Announcing : PLY-3.0 (Python Lex-Yacc)
http://www.dabeaz.com/ply
I'm pleased to announce a significant new update to PLY---a 100% Python
implementation of the common parsing tools lex and yacc. PLY-3.0 adds
compatibility for Python 2.6 and 3.0, provides some new customization
options, and cleans up a lot of internal implementation details.
If you are new to PLY, here are a few highlights:
- PLY is closely modeled after traditional lex/yacc. If you know how
to use these or similar tools in other languages, you will find
PLY to be comparable.
- PLY provides very extensive error reporting and diagnostic
information to assist in parser construction. The original
implementation was developed for instructional purposes. As
a result, the system tries to identify the most common types
of errors made by novice users.
- PLY provides full support for empty productions, error recovery,
precedence rules, and ambiguous grammars.
- Parsing is based on LR-parsing which is fast, memory efficient,
better suited to large grammars, and which has a number of nice
properties when dealing with syntax errors and other parsing
problems. Currently, PLY can build its parsing tables using
either SLR or LALR(1) algorithms.
More information about PLY can be obtained on the PLY webpage at:
http://www.dabeaz.com/ply
PLY is freely available and is licensed under the terms of the Lesser
GNU Public License (LGPL).
Cheers,
David Beazley (http://www.dabeaz.com)
Webware for Python 1.0.1 has been released.
This is the first bugfix release for Webware for Python release 1.0,
mainly fixing a problem that could appear when communicating with the
threaded application server over a network connection. See the WebKit
release notes for details.
Webware for Python is a suite of Python packages and tools for
developing object-oriented, web-based applications. The suite uses well
known design patterns and includes a fast Application Server, Servlets,
Python Server Pages (PSP), Object-Relational Mapping, Task Scheduling,
Session Management, and many other features. Webware is very modular and
easily extended.
Webware for Python is well proven and platform-independent. It is

Chicago Python User Group
=========================
Go ChiPy! After last month's hugely successful language comparison
mayhem, the world's most successful user group strikes again!
Robots and OS Packaging, are the major topic areas.
James Snyder, from Northwestern University's Biomedical Engineering
Department, will be serializing Arduino microcontroller with Python
for robotic pursuits. Jason Huggins, co-founder of Sauce Labs Inc and
creator of Selenium, will follow up with a quick demo of his Arduino-
based Ambient Orb clone, called 'orbison' (http://code.google.com/p/orbison/
).
For the second part, Cosmin Stejerean, software engineering and
computer security specialist, will cover how to package your Python
package with tools like py2app and py2exe. Massimo Di Pierro,
professor at DePaul CTI, will get some brief help porting his popular
web2py Enterprise Web Framework to a linux package from a live
audience. Let's see if it is possible in 10 minutes!
Last but not least, William Scullin, Argonne National Laboratory and
cheese lover, will present on bcfg2, a tool written in Python for
system administrators to fingerprint their environment and about
Python, in general, on IBM's BlueGene /P supercompter.
There will be a moment of silence in respect to Unix Timestamp
