ANN: eGenix mxODBC Connect 1.0.2 - Python Database Interface
by eGenix Team: M.-A. Lemburg June 29, 2009

June 29, 2009

________________________________________________________________________ ANNOUNCING eGenix.com mxODBC Connect Python Database Interface Version 1.0.2 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-1.0.2-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 1.0.2 is a patch-level release of our new mxODBC Connect product. * More Secure We have upgraded the server to our latest eGenix pyOpenSSL release 0.9.0-0.9.8k, which includes a number of important bug fixes to both pyOpenSSL and the used OpenSSL library. * More Robust Previous versions had a timeout issue that we have solved with this release. We have have also added a special case for shutting down the client with a broken server connection. In such cases, the client will no longer wait for a timeout and terminate much faster. * Ideal for Building Bridges mxODBC Connect Client now works on all major Python platforms. As a result, connecting from e.g. Linux or Mac OS X to an SQL Server database has never been easier. You can even keep the data sources you already have configured on your Windows machine and connect to them as if your application were running on the database server itself. ________________________________________________________________________ UPGRADING You are encouraged to upgrade to this latest mxODBC Connect release. When upgrading, please always upgrade both the server and the client installations to the same version - even for patch level releases. Customers who have purchased mxODBC Connect 1.0 licenses can download and upgrade their existing installations without having to purchase new licenses or upgrades. The licenses will continue to work with version 1.0.2. Users of our stand-alone mxODBC product will have to purchase new licenses from our online shop in order to use mxODBC Connect. You can request 30-day evaluation licenses by visiting our web-site or writing to sales(a)egenix.com, stating your name (or the name of the company) and the number of eval licenses that you need. http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxODBCConnect/#Evaluation ________________________________________________________________________ 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/ If you want to try the package, jump straight to the download instructions: https://cms.egenix.com/products/python/mxODBCConnect/#Download Fully functional evaluation licenses for the mxODBC Connect Server are available free of charge: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxODBCConnect/#Evaluation mxODBC Connect Client is always free of charge. _______________________________________________________________________ SUPPORT Commercial support for this product is available from eGenix.com.

by Benjamin Peterson June 27, 2009

June 27, 2009

On behalf of the Python development team, I'm thrilled to announce the first production release of Python 3.1. Python 3.1 focuses on the stabilization and optimization of the features and changes that Python 3.0 introduced. For example, the new I/O system has been rewritten in C for speed. File system APIs that use unicode strings now handle paths with undecodable bytes in them. Other features include an ordered dictionary implementation, a condensed syntax for nested with statements, and support for ttk Tile in Tkinter. For a more extensive list of changes in 3.1, see http://doc.python.org/3.1/whatsnew/3.1.html or Misc/NEWS in the Python distribution. To download Python 3.1 visit: http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.1/ The 3.1 documentation can be found at: http://docs.python.org/3.1 Bugs can always be reported to: http://bugs.python.org Enjoy! -- Benjamin Peterson Release Manager benjamin at python.org (on behalf of the entire python-dev team and 3.1's contributors)

Nagare 0.2.0 - Components and continuation-based web framework
by Alain Poirier June 26, 2009

June 26, 2009

Hi all, The version 0.2.0 of the Nagare web framework is now released ! To read about its features: http://www.nagare.org/trac/wiki/NagareFeatures Release info and download page: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/nagare Release info and download page of the examples: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/nagare.examples Source and documentation available at the website: http://www.nagare.org Mailing lists - the place to ask questions: http://groups.google.com/group/nagare-users About Nagare ============ Nagare is a components based framework: a Nagare application is a composition of interacting components each one with its own state and workflow kept on the server. Each component can have one or several views that are composed to generate the final web page. This enables the developers to reuse or write highly reusable components easily and quickly. Thanks to Stackless Python, Nagare is also a continuation-based web framework which enables to code a web application like a desktop application, with no need to split its control flow in a multitude of controllers and with the automatic handling of the back, fork and refresh actions from the browser. Its component model and use of the continuation come from the famous Seaside Smalltalk framework. Furthermore Nagare integrates the best tools and standard from the Python world. For example: - WSGI: binds the application to several possible publishers, - lxml: generates the DOM trees and brings to Nagare the full set of XML features (XSL, XPath, Schemas ...), - setuptools: installs, deploys and extends the Nagare framework and the Nagare applications too, - PEAK Rules: generic methods are heavily used in Nagare, to associate views to components, to define security rules, to translate Python code to Javascript ... - WebOb: for its Request and Response Objects. Examples ======== A complete "guess a number" game to taste how easy web coding becomes using continuations: import random from nagare import component, util class Number(component.Task): """A little game to guess a number """ def go(self, comp): """The game algorithm, using continuation for a pure linear Python code In: - ``comp`` -- this component """ self.attempt = 1 number = random.randint(1, 20) comp.call(util.Confirm('I choose a number between 1 and 20. Try to guess it')) while True: x = comp.call(util.Ask('Try #%d: ' % self.attempt)) if not x.isdigit(): continue x = int(x) if x > number: comp.call(util.Confirm('Choose a lower number')) if x < number: comp.call(util.Confirm('Choose a greater number')) if x == number: comp.call(util.Confirm('You guessed the number in %d attempts' % self.attempt)) break self.attempt += 1 A simple todo list, illustrating the programmatic HTML generation, the association of view(s) to Python objects and the direct association of callbacks to HTML form elements and links: from nagare import presentation from nagare.namespaces import xhtml # A plain Python ``TodoList`` class class TodoList(object): def __init__(self): self.todo = [] def add_todo(self, msg): self.todo.append(msg) # The default HTML view, generated in programmatic HTML @presentation.render_for(TodoList) def render(self, h, comp, model): # ``h`` is a (X)HTML renderer (http://www.nagare.org/trac/wiki/RendererObjects) with h.div: for msg in self.todo: h << h.blockquote(msg) << h.hr with h.form: h << 'New todo:' << h.br h << h.textarea.action(self.add_todo) << h.br h << h.input(type='submit', value='Add') return h.root 0.2.0 Changelog =============== Python Stackless 2.6.2 is now the recommanded Python version. New features ------------ - When an AJAX update contains CSS or Javascript urls, they are correctly fetched. - Multiple AJAX updates object added - Session lock added (distributed lock when memcached is used) - A session can now contains SQLAlchemy (and Elixir) entities - LRU management of the sessions and continuations - ``nagare-admin create-rules`` administrative command added. Generation of the Apache / lighttpd / ngnix rewrite rules to serve the statics contents. See :wiki:`NagareAdmin` - ``nagare-admin batch`` administrative command added. To execute Python statements. See :wiki:`NagareAdmin` - Easy WSGI pipe creation - An application can now be registered under several urls - The automatic reloader can be configured with a list of files to watch - API to logout and change the user identity/password added - automatic generation of a ``link(rel="canonical" ...)`` in the page header as an alias without the session and continuation parameters - ``min_compress_len`` parameter added in the memcached configuration - YUI AJAX modules updated to 2.7.0 - SQLAlchemy updated to 0.5.x Changes ------- - Complete refactoring of the AJAX communication. The "wire" format is now Javascript. - ``component.Component.init()`` and ``presentation.init_for()`` API changes. See :wiki:`RestfulUrl` Bugs fixed ---------- - #19, #23, #26: race condition in the sessions management - #22: don't clear the registered callbacks when an image is served - #21: set the security context at the beginning of the request handling - #13, #14: python to javascript translation updated Enjoy!

bzr 1.16.1 released!
by Jonathan Lange June 26, 2009

June 26, 2009

We discovered a couple of bugs in the 1.16 release that we simply had to fix now. As such... The Bazaar team is mostly happy & just a little bit embarrassed to announce availability of a new release of the bzr adaptive version control system. Bazaar is part of the GNU system <http://gnu.org/>. End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first, #365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking. This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed intermittently. The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format. Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed. Thanks in particular to Robert Collins and John Arbash Meinel for fixing these bugs. Bazaar is now available for download from http://bazaar-vcs.org/Download as a source tarball; packages for various systems will be available soon. Bug Fixes ********* * We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563) * Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615) * ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection* of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this, incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563) * ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the converted data. (Robert Collins) * ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins) * ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do that. (Robert Collins) * RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the repository. (Robert Collins) * ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call ``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by ``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation. (Robert Collins, #376748)
