LOCAL: DC-area Quixote talk
by A.M. Kuchling March 1, 2004

March 1, 2004

This coming Saturday morning I'm going to be presenting a Quixote tutorial at the Northern Virginia Linux User Group, not far from Washington DC. The tutorial will cover basic usage of Quixote, a Web development framework for Python, and topics such as the structure of Quixote applications, generating HTML with Quixote's PTL templating language, and common design patterns for web applications. I'm also going to provide a PyCon preview, discussing some of the most interesting of the accepted talks. The same presentation will be given later this month at PyCon, which is also in the DC area, but the NOVALUG meeting will probably have much more time available for questions and discussion. WHERE: Washington Technology Park/CSC (formerly Dyncorp), Chantilly, VA DATE: 1st Saturday of the month (March 6th) TIME: 10:00 am URL: http://novalug.tux.org --amk

[ANN]PyCrash 0.4pre1 released
by Carmine Noviello March 1, 2004

March 1, 2004

Hi, a new version of PyCrash is released new features and improvement.You can download it at: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=98026&package_id=1110… Changelog: * PyCrash now handles correctly new-style classes * Added onExceptionRaised() method to PyCrash class, which notifies when and how many times an uncaught exception is raised * Now all PyCrash classes inherit from "object" * Added new utils.Encrypt.py module, that contains the EncryptedPyCrash class. This class allows developers to automatically encrypt crash dumps using RSA algorithm, in order to protect sensible data * Added two scripts: keygen.py and decrypt.py that allow user to generate public/private key pair and decrypt file generated by EncryptedPyCrash class. Moreover, starting from release 0.2.1, PyCrash is distributed under the terms of LGPL software license. A next version of PyCrash Viewer will come soon, in order to support these new features. Enjoy! _______________________________________________________________________ About PyCrash Project: PyCrash is a Run-Time Exception Dumper which handles uncaught exceptions during the execution of Python programs and collects information about the program context. PyCrash can be very useful in report bug information, because the programmer can easily analyse the program execution context of the crashed application. Major information collected by PyCrash in the crash dump is: - Information about operating system, Python and Python Standard Library version and general information about the program that is crashed (e.g., program name and version, time at witch program started and ended, and so on) - Information about the uncaught exceptions, like the exception type, the context (namely method name) in which the exception occurred and the exception value - General information about variables state - Information about the stack of each thread, like the list of stack frames, the variables value in each stack frame, and so on - General information about source code, like variable and function position in source file that can be useful for the programmer to find quickly bugs in source tree The format of the crash dump file generated by PyCrash is XML, so the programmer can easily read this file to understand why the program is crashed. Now, is also available a GUI browser, named PyCrash Viewer, which allows developers to analyze quickly and easily PyCrash crash dump files in a graphical manner. Next version of PyCrash will include at least these features: * HTML dumper, that stores crash dump in HTML format rather then XML More information can be found at: http://www.pycrash.org Thanks! <P><A HREF="http://www.pycrash.org";>PyCrash 0.4pre1</A> - a crash handler for Python written applications.

SC-Track Roundup 0.6.7 - an issue tracking system
by Richard Jones March 1, 2004

March 1, 2004

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm pleased to announce Roundup 0.6.7, a maintenance release which fixes some bugs (most notably making the EMAIL_CHARSET config variable backwards- compatible): - - be more backward-compatible when asking for EMAIL_CHARSET - - made error on create consistent with edit when user enters invalid data for Multilink and Link form fields (sf bug 904072) - - made errors from bad input in the quick "Show issue:" form more user-friendly (sf bug 904064) - - don't add a query to a user's list if it's already there - - nicer invalid property error in HTML templating - - use EMAIL_CHARSET for message body too (still sf bug 900046) 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). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAQoAcrGisBEHG6TARAtXsAJ44RHUSltEBzLx8/KBKPgRQQA/rWwCfaJ+f ZdGIPJA8sWtVeMFoW3hZgiw= =qmbq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
