Find a new release of python-ldap:
http://python-ldap.sourceforge.net/
python-ldap provides an object-oriented API to access LDAP directory
servers from Python programs. It mainly wraps the OpenLDAP 2.x libs for
that purpose. Additionally it contains modules for other LDAP-related
stuff (e.g. processing LDIF, LDAPURLs and LDAPv3 schema).

Released 2.2.1 2006-11-15
Changes since 2.2.0:
Modules/
* Fix for Python 2.5 free(): invalid pointer (see SF#1575329)
* passwd() accepts None for arguments user, oldpw, newpw
(see SF#1440151)
Lib/
* ldif.LDIFWriter.unparse() now accepts instances of
derived dict and list classes (see SF#1489898)
PythonQt is a dynamic and lightweight script binding of the Qt4
framework to the Python language.
It can be easily embedded into Qt4 applications and makes any QObject
derived
object scriptable via Python without the need of wrapper code generation.
The first public beta release is available as source code under the LGPL
license.
The binding has been used for quite a while in a commercial product
and we are looking for new developers to join the project on Source Forge.

ludevít is a simple program translating standard Slovak language
into the L. Štúr version.
The program is probably interesting only to Slovak speakers.
Requirements: Python at least version 2.3, only standard library modules
are used. The program is intended to be used in Unix environments with
UTF-8 locale, but should work everywhere python runs, if you provide
UTF-8 input and are content with UTF-8 output.

GPL >=2.0

This is an initial release.

Antivirus alert: file .signature infected by signature virus.
Hi! I'm a signature virus! Copy me into your signature file to help me spread!
Greetings, program!
I'm pleased to announce version 1.0a1 of httpy, middleware to smooth out
WSGI's worst warts. With httpy in your stack, you can return a string,
or return or raise an httpy.Response object, instead of mucking with
start_response and iterables.
This version marks a major change of scope for httpy, from WSGI
competitor to itty-bitty middleware. I'm late to the party, but it turns
out Kool-Aid is still good warm. Help yourself:

I'd like to extend an invitation to those who would like to get involved in
advocating the use of Python. In August, the PSF hired me, for a 6-mo
contract, to coordinate the Python advocacy effort. Since then I've been
working to make the next PyCon one of the best conferences yet, and putting in
place the infrastructure of a newcomer portal (http://advocacy.python.org)
focused on drawing in those people who don't know much about Python but have
developed an interest for various reasons. The portal also has an entry point
(http://advocacy.python.org/getinvolved) to organize the materials and
activities of those already in the Python community who want to get involved.
I've also established a new mailing list <advocacy(a)python.org> on which to
discuss advocacy, replacing the <marketing-python(a)wingide.com> list, and a
blog.(http://python-advocacy.blogspot.com) for keeping the Python community
up-to-date about advocacy goings on. The blog is aggregated into the official
Planet Python (but I can't seem to reach the coordinator of the *unofficial*
Planet Python).
A bit about the newcomer portal to place it in context; the portal is designed
to help someone who has just become aware of Python decide if the language is
right for them. It seeks to quickly direct visitors to the information they
want, and bring to their attention how diverse and vibrant the support for
Python is. The audience is not only programmers but also journalists, project
managers, scientists/engineers, recruiters and educators. Different audiences
come at Python with different needs and often need different explanations.
And some are indeed programmers, but using other languages, who wonder how
Python compares to what they are using now.
For the newcomer portal we have a need for content writers to focus on
specific problem domains, for the various subcommunities to provide technology
roadmaps and representative samples of source code that would entice someone
to check them out. As one example, the SciPy/NumPy group could write about
what makes their software attractive to the scientific community and provide
one-page sources that illustrates certain common operations, to show off the
clarify and expressiveness of Python. I've found plenty of material on the
SciPy website that I'm weaving into the newcomer portal.
The portal is not designed to replace what we have at www.python.org but to
complement it, and to serve as an organizing point for the extensive content
already on www.python.org and elsewhere. The portal also specifically
supports dynamic content, relational database storage of information and easy
plug-in of new components to add new features. Such features will eventually
include, among other things, a searchable roster of user groups, a registry of
speakers and trainers and a catalog of books about Python, each with RSS feeds
where appropriate.
And for the curious, the portal is written using the Zope 3 component system,
building on the underlying Twisted subsystem for internal background
scheduling and hooked to a PostgreSQL database. The site makes use of Zope 3
viewlets to provide pluggable display elements, reStructured text documents
for a clean separation between content and infrastructure, and Nabu for
synchronization of document collections into the indexing engine and
persisting of the reST DOMs to enable content manipulation at presentation
time according to what is to be viewed (biblio data, abstracts, content). The
portal is located on the python.org servers and all software and content are
checked into svn.python.org.
In closing, I am greatly honored by the trust of the foundation members in me
and hope to serve the community well. As coordinator, I invite others to get
involved and will strive to provide an assistive environment within which
everyone can be productive. The primary discussion area is the new mailing
list which can be joined at:
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/advocacy
and a list of what is needed is at:
http://advocacy.python.org/getinvolved
I am also maintaining a list of accomplishments and near-term To-Do's for
myself at:

In working with the graphic designer we've hired for PyCon 2007, we'd like to
add some diversity to the typical conference photos. We want a new photo
montage similar to the one we've had for many years at the page top at:
http://us.pycon.org/TX2006/HomePage
The graphic designer has gone over Flickr with the 'pycon' keyword but not
found a single photo of women at PyCon.
For those with a bit of time and perhaps a photo inclination could we get a
few volunteers to locate and send me links to any photos they feel represent
PyCon well? And if the photos zero in a specific person we'll need to get
their permission before plastering their likeless all over the place. ;-)
Thanks,
Jeff Rush
