gcc-python-plugin is a plugin for GCC 4.6 onwards which embeds the
CPython interpreter within GCC, allowing you to write new compiler
warnings in Python, generate code visualizations, etc.
It ships with "gcc-with-cpychecker", which implements static analysis
passes for GCC aimed at finding bugs in CPython extensions. In
particular, it can automatically detect reference-counting errors:
http://gcc-python-plugin.readthedocs.org/en/latest/cpychecker.html
Detailed release notes can be seen at:
http://gcc-python-plugin.readthedocs.org/en/latest/0.8.html
Some highlights of the 0.8 release:
* it's much easier than before to emit compilation warnings
* initial support for analyzing C++ code from a Python script
* gcc-with-cpychecker has gained additional tests. It now has
knowledge of which CPython API calls will crash when passed NULL, and
will warn you (with details) about code paths that can trigger such a
call. It can also now detect certain subtle errors in PyMethodDef
tables.
* numerous bug fixes and other improvements

'tsshbatch' Version 1.134 is now released and available for download at:
http://www.tundraware.com/Software/tsshbatch
This is the first public release.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
What Is 'tsshbatch'?
------------------
'tsshbatch' is a tool to enable you to issue a command to many
servers without having to log into each one separately. When writing
scripts, this overcomes the 'ssh' limitation of not being able to
specify the password on the command line.
'tsshbatch' also understands basic 'sudo' syntax and can be used
to access a server, 'sudo' a command, and then exit.
'tsshbatch' thus allows you to write complex, hands-off scripts that
issue commands to many servers without the tedium of manual login and
'sudo' promotion. System administrators, especially, will find this
helpful when working in large server farms.
'tsshbatch' is written in Python and requires the 'paramiko library.
It has been tested on various Linux and FreeBSD variants as well
as cygwin on MS-Windows.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Complete details of all fixes, changes, and new features can be found in
the WHATSNEW.txt and documentation files included in the distribution.
A FreeBSD port has been submitted as well.
