pg8000 1.09 maintenance version (fork) released
by Mariano Reingart 04 Jan '12

04 Jan '12

pg8000 is a DB-API 2.0 compatible Pure-Python interface to the PostgreSQL database engine. It is one of many PostgreSQL interfaces for the Python programming language. pg8000 is somewhat distinctive in that it is written entirely in Python and does not rely on any external libraries (such as a compiled python module, or PostgreSQL’s libpq library). This pure-python connector approach allows to run it where C compiled libraries cannot be installed, it allows deeper access to PostgreSQL protocol internals and it enables easier flexibility and extensibility for Python developers (like support for parameterized prepared statements using qmark, numeric, named, format or pyformat DBAPI paramstyle). The highlights of this 1.09 maintenance release are: two-phase commit support, autocommit feature, server_version property and bug fixes for almost all reported issues since 1.08 (2010-06-08) For details of the changes in this release, please see the notes at: http://html.pg8000.googlecode.com/hg/changelog.html pg8000 maintenance version may be downloaded from: http://code.google.com/p/pg8000/downloads/list For more information see: http://code.google.com/p/pg8000/ For the original version see: https://github.com/mfenniak/pg8000 Acknowledgements to Mathieu Fenniak for the original version and thanks to the contributors that reported and/or sent patches applied for this release.

ANNOUNCE: wxPython (classic) 2.9.3.1
by Robin Dunn 01 Jan '12

01 Jan '12

Announcing ---------- wxPython 2.9.3.1 (classic) has been released and is now available for download at http://wxpython.org/download.php. This build fixes some problems with the installers and documentation for 2.9.3.0 and a few other bugs that were discovered in that release. More details are below. Various binaries are available for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, and also for OSX using the Carbon and Cocoa APIs, for Python 2.6 and 2.7. Source code is also available at http://wxpython.org/download.php of course, for building your own. What is wxPython? ----------------- wxPython is a GUI toolkit for the Python programming language. It allows Python programmers to create programs with a robust, highly functional graphical user interface, simply and easily. It is implemented as a set of Python extension modules that wrap the GUI components of the popular wxWidgets cross platform library, which is written in C++. wxPython is a cross-platform toolkit. This means that the same program will usually run on multiple platforms without modifications. Currently supported platforms are 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows, most Linux or other Unix-like systems using GTK2, and Mac OS X 10.4+. In most cases the native widgets are used on each platform to provide a 100% native look and feel for the application. Changes in 2.9.3.1 ------------------- Corrected some problems in the installer scripts that were not including some new files. Re-enabled the wrappers for the wx.GenericDatePickerCtrl class. Applied some patches from Werner Bruhin for the sized controls classes and demo, and which also adds the SizedScrolledPanel class. Fixed several other minor bugs discovered in the last release. -- Robin Dunn Software Craftsman http://wxPython.org
