See http://gmpy.sourceforge.net/ for details. What is it: a wrapper for the GMP library, to provide multi-precision arithmetic for Python. Multi-precision floats, and unbounded-precision rationals, are not present in stock Python; multi-precision integers ('long') are, but gmpy's version of multi-precision integers is faster for some operations (NOT all -- used to be, but Python 2.3 did serious enhancements to some operations on longs) and provides lots of nifty pre-packaged additional functions. Minor changes and bug-fixes since the latest 0.9 pre-alpha; support for Python 2.3. The Windows binary release is now for Python 2.3 _only_ (if you're stuck with Python 2.2 on Windows, you can keep using gmpy 0.9 pre-alpha and not really suffer from that). Known bug on Windows: the scan0 and scan1 functions appear broken (perhaps related to the lack of a GMP 4.0 library for Windows -- haven't found one around yet). Alex

ANN: wxPyAtol

by Francesco

Hello, I'm happy to announce "wxPyAtol" The original program is written by Miroslav Rajcic and is called Atol Filemanager. It is programmed in C++ using wxWindows http://atol.sourceforge.net/ I have posted the sources to: http://berg.heim.at/anden/421194/wxpyatol.zip A few months ago, i couldn't imagine, that this is possible to do in python + wxpython. But also with the help of win32 extensions, I managed to get the most things work. I know, it is almost not at all "pythonic", but I wanted to keep it so, because it is better to compare to the c++ sources, and maybe later, I will inlude more python style. Maybe someone could help me and give me some pointers: In the source, it is marked with todo. for example to retrieve the imagelist from Windows fileextensions self.m_hImageList = windll.shell32.SHGetFileInfo('.txt', win32file.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, byref(shfileinfo), sizeof(shfileinfo), dwFlags) How can I get this in python? thank you and best regards (and sorry for my bad english) -- Francesco

Update to the Stackless Pages -- thanks for so much input!

by Christian Tismer

Dear friends, there have been so many changes, additions, contributions and discussion of Stackless in the last few days, that I did an update of the website and created new binaries as well. There also were some kind people who sent some money via PayPal. I would like to thank these, and encourage others to follow their example. Everybody is listed in the sponsors page. There is a good chance for Stackless 3.0 for Python 2.3.3 to appear in the first days of February. Thanks to all contributors who helped in any way! cheers - chris http://www.stackless.com/ -- Christian Tismer :^) <mailto:tismer@stackless.com> Mission Impossible 5oftware : Have a break!

ANN: pymake-0.9 released

by Chris McDonough

The initial release of pymake, a make-like tool written in Python is available at: http://www.plope.com/software/pymake pymake is a simple make replacement which allows the specification of file dependency graphs within Python. With it, you can perform conditional complilation of source code, install software, run scripts, or any repeatable sequence of tasks that ends up creating a known set of files on your filesystem. On subsequent runs of the same set of tasks, pymake performs the least amount of work possible to create the same set of files, only performing the work that it detects has not already been performed by earlier runs.

Call for Participation: PyCon DC 2004 Sprints

by Jeremy Hylton

Call for Participation PyCon DC 2004 Sprints March 20-23, 2004 http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/SprintPlan2004 The Python Software Foundation is sponsoring four days of sprints before PyCon -- Saturday through Tuesday. We invite developers to attend the sprints. We will provide space and network connectivity for developers who want to work on open source projects. A sprint is a two or three day focused development session, in which developers pair in a room and focus on building a particular subsystem. A sprint is organized with a coach leading the session. The coach sets the agenda, tracks activities, and keeps the development moving. The developers work in pairs using XP's pair programming approach. We have several sprints already planned, including - Docutils and reStructuredText - Plone - Twisted topics - Zope 2 and Zope 3 - Python core development If you are interested in participating in a sprint, please send mail to the appropriate sprint coach or to me. Developers of all experience levels are welcome. We are also looking for coaches for other sprints topics; if you have an idea, post it in the Wiki or send me an email. The PSF will waive PyCon registration fees for coaches of sprints with at least two attendees. Hope to see you there, Jeremy Hylton PyCon sprint chair
