by Alexandre Feb. 17, 2004

Feb. 17, 2004

I'm pleased to announce the 0.5 release of PyReverse, after a long time without much development. This is a refactoring release, essentially to use the same underlying model as PyLint. Please Consider this release as beta software. What's new ? ------------ * removed pystats which is now included in pylint * rewritten to use logilab.common.astng instead of a custom underlying representation * refactored the diagrams generation and uses * pyvcg and pystats can now extract a diagram starting from a given class and including all parents and associated classes * simpler filter modes * slight improvments of unit test generation * added a bunch of unit tests :) What's pyreverse ? ------------------ Pyreverse is a set of utilities for Python code reverse engineering. It uses a representation of a Python project in a class hierarchy which can be used to extract information (such as generate UML diagrams or unit tests, as provided by pyargo and py2tests) Home page --------- http://www.logilab.org/projects/pyreverse Download -------- ftp://ftp.logilab.org/pub/pyreverse You will also need the latest logilab.common module, avaialble at ftp://ftp.logilab.org/pub/common Mailing list ------------ http://lists.logilab.org/mailman/listinfo/python-projects -- Alexandre Fayolle LOGILAB, Paris (France). http://www.logilab.com http://www.logilab.fr http://www.logilab.org Advanced computing - Python - Customized trainings - Consulting - XML

[ANN] pylint 0.3.3
by Alexandre Feb. 17, 2004

Feb. 17, 2004

I'm pleased to announce the 0.3.3 release of PyLint. This is essentially a bug fix releases plus some minor features. What's new ? ------------ * added a parsable text output, used when the --parsable option is provided * added an emacs mode using this output, available in the distrib's elisp directory * fixed some typos in messages * change include-ids options to yn, and allow it to be in the configuration file * do not choke on corrupted stats files * fixed bug in the format checker which may stop pylint execution * added inimal pylint tk gui What is pylint ? ---------------- Pylint is a python tool that checks if a module satisfy a coding standard. Pylint can be seen as another pychecker since nearly all tests you can do with pychecker can also be done with Pylint. But Pylint offers some more features, like checking line-code's length, checking if variable names are well-formed according to your coding standard, or checking if declared interfaces are truly implemented, and much more (see http://www.logilab.org/pylint/ for the complete check list). The big advantage with Pylint is that it is highly configurable, customizable, and you can easily write a small plugin to add a personal feature. The usage it quite simple : $ pylint mypackage.mymodule This command will output all the errors and warnings related to the tested code (here : mypackage.mymodule), will dump a little summary at the end, and will give a mark to the tested code. Pylint is free software distributed under the GNU Public Licence.

ANN: matplotlib-0.50 - python plots
by jdh2358＠yahoo.com Feb. 17, 2004

Feb. 17, 2004

matplotlib is a python 2D plotting library which produces publication quality figures using in a variety of hardcopy formats (PNG, JPG, TIFF, PS) and interactive GUI environments (WX, GTK) across platforms. matplotlib can be used in python scripts, interactively from the python shell (ala matlab or mathematica), in web application servers generating dynamic charts, or embedded in GTK or WX applications. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net What's new in matplotlib 0.50 Antigrain backend: Agg Adding to the growing list of image backends is Antigrain -- http://antigrain.com. This is a backend written mostly in extension code and is the fastest of all the image backends. Agg supports freetype fonts, antialiased drawing, alpha blending, and much more. The windows installer contains everything you need except Numeric to use the agg backend out of the box; for other platforms see http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/backends.html#Agg Paint/libart backend David Moore wrote a backend for pypaint, a libart wrapper. libart is a high quality, cross platform image renderer that supports antialiased lines, freetype fonts, and other capabilities to soon be exploited. Thanks David! See http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/backends.html#Paint for more information and install instructions The Matplotlib FAQ Matplotlib now has a FAQ -- http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq.html Alpha channel attribute All the figure elements now have an alpha attribute to allow blending and translucency. Not all backends are currenly capable of supporting alpha - currently only Agg, but Paint should be able to support this soon - see the scatter screenshot for an example of alpha at work http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html#scatter_demo2 Table class added John Gill has developed a very nice Table class and table function that plays well with bar charts and stacked bar charts. See example code and screenshot table_demo at http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html#table_demo New plot commands cla and clf Clear the current axes or figure. Useful in interactive plotting from a python shell GD module on win32 With much weeping and gnashing of teeth and help from half the people on this globe, built a gdmodule win32 installer. Special thanks to Stefan Kuzminski for putting up with my endless windows confusions. See the win32 quickstart at installing the GD backend - http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/backends.html#GDWIN32 GD supports clipping and antialiased line drawing See instructions about upgrading gd and gdmodule at Installing the GD backend. The line object has a new 'antialiased' property, that if True, the backend will render the line antialiased if supported. Note antialiased drawing under GD is slow, so be sure to turn the property off set(lines, 'antialiased', False) if you experience performance problems. If you need performance and antialiasing, use the agg backend. Wild and wonderful bar charts You can provide an optional argument bottom to the bar command to determine where the bottom of each bar is, default 0 for all. This enables stacked bar plots and candelstick plots -- examples/bar_stacked.py. Thanks to David Moore and John Gill for suggestions and code. Figure backend refactored The figure functionality was split into a backend independent component Figure and a backend dependent component FigureCanvasBase. This completes the transition to a totally abstract figure interface and improves the ability the switch backends and a figure to multiple backends. See API_CHANGES for information on migrating applications to the new API at http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/API_CHANGES Tons of bug fixes and optimizations detailed at http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/whats_new.html

SC-Track Roundup 0.6.5 - an issue tracking system
by Richard Jones Feb. 15, 2004

Feb. 15, 2004

================================================= SC-Track Roundup 0.6.5 - an issue tracking system ================================================= I'm pleased to announce this maintenance release of Roundup which fixes some bugs: - mailgw handles of subject-line errors better - allow serving of FileClass file content when the class isn't called "file" (eg. messages and other FileClasses) - allowed negative ids (ie. new item markers) in HTMLClass.getItem, allowing "db/file_with_status/-1/status/menu" to generate a useful widget - fixed content-type when templates are serving up xml (thanks Godefroid Chapelle) - fixed IE double-submit when it shouldn't (sf bug 842254) - fixed check for JS pop()/push() to make more general (sf bug 877504) - fix re-enabling queries (sf bug 861940) - use supplied content-type on file uploads before trying filename - fixed roundup-reminder script to use default schema (thanks Klamer Schutte) - fixed edit action / parsePropsFromForm to handle index-page edits better - safer logging from HTTP server (sf bug 896917) If you're upgrading from an older version of Roundup you *must* follow the "Software Upgrade" guidelines given in the maintenance documentation. Note that the Zope interface still doesn't work - it is fixed in the 0.7 development codebase. Roundup requires python 2.1.3 or later for correct operation. Python 2.3.1 or later is strongly recommended. To give Roundup a try, just download (see below), unpack and run:: python demo.py 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 2.1+ 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 (a classic bug/feature tracker and a minimal skeleton) and six database back-ends (anydbm, bsddb, bsddb3, sqlite, metakit and mysql).

[ANN] Atox 0.2 released
by mlh＠furu.idi.ntnu.no Feb. 13, 2004

Feb. 13, 2004

What is it? =========== Atox is a framework for automated markup. With it one can quite easily write custom scripts for converting plain text into XML in any way one wishes. Atox is normally used as a command-line script, using a simple XML language to specify the desired transformation from text to markup, but it is also possible to build custom parsers using the Atox library. The name (short for ASCII-to-XML) is inspired by such UNIX tools and system functions as atops and atoi. What's new in 0.2? ================== There's a new demo directory with some examples, which also double as regression tests. There are two new features: Glued matching (for making sure two features occur side by side) and indentation parsing (for implementing nested structures based on indentation). Although the indentation functionality works well, it is still a bit experimental. Feedback is appreciated on how it might be expanded (or modified) to be of more practical use. Where can I get it? =================== Atox is hosted at SourceForge (http://atox.sf.net) and the current release (0.2) is available for download via its project page (http://sf.net/projects/atox). -- Magnus Lie Hetland "The mind is not a vessel to be filled, http://hetland.org but a fire to be lighted."

SpamBayes 1.0a9 (0.9)
by Tony Meyer Feb. 12, 2004

Feb. 12, 2004

The SpamBayes team is pleased to announce the latest release of SpamBayes - 1.0a9 (0.9). This is both a release of the source code *and* of binaries for Microsoft Windows users, including, for the first time, an installation program for all Windows users, not only those that use Microsoft Outlook. As such, we recommend that all SpamBayes users, including those currently running from source, and those using the Outlook plug-in, upgrade to this release. The Windows installation program will install either the Outlook add-in (for Microsoft Outlook users), or the SpamBayes server program (for all other mail client users, including Microsoft Outlook Express). All Windows users (including existing users of the Outlook add-in) are encouraged to use the installation program. If you wish to use the source-code version, you will also need to install Python - see README.txt in the source tree (or view it online) for more information. This release fixes a large number of bugs in the last release, and includes a few new features, too. For a detailed description of everything (well, everything we remember) that has changed since the last release, you can view our WHAT_IS_NEW.txt file, either online, or in the source distribution. Get it from the 'Download' page at http://www.spambayes.org/download.html Enjoy the new release and your spam-free mailbox :-) Tony (on behalf of the SpamBayes team) --- What is SpamBayes? --- The SpamBayes project is working on developing a Bayesian (of sorts) anti-spam filter (in Python), initially based on the work of Paul Graham. The major difference between this and other, similar projects is the emphasis on testing newer approaches to scoring messages. The project includes a number of different applications, all using the same core code, ranging from a plug-in for Microsoft Outlook, to a POP3 proxy, to various command-line tools.
