Pyrex 0.9.7 is now available:
http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/greg.ewing/python/Pyrex/
Highlights of this version:
* I have streamlined the integer for-loop syntax. Instead
of the loop variable redundantly appearing in two places,
it's now just
for x < i < y:
...
* If you declare a variable as a list or dict, then calls
to some of its methods will be compiled into type-specific
Python API calls instead of generic ones.
* Most built-in constants are referenced directly instead of
via dict lookup.
* There are two new builtin functions, typecheck() and
issubtype(), for checking the types of arguments more safely
(since isinstance and issubclass can be fooled).
What is Pyrex?
--------------
Pyrex is a language for writing Python extension modules.
It lets you freely mix operations on Python and C data, with
all Python reference counting and error checking handled
automatically.
Paver (http://www.blueskyonmars.com/projects/paver/) is a "task"
oriented build, distribution and deployment scripting tool. It's
similar in idea to Rake, but is geared toward Python projects and
takes advantage of popular Python tools and libraries.
Paver can be seen as providing an easier and more cohesive way to work
with a variety of proven tools.
With Version 0.7, Paver is now a full stand-in for the traditional
distutils- or setuptools-based setup.py. Need to perform some extra
work before an sdist runs? No problem:
@task
def sdist():
...move files around, etc....
call_task("distutils.command.sdist")
You put that in your pavement.py file and now running "paver sdist"
will perform your logic and then run the distutils sdist command.
Paver can even generate a setup.py so "python setup.py sdist" or
"python setup.py install" work just as they always have. And to make
it easier for people who don't yet have Paver, you can include a small
zip file that enables "python setup.py install" to work off of a
pavement.py file even without Paver.
Paver 0.7 has a bunch of new tools to help with project documentation
(taking advantage of Georg Brandl's Sphinx and also including Ned
Batchelder's Cog). Paver now includes much better docs, too.

On behalf of the Python development team and the Python community, I
am happy to announce the third alpha release of Python 2.6, and the
fifth alpha release of Python 3.0.
Please note that these are alpha releases, and as such are not
suitable for production environments. We continue to strive for a
high degree of quality, but there are still some known problems and
the feature sets have not been finalized. These alphas are being
released to solicit feedback and hopefully discover bugs, as well as
allowing you to determine how changes in 2.6 and 3.0 might impact
you. If you find things broken or incorrect, please submit a bug
report at
http://bugs.python.org
For more information and downloadable distributions, see the Python
2.6 website:
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6/
and the Python 3.0 web site:
http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.0/
These are the last planned alphas for both versions. If all goes
well, next month will see the first beta releases of both, which will
also signal feature freeze. Two beta releases are planned, with the
final releases scheduled for September 3, 2008.
See PEP 361 for release details:
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0361/
Enjoy,

pybonjour 1.1.1 is now available for download at
http://o2s.csail.mit.edu/download/pybonjour/
pybonjour provides a pure-Python interface (via ctypes) to Apple
Bonjour and compatible DNS-SD libraries (such as Avahi). It allows
Python scripts to take advantage of Zero Configuration Networking
(Zeroconf) to register, discover, and resolve services on both local
and wide-area networks. Since pybonjour is implemented in pure
Python, scripts that use it can easily be ported to Mac OS X, Windows,
Linux, and other systems that run Bonjour.
pybonjour 1.1.1 includes the following changes:
* All DNS-SD API calls are now made after acquiring a global lock
object. This object is a dummy (i.e. acquire() and release() do
nothing), except in the case where pybonjour is using Avahi's
Bonjour compatibility layer, in which case the lock is a
threading.RLock instance. This is necessary because the
compatibility layer is not thread safe.
* Added browse_resolve_query.py to examples
For more information, see

I am pleased to announce the availability of an application developed to
aid fiction writers on Linux. It is called plotdb, the plot database. It
is designed to help track all the components of a story, including
characters, objects, concepts and locations, and to attach them to
chapters and scenes in a way that facilitates the story-writing component
of authoring. I wrote this application to scratch an itch I had for free
(as in beer and as in freedom) novel writing software for Linux.
The pure python version of plotdb is v.0.3. This sounds extremely low,
like pre-alpha, but the application began existence in the early fall of
2007 using a different database engine. Recently, I decided to move to
sqlite as the database back end, which is supported as a native module in
python 2.5.x. The first release of the version written in pure python was
dated 4/30/2008.
I have used the original version of this software extensively since it's
initial incarnation in August of 2007. I have used this pure python
version since I ported it to sqlite. There is no real difference that I
can see in the two versions, except the pure python version is easier to
maintain, albeit slightly slower. I would consider this beta quality
software, tested somewhat in real usage but not full production yet. I am
currently writing a novel and use this software daily for that purpose.
I, David May, am the sole party of blame in the production of this
application. It was conceived and written by me from scratch. You can
get plotdb with my compliments at:
http://w3.cnm.edu/~dmay/plotdb.html
plotdb is released under GPL v.2. I am willing, as time permits, to
incorporate changes made by users into the application. I am particularly
interested in portability changes that allow plotdb to be used on Windows
or Mac, since I use Linux almost exclusively. You can contact me at
dmay at cnm dot edu
If this is not the correct forum to announce this software, please accept
my apologies in advance. And thanks in advance for any direction anyone
can provide on where else this should be posted to capture the largest
audience of interest. I do not lurk this list, so please respond to my
email as well as (or in lieu of) posting to the list.
Kind regards,
David F. May
"It's just a flesh wound!" - Student Review
Just a quick reminder that it's not too late to register for my upcoming Python Bootcamp
course at Big Nerd Ranch, June 9 - 13 in Atlanta, GA.
http://www.bignerdranch.com/classes/python.shtml
This class is an intense hands-on introduction to Python and its standard libraries. Even
if you've used Python before, this class may have a lot to offer as it is fully up-to-date
with modern Python features.
The above web site has more information, but feel free to contact me personally for more
details about the class.
Cheers,
