[ANNOUNCE] PyGObject 2.27.91 (second 2.28 pre-release)
by John Palmieri Feb. 28, 2011

Feb. 28, 2011

I am pleased to announce version 2.27.91 of the Python bindings for GObject. We found some major blockers from the last release so this is a second pre-release for the upcoming 2.28.0 stable release. There is currently one more crasher bug on the blocker list. Once that is fixed and if there are no more blockers we will be releasing the stable version. Fixes in this release include the following: * ignore ginterfaces when doing method resolutions to avoid diamond inheritance issues * Fix union inheritance issues for Gdk.Event (e.g. Gdk.EventButton structure can be passed to interfaces which expect a Gdk.Event) * Override all Gdk.Event union members to export Gdk.Event methods * Leak instead of crashing if marshalling a C array and an error occurs - future releases will fix the leak * When setting rows in a TreeModel you can now pass None to indicate you wish to ignore a column * Fix setting types not represented in Python such as GObject.TYPE_UINT, when setting a TreeModel column * Flag and enum behaviour fixes * Typelibs now loaded at import time instead of lazy loading to fix name resolution issues from factories which return objects where the typelib is not yet loaded (e.g. GStreamer plugins) - this requires that application authors call the gi.require_version API BEFORE importing a module from gi.repository if they wish to specify a typelib version (e.g. gi.require_verison('Gtk', '3.0')) * don't load the gi module when using the static bindings * Gtk.Menu.popup fixed * Gtk.Cursor now API equivalent to PyGtk * Signal callbacks now convert foreign types (e.g. you get a PyCairo compatible context object in a 'draw' signal callback) * Gdk.Rectangle aliases cairo.RectangleInt correctly * fix the demos in gtk-demo.py * For a complete list of changes please read the NEWS file The new release is available from ftp.gnome.org and its mirrors: http://download.gnome.org/sources/pygobject/2.27/ Blurb: GObject is a object system library used by GTK+ and GStreamer. PyGObject provides a convenient wrapper for the GObject library for use in Python programs, and takes care of many of the boring details such as managing memory and type casting. When combined with PyGTK, PyORBit and gnome-python, it can be used to write full featured GNOME 2.0 applications. Like the GObject library itself PyGObject is licensed under the GNU LGPL, so is suitable for use in both free software and proprietary applications. It is already in use in many applications ranging from small single purpose scripts up to large full featured applications. PyGObject requires glib >= 2.22.4 and Python >= 2.5.1 to build. GIO bindings require glib >= 2.22.4. The Introspection module is the next generation Python GObject library bindings. Instead of statically wrapping every GObject based library we can now dynamically accesses any of those libraries using GObject Introspection. It replaces the need for separate modules such as PyGTK, GIO and python-gnome to build a full GNOME 3.0 application. Once new functionality is added to gobject library it is instantly available as a Python API without the need for an intermediate Python module. Introspection/Python 2 bindings requires gobject-introspection >= 0.9.5 and pycairo >=1.0.2 or py2cairo >=1.8.10 Introspection/Python 3 bindings requires gobject-introspection >= 0.9.5, pycairo >=1.8.10 and Python >= 3.1 -- John (J5) Palmieri Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.

ANN: SciPy 0.9.0
by Ralf Gommers Feb. 28, 2011

Feb. 28, 2011

I'm pleased to announce the release of SciPy 0.9.0. SciPy is a package of tools for science and engineering for Python. It includes modules for statistics, optimization, integration, linear algebra, Fourier transforms, signal and image processing, ODE solvers, and more. This release comes seven months after the 0.8.0 release and contains several new features, numerous bug-fixes, improved test coverage, and better documentation. This is the first release that supports Python 3 (with the exception of the scipy.weave module). Sources, binaries, documentation and release notes can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/scipy/files/scipy/0.9.0/ Thank you to everybody who contributed to this release. Enjoy, The SciPy developers ========================= SciPy 0.9.0 Release Notes ========================= .. contents:: SciPy 0.9.0 is the culmination of 6 months of hard work. It contains many new features, numerous bug-fixes, improved test coverage and better documentation. There have been a number of deprecations and API changes in this release, which are documented below. All users are encouraged to upgrade to this release, as there are a large number of bug-fixes and optimizations. Moreover, our development attention will now shift to bug-fix releases on the 0.9.x branch, and on adding new features on the development trunk. This release requires Python 2.4 - 2.7 or 3.1 - and NumPy 1.5 or greater. Please note that SciPy is still considered to have "Beta" status, as we work toward a SciPy 1.0.0 release. The 1.0.0 release will mark a major milestone in the development of SciPy, after which changing the package structure or API will be much more difficult. Whilst these pre-1.0 releases are considered to have "Beta" status, we are committed to making them as bug-free as possible. However, until the 1.0 release, we are aggressively reviewing and refining the functionality, organization, and interface. This is being done in an effort to make the package as coherent, intuitive, and useful as possible. To achieve this, we need help from the community of users. Specifically, we need feedback regarding all aspects of the project - everything - from which algorithms we implement, to details about our function's call signatures. Python 3 ======== Scipy 0.9.0 is the first SciPy release to support Python 3. The only module that is not yet ported is ``scipy.weave``. Scipy source code location to be changed ======================================== Soon after this release, Scipy will stop using SVN as the version control system, and move to Git. The development source code for Scipy can from then on be found at http://github.com/scipy/scipy New features ============ Delaunay tesselations (``scipy.spatial``) ----------------------------------------- Scipy now includes routines for computing Delaunay tesselations in N dimensions, powered by the Qhull_ computational geometry library. Such calculations can now make use of the new ``scipy.spatial.Delaunay`` interface. .. _Qhull: http://www.qhull.org/ N-dimensional interpolation (``scipy.interpolate``) --------------------------------------------------- Support for scattered data interpolation is now significantly improved. This version includes a ``scipy.interpolate.griddata`` function that can perform linear and nearest-neighbour interpolation for N-dimensional scattered data, in addition to cubic spline (C1-smooth) interpolation in 2D and 1D. An object-oriented interface to each interpolator type is also available. Nonlinear equation solvers (``scipy.optimize``) ----------------------------------------------- Scipy includes new routines for large-scale nonlinear equation solving in ``scipy.optimize``. The following methods are implemented: * Newton-Krylov (``scipy.optimize.newton_krylov``) * (Generalized) secant methods: - Limited-memory Broyden methods (``scipy.optimize.broyden1``, ``scipy.optimize.broyden2``) - Anderson method (``scipy.optimize.anderson``) * Simple iterations (``scipy.optimize.diagbroyden``, ``scipy.optimize.excitingmixing``, ``scipy.optimize.linearmixing``) The ``scipy.optimize.nonlin`` module was completely rewritten, and some of the functions were deprecated (see above). New linear algebra routines (``scipy.linalg``) ---------------------------------------------- Scipy now contains routines for effectively solving triangular equation systems (``scipy.linalg.solve_triangular``). Improved FIR filter design functions (``scipy.signal``) ------------------------------------------------------- The function ``scipy.signal.firwin`` was enhanced to allow the design of highpass, bandpass, bandstop and multi-band FIR filters. The function ``scipy.signal.firwin2`` was added. This function uses the window method to create a linear phase FIR filter with an arbitrary frequency response. The functions ``scipy.signal.kaiser_atten`` and ``scipy.signal.kaiser_beta`` were added. Improved statistical tests (``scipy.stats``) -------------------------------------------- A new function ``scipy.stats.fisher_exact`` was added, that provides Fisher's exact test for 2x2 contingency tables. The function ``scipy.stats.kendalltau`` was rewritten to make it much faster (O(n log(n)) vs O(n^2)). Deprecated features =================== Obsolete nonlinear solvers (in ``scipy.optimize``) -------------------------------------------------- The following nonlinear solvers from ``scipy.optimize`` are deprecated: - ``broyden_modified`` (bad performance) - ``broyden1_modified`` (bad performance) - ``broyden_generalized`` (equivalent to ``anderson``) - ``anderson2`` (equivalent to ``anderson``) - ``broyden3`` (obsoleted by new limited-memory broyden methods) - ``vackar`` (renamed to ``diagbroyden``) Removed features ================ The deprecated modules ``helpmod``, ``pexec`` and ``ppimport`` were removed from ``scipy.misc``. The ``output_type`` keyword in many ``scipy.ndimage`` interpolation functions has been removed. The ``econ`` keyword in ``scipy.linalg.qr`` has been removed. The same functionality is still available by specifying ``mode='economic'``. Old correlate/convolve behavior (in ``scipy.signal``) ----------------------------------------------------- The old behavior for ``scipy.signal.convolve``, ``scipy.signal.convolve2d``, ``scipy.signal.correlate`` and ``scipy.signal.correlate2d`` was deprecated in 0.8.0 and has now been removed. Convolve and correlate used to swap their arguments if the second argument has dimensions larger than the first one, and the mode was relative to the input with the largest dimension. The current behavior is to never swap the inputs, which is what most people expect, and is how correlation is usually defined. ``scipy.stats`` --------------- Many functions in ``scipy.stats`` that are either available from numpy or have been superseded, and have been deprecated since version 0.7, have been removed: `std`, `var`, `mean`, `median`, `cov`, `corrcoef`, `z`, `zs`, `stderr`, `samplestd`, `samplevar`, `pdfapprox`, `pdf_moments` and `erfc`. These changes are mirrored in ``scipy.stats.mstats``. ``scipy.sparse`` ---------------- Several methods of the sparse matrix classes in ``scipy.sparse`` which had been deprecated since version 0.7 were removed: `save`, `rowcol`, `getdata`, `listprint`, `ensure_sorted_indices`, `matvec`, `matmat` and `rmatvec`. The functions ``spkron``, ``speye``, ``spidentity``, ``lil_eye`` and ``lil_diags`` were removed from ``scipy.sparse``. The first three functions are still available as ``scipy.sparse.kron``, ``scipy.sparse.eye`` and ``scipy.sparse.identity``. The `dims` and `nzmax` keywords were removed from the sparse matrix constructor. The `colind` and `rowind` attributes were removed from CSR and CSC matrices respectively. ``scipy.sparse.linalg.arpack.speigs`` ------------------------------------- A duplicated interface to the ARPACK library was removed. Other changes ============= ARPACK interface changes ------------------------ The interface to the ARPACK eigenvalue routines in ``scipy.sparse.linalg`` was changed for more robustness. The eigenvalue and SVD routines now raise ``ArpackNoConvergence`` if the eigenvalue iteration fails to converge. If partially converged results are desired, they can be accessed as follows:: import numpy as np from scipy.sparse.linalg import eigs, ArpackNoConvergence m = np.random.randn(30, 30) try: w, v = eigs(m, 6) except ArpackNoConvergence, err: partially_converged_w = err.eigenvalues partially_converged_v = err.eigenvectors Several bugs were also fixed. The routines were moreover renamed as follows: - eigen --> eigs - eigen_symmetric --> eigsh - svd --> svds

ANN: mock 0.7.0 release candidate 1
by Fuzzyman Feb. 25, 2011

Feb. 25, 2011

There is a new release of mock: mock 0.7.0 rc1 http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mock This is intended to be the last release of mock before 0.7.0 final and the only changes anticipated are documentation changes which I've finally started work on. mock is a Python library for simple mocking and patching (replacing objects with mocks during test runs). The "headline features" in 0.7.0 are Python 3 support and the ability to mock magic methods. You can now mock objects that behave like containers or are used as context managers. mock is designed for use with unittest, based on the "action -> assertion" pattern rather than "record -> replay". People are happily using mock with Python test frameworks like nose and py.test. 0.7.0 is a major new release with a bunch of other new features and bugfixes as well. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mock/ (download) http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/mock/ (documentation) https://code.google.com/p/mock/ (repo and issue tracker) Changelog: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/mock/changelog.html#version-0-7-0-rc-1 Changes since beta 4: * Tested with jython, pypy and Python 3.2 and 3.1 * Decorated functions / methods have their docstring and __module__ preserved on Python 2.4 * BUGFIX: mock.patch now works correctly with certain types of objects that proxy attribute access, like the django settings object * BUGFIX: reset_mock caused infinite recursion when a mock is set as its own return value Michael Foord

ANN: ActivePython 3.2.0.0 is now available
by Sridhar Ratnakumar Feb. 23, 2011

Feb. 23, 2011

ActiveState is pleased to announce ActivePython 3.2.0.0, a complete, ready-to-install binary distribution of Python 3.2. http://www.activestate.com/activepython/downloads What's New in ActivePython-3.2.0.0 ================================== New Features & Upgrades ----------------------- - First ActivePython release based on Python 3.2 core - PyPM (beta) for Python 3.2 - Distribute (setuptools) - [Windows] Upgrade to PyWin32 CVS snapshot as of 2011-01-16 - [MacOSX] ``readline`` support via Apple's ``libedit`` library - OpenSSL 1.0.0d - [Windows] Fix a ``tarfile`` performance issue (`issue11224 <http://bugs.python.org/issue11224>`_) What's new in Python 3.2 ======================== * Stable ABI: Extension modules built for 3.2 can continue to work with 3.3, 3.4 and so on. * argparse: argparse, an improved alternative to optparse included in Python 2.7, is now available in 3.2 as well. * concurrent.futures: Inspired by java.util.concurrent.package, this module abstracts threads/processes/RPC-calls by way of abstract executors with support for status checks, timeouts, cancellations, callbacks, access to results or exceptions. futures makes it easier to switch from one concurrent implementation to another, eg: from thread to process pool. * PYC repository directories: Ever faced with ".pyc conflicts" between multiple Python versions? Python 3.2 introduced a new bytecode caching mechanism: foo.pyc gets a new name: __pycache__/foo.cpython-32.pyc (similarly for .so files) ... thus properly fixing such conflicts, even across different Python interpreter implementations. * WSGI for Python 3: The WSGI spec is now adapted for Python3's bytes/text distinction. See PEP 3333 for details. For the complete list of changes, see http://docs.activestate.com/activepython/3.2/python/whatsnew/3.2.html What is ActivePython? ===================== ActivePython is ActiveState's binary distribution of Python. Builds for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux are made freely available. Solaris, HP-UX and AIX builds, and access to older versions are available in ActivePython Business, Enterprise and OEM editions: http://www.activestate.com/python ActivePython includes the Python core and the many core extensions: zlib and bzip2 for data compression, the Berkeley DB (bsddb) and SQLite (sqlite3) database libraries, OpenSSL bindings for HTTPS support, the Tix GUI widgets for Tkinter, ElementTree for XML processing, ctypes (on supported platforms) for low-level library access, and others. The Windows distribution ships with PyWin32 -- a suite of Windows tools developed by Mark Hammond, including bindings to the Win32 API and Windows COM. ActivePython also includes a binary package manager for Python (PyPM) that can be used to install packages much easily. For example: C:\>pypm install numpy [...] C:\>python >>> import numpy.linalg >>> PyPM module availability for 3.2 can be seen at: http://code.activestate.com/pypm/tag:python3/ See this page for full details: http://docs.activestate.com/activepython/3.2/whatsincluded.html As well, ActivePython ships with a wealth of documentation for both new and experienced Python programmers. In addition to the core Python docs, ActivePython includes the "What's New in Python" series, "Dive into Python", the Python FAQs & HOWTOs, and the Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs). An online version of the docs can be found here: http://docs.activestate.com/activepython/3.2/ We would welcome any and all feedback to: activepython-feedback(a)activestate.com Please file bugs against ActivePython at: http://bugs.activestate.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=ActivePython Supported Platforms =================== ActivePython is available for the following platforms: - Windows (x86 and x64) - Mac OS X (x86 and x86_64; 10.5+) - Linux (x86 and x86_64) - Solaris/SPARC (32-bit and 64-bit) (Business, Enterprise or OEM edition only) - Solaris/x86 (32-bit) (Business, Enterprise or OEM edition only) - HP-UX/PA-RISC (32-bit) (Business, Enterprise or OEM edition only) - HP-UX/IA-64 (32-bit and 64-bit) (Enterprise or OEM edition only) - AIX/PowerPC (32-bit and 64-bit) (Business, Enterprise or OEM edition only) More information about the Business Edition can be found here: http://www.activestate.com/business-edition Custom builds are available in the Enterprise Edition: http://www.activestate.com/enterprise-edition Thanks, and enjoy!
