RELEASE: Elisa 0.3.2 'Cheesy'
by philippe＠fluendo.com Oct. 4, 2007

Oct. 4, 2007

This mail announces the release of Elisa 0.3.2 'Cheesy'. Elisa is a project to create an open source cross platform media center solution. While our primary development and deployment platform is GNU/Linux and Unix operating systems we also currently support MacOSX and also hope to support Microsoft Windows in the future. In addition to personal video recorder functionality (PVR) and Music Jukebox support, Elisa will also interoperate with devices following the DLNA standard like Intel's ViiV systems. Elisa uses Twisted and GStreamer. Twisted enables the high-level functionality, distributing components over the network. GStreamer, through the Python bindings, enables the high-speed low-level functionality: actual media processing. For more information, see http://elisa.fluendo.com To file bugs, go to https://code.fluendo.com/elisa/trac/newticket?component=core This is Elisa 0.3.2 "Cheesy", second release of the 0.3 branch.

ANN: Farmhand 0.2-beta
by Dan G Oct. 3, 2007

Oct. 3, 2007

The 0.2-beta release of farmhand code editor is now available for download from http://dan-sg.com/farmhand The editor is written in python, and uses wxPython and Scintilla. It has a unique feature (AFAIK) - it replaces scrollbars with a sort of bar graph that shows the outline/silhouette of the lines in the file, like so: http://dan-sg.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/ss003.PNG This is the first public release, there are rough corners here and there, though it probably won't eat your files. I've used it for a few months on Windows and Mac with no problems, don't know what it does on Unix. Enjoy!

cx_OracleDBATools 3.0b1
by Anthony Tuininga Oct. 3, 2007

Oct. 3, 2007

What is cx_OracleDBATools? cx_OracleDBATools is a set of Python scripts that handle Oracle DBA tasks in a cross platform manner. These scripts are intended to work the same way on all platforms and hide the complexities involved in managing Oracle databases, especially on Windows. Binaries are provided for those who do not have a Python installation. Where do I get it? http://cx-oradbatools.sourceforge.net What's new? 1) Changed backup and restore to use RMAN which allows for backups while the database is running. The backup utility can now create directories, uncompressed tar files or tar files compressed with either gzip or bzip2 as desired. Server parameter files (spfiles) and password files are now backed up correctly. 2) Added support for Oracle 11g. 3) On Windows, configuration is now read from the service directly and the situation where the database is configured to start when the service starts is now handled correctly. 4) Created build configuration script using the new version of cx_Freeze which allows for building installer images on Windows and RPM packages on Linux. 5) Added documentation. 6) The cx_Logging module is now used for all logging instead of simply being printed to stdout or stderr.

cx_Oracle 4.3.3
by Anthony Tuininga Oct. 3, 2007

Oct. 3, 2007

What is cx_Oracle? cx_Oracle is a Python extension module that allows access to Oracle and conforms to the Python database API 2.0 specifications with a few exceptions. Where do I get it? http://cx-oracle.sourceforge.net What's new? 1) Added method ping() on connections which can be used to test whether or not a connection is still active (available in Oracle 10g R2). 2) Added method cx_Oracle.clientversion() which returns a 5-tuple giving the version of the client that is in use (available in Oracle 10g R2). 3) Added methods startup() and shutdown() on connections which can be used to startup and shutdown databases (available in Oracle 10g R2). 4) Added support for Oracle 11g. 5) Added samples directory which contains a handful of scripts containing sample code for more advanced techniques. More will follow in future releases. 6) Prevent error "ORA-24333: zero iteration count" when calling executemany() with zero rows as requested by Andreas Mock. 7) Added methods __enter__() and __exit__() on connections to support using connections as context managers in Python 2.5 and higher. The context managed is the transaction state. Upon exit the transaction is either rolled back or committed depending on whether an exception took place or not. 8) Make the search for the lib32 and lib64 directories automatic for all platforms. 9) Tweak the setup configuration script to include all of the metadata and allow for building the module within another setup configuration script 10) Include the Oracle version in addition to the Python version in the build directories that are created and in the names of the binary packages that are created. 11) Remove unnecessary dependency on win32api to build module on Windows.

cx_Logging 1.4
by Anthony Tuininga Oct. 2, 2007

Oct. 2, 2007

What is cx_Logging? cx_Logging is a Python extension module which operates in a fashion similar to the logging module that ships with Python 2.3 and higher. It also has a C interface which allows applications to perform logging independently of or in tandem with Python. Where do I get it? http://cx-logging.sourceforge.net What's new? 1) On Windows, ensure that the log files are opened in such a way that they are not inherited by subprocesses; otherwise, the existence of a subprocess prevents log rotation. 2) Build an import library on Windows and change the shared object name of the module on other platforms so that other projects can use it directly at the C level. 3) Removed unnecessary dependency on the win32api package on Windows. 4) Tweaked setup script to build PKG-INFO and MANIFEST using metadata in the setup script instead of separate files.

lxml 2.0alpha1 released
by Stefan Behnel Oct. 1, 2007

Oct. 1, 2007

[looks like it finally didn't make it to the NG] Hi all, I'm proudly announcing the first alpha release of lxml 2.0. http://codespeak.net/lxml/dev/ http://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxml/2.0alpha1 ** What is lxml? """ In short: lxml is the most feature-rich and easy-to-use library for working with XML and HTML in the Python language. lxml is a Pythonic binding for the libxml2 and libxslt libraries. It is unique in that it combines the speed and feature completeness of these libraries with the simplicity of a native Python API. """ This release features a major cleanup both behind the scenes and at the surface, that improves the XML tool integration and makes the API clearer and more consistent in many places. The major new addition, however, is the lxml.html package, a new toolkit for HTML handling. The web site for the pre-2.0 series is online at http://codespeak.net/lxml/dev/ The "what's new" page has a description of the major changes: http://codespeak.net/lxml/dev/lxml2.html and the ChangeLog has a more detailed list, see below. This being an alpha release means that not everything is stable, both in terms of crashes and the API. There will be a small number of alpha releases to make the advancements publicly available, before the beta releases focus on improving the stability. I warmly invite everyone to contribute to the final release by discussing the API changes and the new features on the mailing list. There is always space for improvements! There is currently a known problem with Microsoft's compilers, so Windows builds may not become available for 2.0alpha1. The next alpha will hopefully come with prebuilt binaries for that platform. Building with the more standards compliant MinGW compilers should work. Note that working on the code now requires Cython (version 0.9.6.5), an enhanced fork of Pyrex. lxml therefore no longer ships with a copy of Pyrex or Cython, but as usual, building from the distribution sources does not require Cython. It can be installed with "easy_install Cython" or from here: http://www.cython.org/ I hope that lxml 2.0 will become a straight continuation of the success story that lxml 1.x was already. Have fun, Stefan 2.0alpha1 (2007-09-02) Features added * Reimplemented objectify.E for better performance and improved integration with objectify. Provides extended type support based on registered PyTypes. * XSLT objects now support deep copying * New makeSubElement() C-API function that allows creating a new subelement straight with text, tail and attributes. * XPath extension functions can now access the current context node (context.context_node) and use a context dictionary (context.eval_context) from the context provided in their first parameter * HTML tag soup parser based on BeautifulSoup in lxml.html.ElementSoup * New module lxml.doctestcompare by Ian Bicking for writing simplified doctests based on XML/HTML output. Use by importing lxml.usedoctest or lxml.html.usedoctest from within a doctest. * New module lxml.cssselect by Ian Bicking for selecting Elements with CSS selectors. * New package lxml.html written by Ian Bicking for advanced HTML treatment. * Namespace class setup is now local to the ElementNamespaceClassLookup instance and no longer global. * Schematron validation (incomplete in libxml2) * Additional stringify argument to objectify.PyType() takes a conversion function to strings to support setting text values from arbitrary types. * Entity support through an Entity factory and element classes. XML parsers now have a resolve_entities keyword argument that can be set to False to keep entities in the document. * column field on error log entries to accompany the line field * Error specific messages in XPath parsing and evaluation NOTE: for evaluation errors, you will now get an XPathEvalError instead of an XPathSyntaxError. To catch both, you can except on XPathError. * The regular expression functions in XPath now support passing a node-set instead of a string * Extended type annotation in objectify: new xsiannotate() function * EXSLT RegExp support in standard XPath (not only XSLT) Bugs fixed * lxml.etree did not check tag/attribute names * The XML parser did not report undefined entities as error * The text in exceptions raised by XML parsers, validators and XPath evaluators now reports the first error that occurred instead of the last * Passing '' as XPath namespace prefix did not raise an error * Thread safety in XPath evaluators Other changes * objectify.PyType for None is now called "NoneType" * el.getiterator() renamed to el.iter(), following ElementTree 1.3 - original name is still available as alias * In the public C-API, findOrBuildNodeNs() was replaced by the more generic findOrBuildNodeNsPrefix * Major refactoring in XPath/XSLT extension function code * Network access in parsers disabled by default
