SpamBayes 1.1a3
by skip＠pobox.com 25 Aug '06

25 Aug '06

The SpamBayes team is pleased to announce release 1.1a3 of SpamBayes. As is now usual, this is both a release of the source code and of an installation program for all Microsoft Windows users. This is an *ALPHA* release. It should only be installed by users willing to try out experimental software, and almost certainly contains new bugs. If you don't know what an alpha release is, please stick with 1.0.4 for the moment. The 1.1 release has been worked on since May of 2004, so contains a vast number of improvements over the 1.0.x line. These include, but are not limited to: * New database backends, including ZODB and ZOE. * Internationalisation support, including partial translations into French and Spanish. * Improved statistics reporting. * The ability to set audio notifications with the Outlook plug-in. * The ability to set the Outlook plug-in to move/copy ham, as well as spam/unsures. * Partial POP3 over SSL support for sb_server. * A vastly improved sb_imapfilter. * Several new experimental options, include one designed to help extract text content from image-based spams. Suggestions about what to try out can be found here: http://entrian.com/sbwiki/TryOutThePreRelease This release, like the ill-fated 1.0.2 and 1.0.3, is built with Python 2.4. We believe that the remaining incompatibilities with Python 2.4 have been resolved, and so this release should also include superior email parsing to the 1.0.x line. Details about the changes in this release can be found at http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=442102 You can get the release via the 'Download' page at http://spambayes.org/download.html Enjoy the new release and your spam-free mailbox As always, thanks to everyone involved in this release! Skip Montanaro. (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, but since modified with ideas from Robinson, Peters, et al. 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 and a command-line-based framework for testing new anti-spam techniques. The Windows installation program will install either the Outlook add-in (for Microsoft Outlook users), the SpamBayes server program (for all other POP3 mail client users, including Microsoft Outlook Express), or the SpamBayes IMAP filter (for all IMAP mail client users). 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 for more information.

[ANN] Release 0.59 of Task Coach
by Frank Niessink 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

Hi all, I'm pleased to announce release 0.59 of Task Coach. New in this release: Bugs fixed: * Improved efficiency while tracking effort for tasks. * The column width of the list with filenames in the attachment page of the task editor is now adaptable, so that long filenames can be made visible entirely. * Translation errors in tips. * When having multiple tasks with the same subject, new effort records would always be created for the first of these tasks instead of the selected task. * Opening a file with a non-ascii filename specified on the command line did not work. Features added: * Japanese translation thanks to Yutaka Usui. * Filter sidebar. * Printing. Selecting 'File' -> 'Print' will print the currently active view. This means only the visible columns will be printed and only the filtered tasks will be printed, in the current sort order. * Export to HTML. Selecting 'File' -> 'Export' -> 'Export to HTML' will export the currently active view to HTML. This means only the visible columns will be exported and only the filtered tasks will be printed, in the current sort order. * Columns with numbers or dates are right-aligned. What is Task Coach? Task Coach is a simple task manager that allows for hierarchical tasks, i.e. tasks in tasks. Task Coach is open source (GPL) and is developed using Python and wxPython. You can download Task Coach from: http://taskcoach.niessink.com https://sourceforge.net/projects/taskcoach/ A binary installer is available for Windows XP and a disk image is available for Mac OSX, in addition to the source distribution. Note that Task Coach is alpha software, meaning that it is wise to back up your task file regularly, and especially when upgrading to a new release. Cheers, Frank

ANNOUNCE: kiwi 1.9.9
by Johan Dahlin 24 Aug '06

24 Aug '06

Kiwi is a PyGTK framework for building graphical applications loosely based on MVC Model-View-Controller (MVC) and Allen Holub's Visual proxy [1]. Think of Kiwi as a high-level, object-oriented layer built on PyGTK. Its design is based on real-world experience using PyGTK to develop large desktop applications, which use many concepts common to most graphical applications: multiple windows and dialogs, forms, data persistence, lists and high-level classes that support domain objects directly. Download ======== Grab the latest sources from: http://download.gnome.org/sources/kiwi/1.9/kiwi-1.9.9.tar.gz What's new since 1.9.8? ======================= - KiwiEntry improvements (Johan, Patrick, Ronaldo) - Win32 installation fixes for Gazpacho & Kiwi (Johan) - DateEntry fixes (Ronaldo, Johan) - DateEntry win32 support (Aaron Spike) - Logging improvements (Johan) - Datatypes refactoring and improved Gazpacho integration (Ronaldo) - Add UI tests (Johan) - Bugs fixes: #2535: entry needs exceptions that don't fail (Patrick O'Brien) #2545: DateEntry calendar popup doesn't hide correctly (Ronaldo) #2562: Falha na exibição de valores do tipo "currency" (Lincoln, Ronaldo) #2610: [Patch] Remove unnecessary on_column__clicked handler (Dave Cook) #2611: Adding a sortable keyword to objectlist (Dave Cook) #2612: [Patch] objectlist.refresh() fix and optimization (Dave Cook) #2632: Problems with datatype currency when the language ...

(Ali) #2721: Missing locale specific date formatting information ... (Aaron Spike, Johan) #2758: Datatype converters should provide a get_mask method. (Ronaldo) Features ======== * An MVC-derived framework of classes: * Views, which represent the graphical display * Controllers, which handles user interaction with the widgets in a View. * Delegates, combines a View and a Controller. * Models, which are special mixins for your domain objects * Proxies, special types of Delegate designed to implement forms * Validation: Kiwi supports validation on different levels: data type validation and verification on the Model/Proxy level, View validation and hooks for visually displaying validation state. * ObjectList widget, which provides a higher level abstraction of GtkTreeView and all its classes (GtkTreeModel, GtkTreeViewColumn, GtkCellRenderer) with hooks to easily integrate into the Kiwi Framework. * Mask suport: You can set a mask on entries to force the input to follow a certain standard, such as zip code, social security, ip address * Gazpacho integration for most (non-deprecated) interactive widgets with attributes for handling validation and proxy attributes. * UI Testing framework Features a recorder and a player. The recorder allows you to record different tasks, a script will be saved which will reproduce the actions you made in the interface. * Kiwi Tasklets Tasklet is a small coroutines framework written by Gustavo Carneiro, it was previously known as gtasklets. * PyGTK utilities, to make it easier to add signals and properties to your objects. * i18n translation utilities, to help you translate PyGTK applications, currently depends on gettext and intltool. * and many other things!

[ANN]UliPad 3.3 is released
by limodou 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

What's it? ======== It's an Editor based on wxPython. NewEdit is the old name, and UliPad is the new name. UliPad uses Mixin and Plugin technique as its architecture. Most of its classes can be extended via mixin and plugin components, and finally become an integrity class at creating the instance. So UliPad is very dynamic. You can write the new features in new files, and hardly need to modify the existing code. And if you want to extend the existing classes, you could write mixins and plugins, and this will be bound to the target class that I call "Slot Class". This technique will make the changes centralized and easily managed. What are its features? ================ * Cross platform o based on wxPython, so it can run anywhere that wxPython works, such as: Windows, Linux. o Unicode support. * Most features of wxStyledTextCtrl(Scintilla) o Syntax highlighting, support Python, c/c++, html, plain text, perl, ruby, css, javascript o Folding o Brace Matching o ... * Extended selection o Extended word selection -- You can press Ctrl+MouseDoubleClick to select a word including '.' o Matched selection -- Select text in quoted chars like: (), [], {}, '', "". * Other editing extension o Duplicating text -- Just like Vim Ctrl+V, Ctrl+P, and more. You can duplicate above or below char, word, line o Quoting text -- Add some quoted chars before and after selected text, just as: "", '', (), [], {}, and o Text convertion and view -- python -> html, reStructured Text -> html, textile -> html, and you can output or view o Utf-8 encoding auto detect o Changing document encoding o Auto backup o Last session support -- It'll save all the filenames as closed, and reopen the files as next started. o Smart judge the indent char -- It'll auto guess the indent char, and sets it. o Finding in files o Bookmark support * Python support o built-in python interactive window based on ?PyShell, support Unicode o Auto completion o Function syntax calltips o Run, run with argument, stop python source o Auto change current path o Python class browser o Indent pasting support(New) * Code snippets o You can manage your code snippets with categories, and each category can have many items. Every item will represent a code snippet. You can insert an item just by double-clicking on it. It even supports importing and exporting. * Simple project support o Can create a special file _project, so every file and folder under the folder which has the _project can be considered as a whole project. * Extension mechanism o Script -- You can write easy script to manipulate the all resource of UliPad, just like: text conversion, etc. o Plugin -- Customized function. More complex but more powerful. Can easily merge with UliPad, and can be managed via menu. o Shell command -- Add often used shell commands, and execute them. * Ftp support o You can edit remote files through ftp. You can add, rename, delete, upload, download file/directory. * Multilanguage support o Currently supports two languages: English and Chinese, which can be auto-detected. * Shipped plugins(must be configed as used them before) o Document links -- Python documentation and wxPython documentation. o Many plugins can be found at UliPad wiki page. * Shipped scripts o Many scripts can be found at UliPad wiki page. * Wizard (New) o You can make your own wizard template. The wizard can input user data, combine with template, and output the result. And wizard also support code framework created. This feature will help you improving coding efficiency. * Direcotry Browser(New) o Browse multiple directories, and you can really add, delete, rename directories and files. Double click will open the file in Editor window. o Support Copy, Cut, and Paste. o Search in Directory * AutoComPlete(acp)(New) o Suport user autocomplete file, it can help to input code very helpful and functional. Just like EditPlus, but may be more powerful. o Manually apply some acp files to current document * Column Edit Mode(New) Where to download it? ================ download lastest version 3.3: http://wiki.woodpecker.org.cn/moin/UliPad?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=U… also have windows installer: http://wiki.woodpecker.org.cn/moin/UliPad?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=U… wiki: http://wiki.woodpecker.org.cn/moin/UliPad svn: http://cvs.woodpecker.org.cn/svn/woodpecker/ulipad/trunk maillist: http://groups.google.com/group/ulipad If you have any problem as using UliPad, welcome to join the UliPad maillist to discuss.

[ANN] PyODB version 0.6 released
by Neil Moses 23 Aug '06

23 Aug '06

I would like to announce version 0.6 of PyODB a Python unixODBC API binding. This release contains improved connection handling, fetch() now takes an optional number of rows to retrieve and added user documentation. PyODB is a Python module and provides a simplified set of bindings to unixODBC (http://www.unixodbc.org) allowing fast and easy development of open database applications. The module supports multiple data source connections with the following connection methods; execute(), fetch(), disconnect(), begin(), commit() and rollback(). The software has been developed on a Linux environment using Python 2.x and SWIG (http://www.swig.org). The module has been tested on Linux and Solaris platforms using databases MySQL, Informix and PostgreSQL but in theory should work on any platform supporting unixODBC and an ODBC database driver. To download the release visit http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyodb Regards, Neil Moses
