I am pleased to announce the availability of a new version of cx_Oracle,
the Python interface to Oracle.
New in this release:
1) String variables can now be made any length (previously restricted to
the 64K limit imposed by Oracle for default binding); use the type
cx_Oracle.LONG_STRING as the argument to setinputsizes() for binding in
string values larger than 4000 bytes.
2) Raw and long raw columns are now supported; use the types
cx_Oracle.BINARY and cx_Oracle.LONG_BINARY as the argument to
setinputsizes() for binding in values of these types.
3) Functions DateFromTicks(), TimeFromTicks() and TimestampFromTicks()
are now implemented.
4) Function cursor.setoutputsize() implemented
5) Added the ability to bind arrays as out parameters to procedures; use
the format [cx_Oracle.<DataType>, <NumElems>] as the input to the
function setinputsizes() for binding arrays
6) Discovered from the Oracle 8.1.6 version of the documentation of the
OCI libraries, that the size of the memory location required for the
precision variable is larger than the printed documentation says; this
was causing a problem with the code on the Sun platform.
7) Now support building RPMs for Linux (built on Red Hat Linux 7.2 but
will likely work on other distributions)
NOTE:
As some of these things extend the DB API, comments are most welcome on
whether this implementation is sensible!

Release 0.2.7:
Support (and a binary distribution) for Python 2.2.
Fixed the problems with readonly source files.
Parsing the setup.cfg file should now work correctly.
Other small bug fixes as well.
py2exe is a distutils extension to convert python scripts
into executable windows programs, able to run on computers
without requiring a python installation.

Greetings!
Anygui 0.1b1 has been released, and may be dowloaded from the Anygui
project page (http://sourceforge.net/projects/anygui).
Anygui is a generic GUI package which allows you to write programs
that will work with several backends, such as Tkinter, wxPython,
PythonWin and Java Swing. The name is inspired by the standard library
package anydbm, because the behaviour is similar: You write your
program using the Anygui API, and Anygui figures out which back-end to
use.
One of the additions in this new release is the support for curses and
plain text, giving you full GUI functionality using only the print
statement!
For more information, please visit the Anygui web site at
