07 Mar '11

Today I have released PyNSource 1.5 with numerous fixes and improvements. http://www.andypatterns.com/index.php/products/pynsource/ PyNSource and PyNSource GUI - Reverse engineer python source code into UML - display UML as Ascii art or in a proper diagramming visual workspace. You can also generate java and delphi skeleton code from the python, for the purpose of importing that into other UML tools. Version 1.5 - Python 2.6 (and probably 2.7) compatibility - Runs with latest wxpython - Menus reworked, help added, command to visit website added. - Print preview now much smarter about showing your entire uml workspace - pynsource.exe added to standalone distribution - Readme and doco vastly improved - Website cleaned up - All downloads from sourceforge, better packaging Can anyone out there help me make a linux distro for this?

by Richard Jones 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

The 12th Python Game Programming Challenge (PyWeek) is almost upon us. It'll run from the 3rd to the 10th of April. Registration for teams and individuals is now open on the website: http://pyweek.org/ The PyWeek challenge: - Invites entrants to write a game in one week from scratch either as an individual or in a team, - Is intended to be challenging and fun, - Will hopefully increase the public body of game tools, code and expertise, - Will let a lot of people actually finish a game, and - May inspire new projects (with ready made teams!) If you've never written a game before and would like to try things out then perhaps you could try either: The tutorial I presented at LCA 2010, Introduction to Game Programming: http://www.lca2010.org.nz/wiki/Tutorials/Introduction_to_game_programming The book Invent Your Own Computer Games With Python: http://inventwithpython.com/ Richard Jones http://pyweek.org

Announcing Pushy 0.4
by axwalk 05 Mar '11

05 Mar '11

Greetings, I am pleased to announce the release of Pushy 0.4. This is a stable release, focusing on bug fixes and improving code quality in general. Cheers, Andrew Wilkins. What is Pushy? ========================================== Pushy is a Python package for connecting Python interpreters, providing each one access to objects in the other. Pushy provides the novel ability to spawn and connect to Python interpreters not only on the local host, but also on remote hosts via SSH, requiring nothing but Python and a running SSH daemon on the remote host. Pushy also provides a simple Java API, which Java applications can use to spawn and connect to Python processes and access objects within them. Python support is currently limited to Python 2.4+, and not the 3.x series. The Pushy Java API supports Java 1.4+. License ========================================== Pushy is released exclusively under the MIT License. Resources ========================================== - Source Repository and Issue Tracker: http://launchpad.net/pushy - PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pushy/0.4 - Homepage: http://awilkins.id.au/pushy - Blog: http://blog.awilkins.id.au

PySide: Python for Qt 1.0 released!
by Renato Araujo Oliveira Filho 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

Hi all, For those of you interested in writing Qt and QML software on Python: The PySide project has released PySide: Python for Qt version 1.0.0 after a long stabilization period. In addition to the source code release, project community packagers have already released binary packages for all major Linux distributions, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Nokia’s Maemo 5 platform. With this release, the team regards PySide to be production quality and they will restart feature development in parallel to the continued bugfixing effort. PySide is a Nokia-sponsored Python Qt bindings project, providing bindings to not only the complete Qt 4.7 framework (including Qt Quick/QML) but also Qt Mobility, as well as to generator tools for rapidly generating new bindings for any C++ libraries. Due to the LGPL-licensing of the bindings, PySide can be used both for Free/Open-source and commercial software development. The PySide project is developed in the open, with all facilities one would expect from any modern OSS project such as all code in a git repository, an open Bugzilla for reporting bugs, and an open design process. PySide welcomes any contribution without requiring a transfer of copyright. See the PySide website for download links and more information: http://www.pyside.org PySide Team
