PyBindGen is a Python module that is geared to generating C/C++ code that
binds a C/C++ library for Python. It does so without extensive use of either
C++ templates or C pre-processor macros. It has modular handling of C/C++
types, and can be easily extended with Python plugins. The generated code is
almost as clean as what a human programmer would write.
It can be downloaded from:
http://code.google.com/p/pybindgen/
Bug reports should be filed here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/pybindgen
Special thanks to Roman Yakovenko (lots of help with pygccxml) and Mathieu
Lacage (API suggestions, documentation writing).
=== pybindgen 0.9 ===

I am pleased to announce Version 1.0 of bliptv.reader, a package for
easy access to videos hosted on blip.tv. You can get it via PyPI:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bliptv.reader
What is bliptv.reader?
----------------------
bliptv.reader is a Python wrapper around the API of video hosting
service blip.tv. It gives you easy access to shows and episodes and many
properties of them. Of course you can also easily access the actual
video files including their filesize and dimensions.
For a full explanation of the motivation behind it and some example code
have a look at my blog post about it:
http://tinyurl.com/64t7tv

I'm pleased to announce jaraco.nxt 1.0, the first public release of a
library for communicating with the Lego Mindstorms NXT devices.
A minimal web site has been set up at:
http://www.jaraco.com/projects/jaraco.nxt
The modules have been uploaded to PyPI and should be installable using:
easy_install jaraco.nxt
The source is also available from PyPI.
The package implements the Bluetooth API, as specified in the Lego SDK.
The modules should work in any OS that supports the Bluetooth Serial
protocol and the pyserial library.
Additionally, a module is provided that implements receiving input from
an XBox 360 controller via the Microsoft XInput library (requires
ctypes).
This project is very much a work in progress, and any patches are
welcome.

I am pleased to announce version 2.15.2 of the Python bindings for GObject.
The new release is available from ftp.gnome.org as and its mirrors
as soon as its synced correctly:
http://download.gnome.org/sources/pygobject/2.15/
What's new since PyGObject 2.15.2?
2.15.2 26-jul-2008
- New module: glib, which contains the parts of the old
gobject bindings which are in the glib library.
MainLoop/MainContext/Sources/GOption and a few others has now
moved.
- Add a new installed library libpyglib-2.0, which contains the
extension API for third-part modules instead of relying on macros
which accesses struct fields.
- Add bindings for gio.File.enumerate_children_async,
gio.FileEnumerator.next_files_async, gio.Mount.mount,
gio.File.mount_mountable, gio.File.mount_enclosing_volume,
gio.File.unmount_mountable, gio.File.copy.
- Add a new api for mapping a GError domain to an exception and
register an exception for GIOError.
- Remove leading IO_* prefix for the gio flags and register a quark
for the domain.
- Use GSlice in the glib module and bump required version to 2.14.
Blurb:
GObject is a object system library used by GTK+ and GStreamer.
PyGObject provides a convenient wrapper for the GObject+ library for use
in Python programs, and takes care of many of the boring details such as
managing memory and type casting. When combined with PyGTK, PyORBit and
gnome-python, it can be used to write full featured Gnome applications.
Like the GObject library itself PyGObject is licensed under the
GNU LGPL, so is suitable for use in both free software and proprietary
applications. It is already in use in many applications ranging
from small single purpose scripts up to large full
featured applications.
PyGObject requires glib >= 2.14.0 and Python >= 2.3.5 to build.
GIO bindings require glib >= 2.16.0.

Hello all,
I happy to announce that ActiveState Code has been taken out of beta.
This is the new site replacing the ASPN Cookbooks -- in particular the
Python Cookbook.
http://code.activestate.com/
The site was soft-launched two weeks ago, and I believe it is ready for
real use now. All old ASPN Cookbook links will now redirect to the new
site. All user and recipe ids have been maintained to make transition
easier. The old cookbook categories are now done with tags, links to the
category pages have been maintained via redirects. Details on the
category -> tag translation are here:
http://code.activestate.com/aspnredir/categories/
Full details of the launch are here:
http://trentm.com/blog/archives/2008/07/24/activestate-code-lauched/
But really it is more fun to just browse around.
Just Python recipes:
http://code.activestate.com/recipes/langs/python/
I hadn't known that Raymond Hettinger had 4 of the top 5 voted recipes.
This is handy for seeing the most prolific authors:
http://code.activestate.com/recipes/users/
Alex Martelli's recipes are always good reading:
http://code.activestate.com/recipes/users/97991/
Personally, I hope tagging (http://code.activestate.com/recipes/tags/)
will enable things like:
- developing a set of examples for using "ctypes" (I struggled a lot
when getting going with ctypes)
- showing example usages of a lot of the modules in the stdlib. For
example, the logging module is capable of a *lot*, but more example
configurations would help me use it.
I welcome all feedback.
Cheers,
Trent

This is a Content Management System built on Python & itools, among
other features ikaaro provides:
- content and document management (index&search, metadata, etc.)
- multilingual user interfaces and content
- high level modules: wiki, forum, tracker, etc.
This is a bug-fix release. Among others, there are several fixes for
the tracker and for sending emails. Also, TinyMCE has been upgraded
to the 3.0.9 version.
But maybe most important is the move of the web site to a new domain
name, now http://www.hforge.org/ will be hosting ikaaro and related
projects.

I am very pleased to announce that version 0.6.0 of Elixir
(http://elixir.ematia.de) is now
available. As always, feedback is very welcome, preferably on Elixir
mailing list.
Please look at: http://elixir.ematia.de/trac/wiki/Migrate05to06 for
detailed upgrade notes.
Here are the highlights for this release:
- Added support for SQLAlchemy 0.5
- Better support for entities spread across several modules: in
relationship definitions, you don't have to use the "full path" to the
other entity anymore.
- Changed the default session characteristics to be more inline with
SQLAlchemy defaults (if you were using the default session, please
look at those upgrade notes!).
- New methods on the base entity to update entities from or dump
entities to a hierarchical (JSON-like) dictionary structure.
It also features a bunch of bugfixes, mostly related to non-default
schema and autoloaded entities.
The full list of changes can be seen at:
http://elixir.ematia.de/trac/browser/elixir/tags/0.6.0/CHANGES
What is Elixir?
---------------------
Elixir is a declarative layer on top of the SQLAlchemy library. It is
a fairly thin wrapper, which provides the ability to create simple
Python classes that map directly to relational database tables (this
pattern is often referred to as the Active Record design pattern),
providing many of the benefits of traditional databases without losing
the convenience of Python objects.
Elixir is intended to replace the ActiveMapper SQLAlchemy extension,
and the TurboEntity project but does not intend to replace
SQLAlchemy's core features, and instead focuses on providing a simpler
syntax for defining model objects when you do not need the full
expressiveness of SQLAlchemy's manual mapper definitions.

Dear Elisa Users,
The Elisa team is happy to announce the second official release of the
0.5 series of the Elisa Media Center, Elisa 0.5.2 'Good news everyone...'.
With this release Elisa takes another step towards its goal of being a
true cross-platform media center. It works under Windows Vista and XP,
as well as the main Linux distributions.
The main outlines of this release are:
- The integration of a media scanner that indexes one's music collection
and allows one to browse it by Artists/Albums, with automatic albums'
covers and artists' photos retrieval;
- The localization of the UI. Thanks to contributions from the community
Elisa is currently fully translated in Spanish, Catalan, French,
Italian, German, Dutch, Polish, Swedish and Brazilian Portuguese.
Various bugs have also been fixed since the release of Elisa 0.5.1, the
complete list can be found at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/elisa/+milestone/0.5.2
There are still some known issues in this release and we are working on
solving them as fast as possible:
- Audio Visualization does not work on Windows
- Audio CD are not detected
- DAAP client missing under Windows
- USB storage devices do not show up on Linux
To find out more on the progress of the project, you can check the
project's page on Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/elisa
Feel free to try it out! Elisa 0.5.2 can be downloaded from the website
at http://elisa.fluendo.com/download/.
You can also help us by suggesting cool features, reporting bugs,
submitting patches, writing plugins or localizing Elisa in your language.
Best regards,
The Elisa team
