[ANN] Pyjamas 0.4: Python Web Toolkit Release
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

This is the 0.4 Release of Pyjamas, the python-to-javascript compiler and Web Widget set and framework. Download Pyjamas 0.4 here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=239074 http://code.google.com/p/pyjamas/downloads/list Pyjamas started as a port of Google's Web Toolkit, to python. Explaining why Pyjamas (and GWT) is so significant takes some doing: the summary is that comprehensive desktop-like user interfaces can be developed very simply, to run in any modern web browser, without having to write a single line of JavaScript. Further recommended reading is here: http://advogato.org/article/993.html http://advogato.org/article/981.html The homepage is http://pyjs.org The sister project, Pyjamas-Desktop, is at http://pyjd.org Documentation on Pyjamas is considerable, and includes: http://pyjs.org/book/output/Bookreader.html http://pyjs.org/showcase/Showcase.html http://pyjd.sf.net/api http://pyjd.sf.net/controls_tutorial.html http://lkcl.net/pyjamas-desktop/docs/output/docui.html Also, as the Pyjamas UI API is near-identical to that of GWT 1.5, the GWT JavaDoc reference guide is still relevant: http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/javadoc/1.5/index.html

ANN: eGenix mxODBC Connect - Python Database Interface 1.0.0
by eGenix Team: M.-A. Lemburg 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

________________________________________________________________________ ANNOUNCING eGenix.com mxODBC Connect Python Database Interface Version 1.0.0 Our new client-server product for connecting Python applications to relational databases - from all major platforms This announcement is also available on our web-site for online reading: http://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-mxODBC-Connect-1.0.0-GA.html ________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION The mxODBC Connect Database Interface for Python allows users to easily connect Python applications to all major databases on the market today in a highly portable and convenient way. Unlike our mxODBC Python extension, mxODBC Connect is designed as client-server application, so you no longer need to find production quality ODBC drivers for all the platforms you target with your Python application. Instead you use an easy to install Python client library which connects directly to the mxODBC Connect database server over the network. This makes mxODBC Connect the ideal basis for writing cross-platform database programs and utilities in Python, especially if you run applications that need to communicate with databases such as MS SQL Server and MS Access, Oracle Database, IBM DB2 and Informix, Sybase ASE and Sybase Anywhere, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SAP MaxDB and many more, that run on Windows or Linux machines. By removing the need to install and configure ODBC drivers on the client side, mxODBC Connect greatly simplifies setup and configuration of database driven client applications, while at the same time making the network communication between client and database server more efficient and more secure. For more information, please see the product page: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxODBCConnect/ ________________________________________________________________________ NEWS mxODBC Connect 1.0.0 is the first general availability release of our new mxODBC Connect product. With this release we have further improved the performance and round-trip times of the mxODBC Connect network layer even more. We are now able to achieve a *more than 10 times better performance* for a typical multi-tier application that runs on Linux and connects to a MS SQL Server database running on a Windows host, compared to the same application using mxODBC and the FreeTDS ODBC driver. Thanks to everyone who participated in the public beta ! ________________________________________________________________________ DOWNLOADS The download archives as well as instructions for installation and configuration of the product can be found on the product page: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxODBCConnect/ Evaluation licenses for the server part are available free of charge: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxODBCConnect/#Evaluation The client part of mxODBC Connect is always free of charge. _______________________________________________________________________ SUPPORT Commercial support for this product is available from eGenix.com.

HDF5 for Python 1.0
by Andrew Collette 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

===================================== Announcing HDF5 for Python (h5py) 1.0 ===================================== What is h5py? ------------- HDF5 for Python (h5py) is a general-purpose Python interface to the Hierarchical Data Format library, version 5. HDF5 is a versatile, mature scientific software library designed for the fast, flexible storage of enormous amounts of data. >From a Python programmer's perspective, HDF5 provides a robust way to store data, organized by name in a tree-like fashion. You can create datasets (arrays on disk) hundreds of gigabytes in size, and perform random-access I/O on desired sections. Datasets are organized in a filesystem-like hierarchy using containers called "groups", and accesed using the tradional POSIX /path/to/resource syntax. This is the fourth major release of h5py, and represents the end of the "unstable" (0.X.X) design phase. Why should I use it? -------------------- H5py provides a simple, robust read/write interface to HDF5 data from Python. Existing Python and NumPy concepts are used for the interface; for example, datasets on disk are represented by a proxy class that supports slicing, and has dtype and shape attributes. HDF5 groups are are presented using a dictionary metaphor, indexed by name. A major design goal of h5py is interoperability; you can read your existing data in HDF5 format, and create new files that any HDF5- aware program can understand. No Python-specific extensions are used; you're free to implement whatever file structure your application desires. Almost all HDF5 features are available from Python, including things like compound datatypes (as used with NumPy recarray types), HDF5 attributes, hyperslab and point-based I/O, and more recent features in HDF 1.8 like resizable datasets and recursive iteration over entire files. The foundation of h5py is a near-complete wrapping of the HDF5 C API. HDF5 identifiers are first-class objects which participate in Python reference counting, and expose the C API via methods. This low-level interface is also made available to Python programmers, and is exhaustively documented. See the Quick-Start Guide for a longer introduction with code examples: http://h5py.alfven.org/docs/guide/quick.html Where to get it --------------- * Main website, documentation: http://h5py.alfven.org * Downloads, bug tracker: http://h5py.googlecode.com * The HDF group website also contains a good introduction: http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/H5.intro.html Requires -------- * UNIX-like platform (Linux or Mac OS-X); Windows version is in progress. * Python 2.5 or 2.6 * NumPy 1.0.3 or later (1.1.0 or later recommended) * HDF5 1.6.5 or later, including 1.8. Some features only available when compiled against HDF5 1.8. * Optionally, Cython (see cython.org) if you want to use custom install options. You'll need version 0.9.8.1.1 or later. About this version ------------------ Version 1.0 follows version 0.3.1 as the latest public release. The major design phase (which began in May of 2008) is now over; the design of the high-level API will be supported as-is for the rest of the 1.X series, with minor enhancements. This is the first version to support Python 2.6, and the first to use Cython for the low-level interface. The license remains 3-clause BSD. ** This project is NOT affiliated with The HDF Group. ** Thanks ------ Thanks to D. Dale, E. Lawrence and other for their continued support and comments. Also thanks to the PyTables project, for inspiration and generously providing their code to the community, and to everyone at the HDF Group for creating such a useful piece of software.
