pystuck.py is a utility for analyzing stuck python programs (or just
hardcore debugging).
pystuck currently has two major features:
1. print all running threads' stack traces. (good for finding a long-
lasting/blocking function)
2. remote inspection of modules and variables without interrupting the
program. (finding deadlocks and such)
more examples, usage and installation notes can be found here:

pytest-2.2.1: bug fixes, better teardowns
===========================================================================
pytest-2.2.1 is a minor backward-compatible release of the the py.test
testing tool. It contains bug fixes and little improvements, including
documentation fixes. If you are using the distributed testing plugin
make sure to upgrade it to pytest-xdist-1.8.
For general information see here:
http://pytest.org/
To install or upgrade pytest:
pip install -U pytest # or
easy_install -U pytest
Special thanks for helping on this release to Ronny Pfannschmidt, Jurko
Gospodnetic and Ralf Schmitt.

holger krekel
Changes between 2.2.0 and 2.2.1
----------------------------------------
- fix issue99 (in pytest and py) internallerrors with resultlog now
produce better output - fixed by normalizing pytest_internalerror
input arguments.
- fix issue97 / traceback issues (in pytest and py) improve traceback output
in conjunction with jinja2 and cython which hack tracebacks
- fix issue93 (in pytest and pytest-xdist) avoid "delayed teardowns":
the final test in a test node will now run its teardown directly
instead of waiting for the end of the session. Thanks Dave Hunt for
the good reporting and feedback. The pytest_runtest_protocol as well
as the pytest_runtest_teardown hooks now have "nextitem" available
which will be None indicating the end of the test run.
- fix collection crash due to unknown-source collected items, thanks
to Ralf Schmitt (fixed by depending on a more recent pylib)
We'd like to announce the release candidate for
HTSQL 2.1, a high-level query language and web
service gateway for relational databases. HTSQL
is specifically designed for analytical inquiries
and targeted to data analysts and web developers.
HTSQL is implemented as a WSGI component, works
with PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite and could be used
to embed ad-hoc reporting features into your
Python application.
Homepage: http://htsql.org
Download: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/HTSQL/
Source: http://bitbucket.org/prometheus/htsql
Since 2.0 release, announced in February, we added many
new language features which increase the "query power"
of the language. HTSQL is now able to express quite
sophisticated business inquiries.
The 2.2 release of HTSQL later this year will be
focused on "usability". It'll include improved
configuration, a query editor and formatting options.
Also for this release we've cleaned up the homepage
for HTRAF -- a javascript toolkit for constructing
attractive dashboards and interactive reports. This
toolkit is MIT licensed and implemented as a JQuery
plugin. For more detail, please visit http://htraf.org.
Let's us know if you have any questions!

***********************************************************
HTSQL -- A Query Language for the Accidental Programmer
***********************************************************
HTSQL ("Hyper Text Structured Query Language") is a high-level query
language for relational databases. The target audience for HTSQL is
the accidental programmer -- one who is not a SQL expert, yet needs a
usable, comprehensive query tool for data access and reporting.
HTSQL is also a web service which takes a request via HTTP, translates
it into a SQL query, executes the query against a relational database,
and returns the results in a format requested by the user agent (JSON,
CSV, HTML, etc.).
Use of HTSQL with open source databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite) is
royalty free under BSD-style conditions. Use of HTSQL with proprietary
database systems (Oracle, Microsoft SQL) requires a commercial license.
See ``LICENSE`` for details.
For installation instructions, see ``INSTALL``. For list of new
features in this release, see ``NEWS``. HTSQL documentation is in the
``doc`` directory.

Hi all,
I'm glad to inform you about new release 0.37 (2011-Dec-15) of our
free software:
OpenOpt (numerical optimization):
IPOPT initialization time gap (time till first iteration) for
FuncDesigner models has been decreased
Some improvements and bugfixes for interalg, especially for
"search all SNLE solutions" mode (Systems of Non Linear Equations)
Eigenvalue problems (EIG) (in both OpenOpt and FuncDesigner)
Equality constraints for GLP (global) solver de
Some changes for goldenSection ftol stop criterion
GUI func "manage" - now button "Enough" works in Python3, but "Run/
Pause" not yet (probably something with threading and it will be fixed
in Python instead)
FuncDesigner:
Major sparse Automatic differentiation improvements for badly-
vectorized or unvectorized problems with lots of constraints (except
of box bounds); some problems now work many times or orders faster (of
course not faster than vectorized problems with insufficient number of
variable arrays). It is recommended to retest your large-scale
problems with useSparse = 'auto' | True| False
Two new methods for splines to check their quality: plot and
residual
Solving ODE dy/dt = f(t) with specifiable accuracy by interalg
Speedup for solving 1-dimensional IP by interalg
SpaceFuncs and DerApproximator:
Some code cleanup
You may trace OpenOpt development information in our recently created
entries in Twitter and Facebook, see http://openopt.org for details.

what is it
----------
A Python package to parse and build CSS Cascading Style Sheets.
(Not a renderer though!)
about this release
------------------
0.9.8 is the latest stable release.
main changes
------------
since last stable release 0.9.7
- Python 3 support. Sadly Python 2.4 support is gone with this release as
it is too complex to have 3.x and <=2.4 support.
- some API changes mainly for CSS values. Removed already DEPRECATED stuff.
- validation can be disabled now
- performance improvements
- lots of minor bugfixes and improvements
- moved source code from Google Code over to BitBucket
see the CHANGELOG for a complete list of changes.
since last alpha release:
- FEATURE: Feature Request (#4) to be able to disable validation of
a stylesheet has been implemented. Add Parameter ``validate=False`` for
parsing (only for parsing of stylesheets not single styledeclarations yet).
+ BUGFIX: Fixed #5 Unicode escaping inside strings. Thanks to Simon
Sapin
+ BUGFIX: The integer is optional in counter-reset and
counter-increment, and not only on the first counter. Thanks to Simon Sapin
+ BUGFIX: Fix for unicode replacements by Denis Bilenko, thanks!
https://bitbucket.org/cthedot/cssutils/pull-request/1/fix-a-bug-in-regex-wh…
- IMPROVEMENT: ``parseStyle`` moved to CSSParser, thanks to Simon Sapin
license
-------
cssutils is published under the LGPL version 3 or later, see
http://cthedot.de/cssutils/
If you have other licensing needs please let me know.
download
--------
For download options see http://cthedot.de/cssutils/
cssutils needs Python 2.5 and higher or Jython 2.5 and higher (tested with
Python 2.7.2(x64), 2.6.5(x64), 2.5.4(x32) and Jython 2.5.1 on Win7x64
only). Python 2.4 is no longer supported.
Bug reports (via BitBucket), comments, etc are very much appreciated!
Thanks.
Christof
