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.

RPyC (Remote Python Call) is a python library for transparent, symmetrical remote procedure calls, clustering and distributed-computing. RPyC makes use of object-proxying, a technique that employs python’s dynamic nature, to overcome the physical boundaries between processes and computers, so that remote objects can be manipulated as if they were local.

Subject: ANN: Intro+Intermediate Python course, SF, Oct 18-20
Need to get up-to-speed with Python as quickly and as in-depth as
possible? Already coding Python but still have areas of uncertainty
you need to fill? Then come join me, Wesley Chun, author of
Prentice-Hall's bestseller "Core Python" for a comprehensive
intro/intermediate course coming up this May in Northern California,
then enjoy a beautiful Fall weekend afterwards in San Francisco, the
beautiful city by the bay.
Please pass on this note to whomever you think may be interested. I
look forward to meeting you and your colleagues! Feel free to pass
around the PDF flyer linked down below. Write if you have questions.
Since I hate spam, I'll only send out one reminder as the date gets
closer.

(COMPREHENSIVE) INTRO+INTERMEDIATE PYTHON
Although this course may appear to those new to Python, it is also
perfect for those who have tinkered with it and want to "fill in the
gaps" and/or want to get more in-depth formal training. It combines
the best of both an introduction to the language as well as a "Python
Internals" training course.
We will immerse you in the world of Python in only a few days, showing
you more than just its syntax (which you don't really need a book to
learn, right?). Knowing more about how Python works under the covers,
including the relationship between data objects and memory management,
will make you a much more effective Python programmer coming out of
the gate. 3 hands-on labs each day will help hammer the concepts home.
Come find out why Google, Yahoo!, Disney, ILM/LucasFilm, VMware,
NASA, Ubuntu, YouTube, and Red Hat all use Python. Users supporting or
jumping to Plone, Zope, TurboGears, Pylons, Django, Google App Engine,
Jython, IronPython, and Mailman will also benefit!
PREVIEW 1: you will find (and can download) a video clip of a
class session recorded live to get an idea of my lecture style and
the interactive classroom environment (as well as sign-up) at:
http://cyberwebconsulting.com
PREVIEW 2: Partnering with O'Reilly and Pearson, Safari Books
Online has asked me to deliver a 1-hour webcast a couple of years ago
called "What is Python?". This was an online seminar based on a
session that I've delivered at numerous conferences in the past. It
will give you an idea of lecture style as well as an overview of the
material
covered in the course.

===========================
Announcing PyTables 2.3
===========================
We are happy to announce PyTables 2.3.
This release comes after about 10 months of development and after that
Francesc Altet, the creator of PyTables, ceased activities with the project.
Thank you Francesc.
Also the project has been moved to GitHub:
http://github.com/PyTables/PyTables.
What's new
==========
The main new features in 2.3 series are:
* PyTables now includes the codebase of PyTables Pro (now release under open
source license) gaining a lot of performance improvements and some new
features like:
- the new and powerful indexing engine: OPSI
- a fine-tuned LRU cache for both metadata (nodes) and regular data
* The entire documentation set has been converted to ReStructuredTest and
Sphinx
As always, a large amount of bugs have been addressed and squashed too.
In case you want to know more in detail what has changed in this
version, have a look at:
http://pytables.github.com/release_notes.html
You can download a source package with generated PDF and HTML docs, as
well as binaries for Windows, from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pytables/files/pytables/2.3
For an on-line version of the manual, visit:
http://pytables.github.com/usersguide/index.html
What it is?
===========
PyTables is a library for managing hierarchical datasets and
designed to efficiently cope with extremely large amounts of data with
support for full 64-bit file addressing. PyTables runs on top of
the HDF5 library and NumPy package for achieving maximum throughput and
convenient use. PyTables includes OPSI, a new indexing technology,
allowing to perform data lookups in tables exceeding 10 gigarows
(10**10 rows) in less than 1 tenth of a second.
Resources
=========

About NumPy:

Acknowledgments
===============
Thanks to many users who provided feature improvements, patches, bug
reports, support and suggestions. See the ``THANKS`` file in the
distribution package for a (incomplete) list of contributors. Most
specially, a lot of kudos go to the HDF5 and NumPy (and numarray!)
makers. Without them, PyTables simply would not exist.
Share your experience
=====================
Let us know of any bugs, suggestions, gripes, kudos, etc. you may
have.

**Enjoy data!**

The PyTables Team
pytest-2.1.2 is a minor backward compatible maintenance release of the
popular py.test testing tool. pytest is commonly used for unit,
functional- and integration testing. See extensive docs with examples
here:
http://pytest.org/
Most bug fixes address remaining issues with the perfected assertions
introduced in the 2.1 series - many thanks to the bug reporters and to Benjamin
Peterson for helping to fix them. pytest should also work better with
Jython-2.5.1 (and Jython trunk, but not Jython-2.5.2).
If you want to install or upgrade pytest, just type one of::
pip install -U pytest # or
easy_install -U pytest
best,
holger krekel / http://merlinux.eu
Changes between 2.1.1 and 2.1.2
----------------------------------------
- fix assertion rewriting on files with windows newlines on some Python versions
- refine test discovery by package/module name (--pyargs), thanks Florian Mayer
- fix issue69 / assertion rewriting fixed on some boolean operations
- fix issue68 / packages now work with assertion rewriting
- fix issue66: use different assertion rewriting caches when the -O option is passed
- don't try assertion rewriting on Jython, use reinterp
I'm pleased to announce a new release of Mailinglogger.
Mailinglogger provides two handlers for the standard python
logging framework that enable log entries to be emailed either as the
entries are logged or as a summary at the end of the running process.
The handlers have the following features:
- customisable and dynamic subject lines for emails sent
- emails sent with a configurable headers for easy filtering
- flood protection to ensure the number of emails sent is not excessive
- support for SMTP servers that require authentication
- fully documented and tested
The only change for this release was to add an X-Log-Level header to
emails sent. For MailingLogger, this is the level of the log message
being emailed. For SummarisingLogger this is the highest level of any of
the messages handled.
Full docs can be found here:
http://packages.python.org/mailinglogger/
For more information, please see:

cheers,
Chris
