Updated Cygwin Package (experimental): python-2.6.5-1
by Jason Tishler 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

*** Attention Cygwin Python module package maintainers *** *** Cygwin is migrating from Python 2.5 to 2.6... *** New News: === ==== I have released Cygwin Python 2.6.5-1 as experimental. The tarballs should be available on a Cygwin mirror near you shortly. The main purpose of this release is to begin the transition to make Python 2.6 the official Cygwin version. If you are one of the Cygwin Python module package maintainers, then please take this opportunity to build, test, and change (if necessary) your package to support Python 2.6. Note the following: 1. 2.6.5-1 is experimental and 2.5.5-1 remains current. I will update Cygwin to make 2.6.5-1 (or later) current on or about June 1, 2010. 2. You need to select the 'Exp' radio button when running Cygwin's setup.exe to install 2.6.5-1. 3. If you install 2.6.5-1, then any 2.5 module will no longer work. Old News: === ==== Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. If interested, see the Python web site for more details: http://www.python.org/ Please read the README file: /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/python.README since it covers requirements, installation, known issues, etc. Standard News: ======== ==== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: cygwin(a)cygwin.com . *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.

oursql 0.9.2 released -- better mysql for python 2/3
by Aaron Gallagher 28 Apr '10

28 Apr '10

oursql 0.9.2 has been released, making it now the only mysql driver for python that runs on python 3.x. For source, windows binaries, issue tracking, and basically everything, see https://launchpad.net/oursql oursql was basically written to work all-around better than MySQLdb. I'll get benchmarks up soonish showing that it's also generally more performant. From the documentation, here's a short list of reasons why you should use oursql over MySQLdb: * oursql has real parameterization, sending the SQL and data to mysql completely separately. * oursql allows text or binary data to be streamed into the database and streamed out of the database, instead of requiring everything to be buffered in the client. * oursql can both insert rows lazily and fetch rows lazily. * oursql has unicode support on by default, as well as making more of an effort to ensure that . * oursql supports python 2.4 through 3.1 without any deprecation warnings on 2.6+ (see PEP 218), without completely failing on 2.7 (see PEP 328), and without requiring the user to mess around with 2to3 on 3.x. * oursql is licensed under the BSD license.

[ANN] CubicWeb 3.8 released
by Sylvain Thénault 28 Apr '10

28 Apr '10

CubicWeb 3.8.0 went out last week, but now we have tested it, produced a 3.8.1, it's show time! What's new in CubicWeb 3.8? One of the most important change is http server update to move from deadend twisted.web2 to twisted.web. With this change come the possibility to configure the maximum size of POST request in the configuration file (was hard-coded to 100Mo before). Other changes include: * CubicWeb should now be installable through **pip** or **easy_install**. This is still experimental, and we don't use it that much so please, give us some feedback! Some cubes are now also pipable (comment, blog...), but more will come with new releases. * .execute() function lost is cache key argument. This is a great news since it was a pain to explain and most cubicweb users didn't know how to handle it well (and I'm thre greatest beneficer since I won't have to explain over and over again) * nicer schema and workflow views * refactored web session handling, which should now be cleaner, clearer, hence less buggy... * nicer skeleton generation for new cubes, cleaner __pkginfo__ (you don't have to define both __depends__ / __depends_cubes__ or __recommends__ / __recommends_cubes__ in the general case, and other cleanups) Enjoy! -- Sylvain Thénault LOGILAB, Paris (France) Formations Python, Debian, Méth.

[ANN] pyjamas 0.7 released
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton 25 Apr '10

25 Apr '10

pyjamas - the stand-alone python-to-javascript compiler, and separate GUI Widget Toolkit, has its 0.7 release, today. this has been much delayed, in order to allow the community plenty of time between the 0.7pre2 release and the final release, to review and test all the examples. pyjamas allows developers to create applications that will run either in any modern web browser (with no plugins required) or as a stand-alone cross-platform desktop application (like PyQT4 or PyGTK2), WITHOUT requiring modifications to the original python source. this concept is singularly unique in the free software python world, but is conceptually similar to Adobe AIR and Silverlight - without the massive plugins required. there has been significant improvements, features and libraries added in between 0.6 and 0.7: please see the README in the distribution for details. for fits and giggles, to show what's possible in only 400 lines of python, here is a game of asteroids, written by joe rumsey. yes, it runs under pyjamas-desktop too. http://pyjs.org/examples/asteroids/public/Space.html For more information, see: http://pyjs.org http://pyjs.org/FAQ.html http://pyjs.org/features.html http://groups.google.com/group/pyjamas-dev downloads: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pyjamas http://code.google.com/p/pyjamas http://sf.net/projects/pyjamas known major bugs: http://code.google.com/p/pyjamas/issues #391 (google chrome beta) #384 (text selection on opera 10.51) contributions and investigations by community members to fix these and other issues welcomed and encouraged.
