing and Extrusion library) 5) Support for a whole pile of OpenGL, GLU, and WGL extensions (~200) To check out PyOpenGL 2 see http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net thanks, Tarn Weisner Burton
