ANN: Numarray-0.3.4
by Todd Miller June 22, 2002

June 22, 2002

Numarray 0.3.4 --------------------------------- Numarray is an array processing package designed to efficiently manipulate large multi-dimensional arrays. Numarray is modelled after Numeric and features c-code generated from python template scripts, the capacity to operate directly on arrays in files, and improved type promotions. Version 0.3.4 implements the following new features: 1) Support for Int64 arrays on Alpha/Tru64. These are now the default integer type on Alpha/Tru64. 2) Better Numeric compatability in terms of the array() function parameters and typecode handling. 3) Ports of Numeric's FFT, RandomArray, and LinearAlgebra packages as FFT2, RandomArray2, and LinearAlgebra2. These names are likely to change in the future as they are better packaged. 4) Support for pickling of numarrays, chararrays, and recarrays. 5) Bugfixes For the astronomers out there, Numarray-0.3.4 supports PyFITS-0.7.2. WHERE ----------- Numarray-0.3.4 windows executable installers and source code tar ball is here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1369 Numarray is hosted by Source Forge in the same project which hosts Numeric: http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/ The web page for Numarray information is at: http://stsdas.stsci.edu/numarray/index.html Trackers for Numarray Bugs, Feature Requests, Support, and Patches are at the Source Forge project for NumPy at: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=1369 REQUIREMENTS -------------------------- numarray-0.3.4 requires Python 2.0 or greater.

by Lamy Jean-Baptiste June 20, 2002

June 20, 2002

TreeWidget 0.2 http://oomadness.tuxfamily.org/p-treewidget.php This is a tree widget for Tkinter, in pure-Python. It is inspired on Guido's IDE tree widget, but adds some features : - highly optimized (supports more than 10000 nodes !) - asynchronous rendering - Linux-friendly look-and-feel (and PGM icons instead of gif) - inheritance-based interface (inherit the Node class) - ... The same package also provides a scrollpane, that can be used to add scrollbars for a Tkinter Frame. For documentation, look at the doc strings and the 2 demo scripts ! TreeWidget is Free Software and is available under the GNU GPL. Enjoy the tree ! Jiba -- Jean-Baptiste LAMY -- jiba(a)tuxfamily.org http://oomadness.tuxfamily.org

[ANN] EventObj
by Lamy Jean-Baptiste June 20, 2002

June 20, 2002

EventObj 0.2 http://oomadness.tuxfamily.org/p-eventobj.php EventObj is a (hackish) pure Python module that allows to add modification callback (=event) to any Python object (including lists and dicts). EventObj requires at least Python 2.2 (tested with 2.2.1). EventObj can be usefull for debugging, for IDE (to spy object modification ?), for OO databases, or just for maitaining anything up-to-date with an object. Python hack-lovers may be interesting at looking the pure Python source code (I use __setattr__ on ). EventObj is Free Software and is available under the GNU GPL. Enjoy the hack !

Pyrex 0.3.1 is now available: http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~greg/python/Pyrex/ Some fairly major problems with the new extension types facility have been fixed. There are also some new features: - Default argument values, * and ** arguments are now supported in Pyrex-defined Python functions. - External C functions with variable argument lists can be declared and called. - Full C type declaration syntax now supported, including pointer-to-function types. - More special methods for extension types: __delitem__, __delslice__, __getattr__, __setattr__, __delattr__ - ctypedef statement. - String literal handling improved (triple quoted strings, escape sequences in strings should now work). - Hex, octal and imaginary literals. - Docstrings. What is Pyrex? -------------- Pyrex is a new language for writing Python extension modules. It lets you freely mix operations on Python and C data, with all Python reference counting and error checking handled automatically.

mimedecode.py version 1.1.3
by Oleg Broytmann June 19, 2002

June 19, 2002

Hello! mimedecode.py WHAT IS IT Mail users, especially in non-English countries, often find that mail messages arrived in different formats, with different content types, in different encodings and charsets. Usually this is very good because it allows us to use apropriate formats/encodings/whatever. Sometimes, though, some unification is desireable. For example, one may want to put mail messages into an archive, make HTML indicies, run search indexer, etc. In such situations converting messages to text in one character set and skipping some binary atachmetnts will be much desireable. Here is the solution - mimedecode.py. This is a program to decode MIME messages. The program expects one input file (either on command line or on stdin) which treated as an RFC822 mesage, and decoded to stdout. If the file is not an RFC822 message the file just piped to stdout one-to-one. If it is a simple RFC822 message it is just decoded as one part. If it is a MIME message with multiple parts ("attachments") all parts decoded. Decoding can be controlled by command-line options. WHAT'S NEW in version 1.1.3 Fixed a minor bug. The program should never raise UnicodeError anymore. WHERE TO GET Master site: http://phd.pp.ru/Software/Python/#mimedecode Faster mirrors: http://phd.by.ru/Software/Python/#mimedecode http://phd2.chat.ru/Software/Python/#mimedecode Requires: Python 2.0+ (actually tested with 2.1 and 2.2), configured mailcap database. Documentation (also included in the package): http://phd.pp.ru/Software/Python/mimedecode.txt http://phd.by.ru/Software/Python/mimedecode.txt http://phd2.chat.ru/Software/Python/mimedecode.txt AUTHOR Oleg Broytmann <phd(a)phd.pp.ru> COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2001-2002 PhiloSoft Design LICENSE GPL Oleg. -- Oleg Broytmann http://phd.pp.ru/ phd(a)phd.pp.ru Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.

SC-Track Roundup 0.4.2pr1 - an issue tracking system
by Richard Jones June 19, 2002

June 19, 2002

==================================================== SC-Track Roundup 0.4.2pr1 - an issue tracking system ==================================================== NOTE: This is the first (and hopefully only) pre-release of 0.4.2. If you have an existing roundup installation and wish to test it, make a backup of your database. Make sure you read MIGRATION.txt! Roundup requires python 2.1.1 for correct operation. Support for dumbdbm requires python 2.1.2 or 2.2. Versions 2.1.3 and 2.2.1 are highly recommended. Big stuff in this release: - online demo at http://mechanicalcat.net/cgi-bin/roundup.cgi - fast full-text searching of messages - other speedups - bsddb3 backend is re-enabled - instance initialisation is a two-step process now, making mods easier - optionally auto-add the author and recipients of messages to the nosy - enhancements to make multilink editing through the web and email easier - cleaner use of auditors and reactors in the default schemas - demo scripts supplied in the scripts/ and detectors/ directories - Much, much more: see the CHANGES file for details Source and documentation is available at the website: http://roundup.sourceforge.net/ Release Info (via download page): http://sourceforge.net/projects/roundup Mailing lists - the place to ask questions: http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=31577 About Roundup ============= Roundup is a simple-to-use and -install issue-tracking system with command-line, web and e-mail interfaces. It is based on the winning design from Ka-Ping Yee in the Software Carpentry "Track" design competition. Note: Ping is not responsible for this project. The contact for this project is richard(a)users.sourceforge.net. Roundup manages a number of issues (with flexible properties such as "description", "priority", and so on) and provides the ability to: (a) submit new issues, (b) find and edit existing issues, and (c) discuss issues with other participants. The system will facilitate communication among the participants by managing discussions and notifying interested parties when issues are edited. One of the major design goals for Roundup that it be simple to get going. Roundup is therefore usable "out of the box" with any python 2.0+ installation. It doesn't even need to be "installed" to be operational, though a disutils-based install script is provided. It comes with two issue tracker templates and three database back-ends.
