Hello world and the best wishes for 2011 for all of you ! i'm pleased to announce version 0.6 of JSONBOT, a release that saw it's complete codebase refactored. Things have moved into their own package, making it easier to distribute JSONBOT to the various OS around. I even renamed the name of the distribution to "jsb", so use the jsb-0.6.tar.gz or "easy_install jsb" to get this version of JSONBOT. So once again i need to ask existing users to upgrade their JSONBOT install, see http://jsonbot.appspot.com/docs/html/handbook/UPGRADE.html for instructions on how to do that. Functionality of the bot is the same as 0.5. For more information on JSONBOT, see http://jsonbot.googlecode.com or join us on #dunkbots Freenode. Bot documentation and demo is on http://jsonbot.appspot.com I hope you enjoy this release of JSONBOT, i'm glad i can start working on 0.7 ;] About JSONBOT: JSONBOT is a remote event-driven framework for building bots that talk JSON to each other over XMPP. This distribution provides bots built on this framework for console, IRC, XMPP for the shell and WWW and XMPP for the Google Application engine. JSONBOT is all of the following: * a shell console bot * a shell IRC bot * a shell XMPP bot * a Web bot running on Google Application Engine * a XMPP bot running on Google Application Engine * a Google Wave bot running op Google Application Engine * the XMPP bots are used to communicate between bots * plugin infrastructure to write your own functionality * event driven framework by the use of callbacks Bart

ANN: elffile-0.001
by K. Richard Pixley Jan. 4, 2011

Jan. 4, 2011

Announcing the first release of elffile! Elffile is a pure python implementation of a library which reads and writes ELF format object files Current features: * Elffile is pure python so installation is easy. * Elffile has been tested on python versions 2.[67] and 3.[012]. * Reads both 32 and 64 bit formats in both big and little endian order. * Reads and writes file header, section header table, sections, and the section name string section. * Reads program header table. This is sufficient to compare two object files to determine if they are equivalent aside from having been built at different times and in different file system locations which was my initial goal. --rich

Hello, About LDTP: Linux Desktop Testing Project is aimed at producing high quality test automation framework (using GNOME / Python) and cutting-edge tools that can be used to test Linux Desktop and improve it. It uses the Accessibility libraries to poke through the application's user interface. We strive to help in building a quality desktop. Changes in this release: Added documentation files from LDTPv1 and updated accordingly Search object name as unicode character and mutliline Print Unicode exception, instead of string. Printing string fails, if non-ascii strings are in exception string Performance improvement: When looking for object inside a window without any delay, utilize all the CPU, just delay the lookup every 2 seconds Don't force remap on gechild, getobjectlist, getobjectproperty, unless the window object is changed, as this utilizes more CPU New API: getmax - Get max value of spin button getmin - Get min value of spin button startlog - Start logging to file stoplog - Stop logging to file startprocessmonitor - Start monitoring the given process stopprocessmonitor - Stop monitoring the given process getcpustat - Get the current CPU statistics of the given process getmemorystat - Get the current memory statistics of the given process registerkbevent - Register keyboard event deregisterkbevent - De-Register keyboard event getobjectnameatcoords - Get window / object name in LDTP format based on the current mouse co-ordinates Bugs fixed: 619575: Raise a more descriptive error when a child is not found 620343: setcellvalue is not implemented in LDTP2 624690: LDTP2.0.6 cannot type comma ', ' use function 'enterstring' 624678: Cannot identifiy some dialogs of OpenOffice3.2 635047: 'comboselect' doesn't work when specify component name listed in 'getobjectlist' 638229 - onwindowcreate fails with CannotSendRequest with python2.7 638226 - Missing import socket in ldtp/__init__.py Special thanks: Ara Pulido, JB Lallement - Ubuntu Mago team Eitan Isaacson Brian Nitz - Oracle / Sun Download source: http://download.freedesktop.org/ldtp/2.x/2.1.x/ldtp-2.1.0.tar.gz Download RPM from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/anagappan:/ldtp2:/rpm/ Will schedule deb build in openSUSE build service later Documentation references: For detailed information on LDTP framework and latest updates visit http://ldtp.freedesktop.org For information on various APIs in LDTP including those added for this release can be got from http://ldtp.freedesktop.org/user-doc/index.html Report bugs - http://ldtp.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs To subscribe to LDTP mailing lists, visit http://ldtp.freedesktop.org/wiki/Mailing_20list IRC Channel - #ldtp on irc.freenode.net Thanks Nagappan -- Linux Desktop (GUI Application) Testing Project - http://ldtp.freedesktop.org http://nagappanal.blogspot.com

First release of Proteus
by ced Jan. 3, 2011

Jan. 3, 2011

Proteus is a Python library to access Tryton [1] server. (Tryton is a three-tiers high-level general purpose application platform) It can be used through XML-RPC or by using trytond as module and provides an Active Record pattern enabling you to interact pythonically with your Tryton server. Its common usages are: - scripting for automatic actions - scenario testing - automatic setup - basement for a CLI (with iPython, bpython etc.) - basement for a minimal client Here is some example usage: At first you import the necessary functions >>> from proteus import config, Model, Wizard Then you can create a database and install the `party` module into it >>> config = config.set_trytond(':memory:', database_type='sqlite') >>> Module = Model.get('ir.module.module') >>> party, = Module.find([('name', '=', 'party')]) >>> Module.button_install([party.id], config.context) >>> Wizard('ir.module.module.install_upgrade').execute('start') We will then create a party, set her name and even her language >>> Party = Model.get('party.party') >>> party = Party() >>> party.name = 'ham' >>> party.save() >>> party.name u'ham' >>> party.id > 0 True Notice how addresses (which are a One2Many field for the party model) are handled just like Python list objects: >>> Address = Model.get('party.address') >>> address = Address() >>> party.addresses.append(address) >>> party.save() >>> party.addresses #doctest: +ELLIPSIS [proteus.Model.get('party.address')(...)] More on http://pypi.python.org/pypi/proteus/1.8.0 [1] http://www.tryton.org/

asciitable 0.5.0
by Tom Aldcroft Jan. 2, 2011

Jan. 2, 2011

I'd like to announce the release of version 0.5.0 of asciitable, an extensible module for reading and writing ASCII tables. This release features a new function to guess the table format from the supported formats within asciitable. This function is now called by default within asciitable.read(). http://cxc.harvard.edu/contrib/asciitable/#guess-table-format Other updates include: - Added support for whitespace (tab or space) delimited tables by setting the delimiter parameter to "\s". - Improved support for RDB tables by parsing the second line which specifies column type and (optionally) width. These values are written out if available when writing an RDB table. - More rigorous checking of format compatibility for several table formats. Regards, Tom Aldcroft
