March 31, 2012

== An update to pygments.appspot.com http://pygments.appspot.com is an unofficial API for the Pygments syntax highlighting library, which now runs version 1.5. It's designed to provide syntax highlighting for web applications that don't have Python installed. == Usage POST to http://pygments.appspot.com with "lang" and "code" parameters in the body. You'll receive pygmentized HTML back, which you can store for later display on your site. You can style the pygmentized HTML using CSS like this:… [View More] http://github.com/trevorturk/pygments/blob/master/default.css == Ruby Example $ irb require 'net/http' require 'uri' lang = 'python' code = 'print "Hello World"' request = Net::HTTP.post_form(URI.parse('http:// pygments.appspot.com/'), {'lang'=>lang, 'code'=>code}) puts request.body == Compatibility If your client has issues running an updated version of Pygments, archived releases have been uploaded for your convenience. Simply point the subdomain to the target version of Pygments, like so: http://1-2.pygments.appspot.com/ is configured to run Pygments version 1.2. The following versions are currently supported: 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 == More Information This site was created so that http://flowcoder.com could run on http://heroku.com, but please feel free to use it yourself. If you like, you can fork the code on github and create your own Google App Engine site, though. Visit http://pygments.org/ for more information about Pygments. Visit http://github.com/richleland/pygments-css for more example CSS files for use with Pygments. Visit http://github.com/trevorturk/pygments for more information about this site, and to see the source code.

ANN: A new version (0.2.9) of the Python module which wraps GnuPG has been released.
by Vinay Sajip March 29, 2012

March 29, 2012

A new version of the Python module which wraps GnuPG has been released. What Changed? ============= This is a minor bug-fix release. See the project website ( http://code.google.com/p/python-gnupg/ ) for more information. Summary: Better support for status messages from GnuPG. A random data file used in testing is no longer shipped with the source distribution, but created by the test suite if needed. The current version passes all tests on Windows (CPython 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 3.1, 2.7 and Jython … [View More]2.5.1) and Ubuntu (CPython 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2). On Windows, GnuPG 1.4.11 has been used for the tests. What Does It Do? ================ The gnupg module allows Python programs to make use of the functionality provided by the Gnu Privacy Guard (abbreviated GPG or GnuPG). Using this module, Python programs can encrypt and decrypt data, digitally sign documents and verify digital signatures, manage (generate, list and delete) encryption keys, using proven Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) encryption technology based on OpenPGP. This module is expected to be used with Python versions >= 2.4, as it makes use of the subprocess module which appeared in that version of Python. This module is a newer version derived from earlier work by Andrew Kuchling, Richard Jones and Steve Traugott. A test suite using unittest is included with the source distribution. Simple usage: >>> import gnupg >>> gpg = gnupg.GPG(gnupghome='/path/to/keyring/directory') >>> gpg.list_keys() [{ ... 'fingerprint': 'F819EE7705497D73E3CCEE65197D5DAC68F1AAB2', 'keyid': '197D5DAC68F1AAB2', 'length': '1024', 'type': 'pub', 'uids': ['', 'Gary Gross (A test user) <gary.gr...(a)gamma.com>']}, { ... 'fingerprint': '37F24DD4B918CC264D4F31D60C5FEFA7A921FC4A', 'keyid': '0C5FEFA7A921FC4A', 'length': '1024', ... 'uids': ['', 'Danny Davis (A test user) <danny.da...(a)delta.com>']}] >>> encrypted = gpg.encrypt("Hello, world!", ['0C5FEFA7A921FC4A']) >>> str(encrypted) '-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----\nVersion: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux)\n \nhQIOA/6NHMDTXUwcEAf ... -----END PGP MESSAGE-----\n' >>> decrypted = gpg.decrypt(str(encrypted), passphrase='secret') >>> str(decrypted) 'Hello, world!' >>> signed = gpg.sign("Goodbye, world!", passphrase='secret') >>> verified = gpg.verify(str(signed)) >>> print "Verified" if verified else "Not verified" 'Verified' For more information, visit http://code.google.com/p/python-gnupg/ - as always, your feedback is most welcome (especially bug reports, patches and suggestions for improvement). Enjoy! Cheers Vinay Sajip Red Dove Consultants Ltd. [View Less]

Vulture 0.3 released
by Jendrik Seipp March 22, 2012

March 22, 2012

vulture - Find dead code ======================== vulture finds unused classes, functions and variables in Python code. This helps you cleanup and find errors in your programs. If you run it on both your library and test suite you can find untested code. Due to Python's dynamic nature it is impossible to find all dead code for a static code analyzer like vulture, because it ignores scopes and scans only token names. Additionally some dynamic items that are not explicitly mentioned in the … [View More]
