IMDbPY 3.0 released
by Davide Alberani 03 May '07

03 May '07

IMDbPY 3.0 is available (tgz, deb, rpm, exe) from: http://imdbpy.sourceforge.net/ IMDbPY is a Python package useful to retrieve and manage the data of the IMDb movie database about both movies and people. With this release the new design of the IMDb site is supported; moreover, the "merchandising" page is parsed and many bugs were fixed. Platform-independent and written in pure Python (and few C lines), it can retrieve data from both the IMDb's web server and a local copy of the whole database. IMDbPY package can be very easily used by programmers and developers to provide access to the IMDb's data to their programs. Some simple example scripts are included in the package; other IMDbPY-based programs are available from the home page. -- Davide Alberani <alberanid(a)libero.it> [PGP KeyID: 0x465BFD47] http://erlug.linux.it/~da/

bbfreeze0.93.0
by Ralf Schmitt 03 May '07

03 May '07

Hi all, I've just uploaded bbfreeze 0.93.0 to python's cheeseshop. bbfreeze creates standalone executables from python scripts. It's similar in functionality to py2exe or cx_Freeze. It offers the following features: easy installation bbfreeze can be installed with setuptools' easy_install command. *NEW* zip/egg file import tracking bbfreeze tracks imports from zip files. Note that calls to setuptools' pkg_resources.require will be replaced with a dummy implementation. Calls to resource handling functions are *not* implemented, and freezing packages using these features of pkg_resources will not be possible without further work. multiple script freezing bbfreeze can freeze multiple scripts at once. python interpreter included bbfreeze will create an extra executable named 'py', which might be used like the python executable itself. bbfreeze works on windows and UNIX-like operating systems. It currently does not work on OS X. bbfreeze has been tested with python 2.4 and 2.5. bbfreeze will not work with python versions prior to 2.3 as it uses the zipimport feature introduced with python 2.3.

[ANNOUNCE] pyswarm 0.7.1 released - MDD for Python & PostgreSQL
by Anastasios Hatzis 01 May '07

01 May '07

pyswarm 0.7.1 released - MDD for Python & PostgreSQL SDK Now Requires Python Only And Generates Applications Up to 5 Times Faster 01 MAY 2007: pyswarm 0.7.1 is the seventh release of pyswarm, the Free Software tool for model-driven development of Python apps with PostgreSQL databases. The SDK of this release doesn't need any program additional to Python 2.4 or 2.5 and will be significantly faster at generating pyswarm applications from UML models stored in XMI files. Download and information now available online: http://pyswarm.sourceforge.net/ Acceleration of generation process has been achieved after switching to the xml.dom.minidom implementation of the Python standard library. Executing the pyswarm-generate command with-out debug option seems to make the generator up to five times faster than in version 0.7.0 ("Young Pickerl") and earlier. Even with --debug option turned on the generator seems to be almost twice as fast as before. In order to work with the SDK there is no need anymore to install PyXML or mx.DateTime. The dependency of the latter library has been actually removed in 0.7.0 but there was a bug which led to an ImportError. This bug has been fixed in 0.7.1 release. Although the SDK itself now needs only a compatible Python interpreter, testing or running a generated application and its databases will still require the installation of some 3rd-party products that are not distributed along with Python or pyswarm. For detail information please read the CHANGES.txt coming with the distribution. This release is purposed for study only. It is not recommended to use for production environment. Anastasios Hatzis About pyswarm pyswarm is an active code-generator for model-driven development (MDD) of database-centric and n-tier server applications. Business logic is written entirely in Python and can be customized either in UML models or in complex Python method implementations, as elegant and powerful as code in Python can be. PostgreSQL is used as reliable database-server by the generated business logic components to store persistent entity objects. pyswarm is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). The licensor is the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE).
