Washington, DC Zope/Python Users Group Re-Formed
by Joel Burton 02 Jul '04

02 Jul '04

After a hiatus, a new group for Python, Zope, and Plone programmers in DC is forming. Our goal is to network and further educate ourselves on programming in Python. While not exclusively for Zope or Plone developers, we expect there to be a focus for these technologies. We have a formation meeting scheduled: Thursday, July 8th 7:00pm-9:00pm Porter Novelli Board Room, 1909 K Street NW. This is very close to both the red line and orange lines of the DC Metro, and close to many restaurants and bars. For information on the meeting, please see http://zpugdc.org/meetings/mtg1. At our first meeting, we'd like to plan the group and gauge interest for regular meetings and presentations. After the meeting, we'll likely adjourn to a nearby bar for a round of drinks. Our mailing list will announce future meetings, and provide social, job-board, and technical support for DC-area Python, Zope, and Plone users. You can subscribe by sending an email (with the subject "subscribe") to zpugdc(a)lists.zpugdc.org. You can read archives of the mailing list at http://www.zpugdc.org/lists/zpugdc. If you can't make it, but might be interested in a DC Zope/Python users group, please email us and let us know: info(a)zpugdc.org. Thanks! - Joel Burton for the Zope/Python Users Group of DC.

ANN: pygenx 0.5.3
by Michael Twomey 01 Jul '04

01 Jul '04

pygenx 0.5.3 is now available: http://software.translucentcode.org/pygenx/pygenx-0.5.3.tar.gz http://software.translucentcode.org/pygenx/ What is it? ----------- pygenx is a wrapper for the genx[1] canonical[2] XML generation library. If you need a simple, fast, way of generating correct XML without worrying about escaping characters or character entities then pygenx is ideal. What's changed? --------------- In 0.5.3 I've changed the handling of files so any python class implementing flush() and write() methods should work now (including StringIO). Previously they had to contain a pointer to a C FILE struct. I've also written a manual, which can be found in the distribution and online: http://software.translucentcode.org/pygenx/manual.html Other small bugs have been fixed as well. Example ------- #!/usr/bin/env python import genx writer = genx.Writer() fp = file("greeting.xml", "w") writer.startDocFile(fp) writer.startElementLiteral("greeting") writer.addText("Hello world!") writer.endElement() writer.endDocument() greeting.xml: <greeting>Hello world!</greeting> mick
