[ANN] ftputil 2.7 released
by Stefan Schwarzer July 8, 2012

July 8, 2012

ftputil 2.7 is now available from http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/download . Changes since version 2.6 ------------------------- - ftputil now explicitly tries to get hidden directory and file names (names starting with a dot) from the FTP server. [1] Before, ftputil used a `LIST` command to get directory listings, now it uses `LIST -a` if the server doesn't explicitly reject its usage upon login. Note that the server is free to ignore the `-a` option, so "hidden" directories and files may still not be visible. Please see [2] for details. If you have code that _relies_ on "hidden" directory or file names _not_ being visible, please update the code as necessary. If that's presumably not possible, please send feedback to the mailing list [3] or in private mail [4]. - A bug in the experimental synchronization code was fixed [5]. Thanks to Zhuo Qiang for his help. :-) What is ftputil? ---------------- ftputil is a high-level FTP client library for the Python programming language. ftputil implements a virtual file system for accessing FTP servers, that is, it can generate file-like objects for remote files. The library supports many functions similar to those in the os, os.path and shutil modules. ftputil has convenience functions for conditional uploads and downloads, and handles FTP clients and servers in different timezones. Read the documentation at http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/documentation . License ------- ftputil is Open Source software, released under the revised BSD license (see http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php ).

by dmitrey July 7, 2012

July 7, 2012

hi all, you may be interested in stochastic programming and optimization with free Python module FuncDesigner ( http://openopt.org/FuncDesigner ). We have wrote Stochastic addon for FuncDesigner ( http://openopt.org/StochasticProgramming ), but (at least for several years) it will be commercional (currently it's free for some small-scaled problems only and for noncommercial research / educational purposes only). However, we will try to keep our prices several times less than our competitors have. Also, we will provide some discounts, including region-based ones, and first 15 customers will also got a discount. For further information, documentation and some examples etc read more at http://openopt.org/StochasticProgramming ---------------------------- Regards, D. http://openopt.org/Dmitrey

cx_Oracle 5.1.2
by Anthony Tuininga July 7, 2012

July 7, 2012

What is cx_Oracle? cx_Oracle is a Python extension module that allows access to Oracle and conforms to the Python database API 2.0 specifications with a few exceptions. Where do I get it? http://cx-oracle.sourceforge.net What's new? 1) Added support for LONG_UNICODE which is a type used to handle long unicode strings. These are not explicitly supported in Oracle but can be used to bind to NCLOB, for example, without getting the error "unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested". 2) Set the row number in a cursor when executing PL/SQL blocks as requested by Robert Ritchie. 3) Added support for setting the module, action and client_info attributes during connection so that logon triggers will see the supplied values, as requested by Rodney Barnett. In addition, binaries are now being built for Python 3.3.

[RELEASE] sanction 0.1.2 - dead easy OAuth2 client
by Demian Brecht July 6, 2012

July 6, 2012

sanction is a lightweight, dead simple client implementation of the OAuth2 protocol. The major goals of the library are: Support multiple providers -------------------------- Most providers have varying levels of diversion from the official spec. The goal with this library is to either handle these diversions natively, or expose a method to allow client code to deal with it efficiently and effectively. Support all server-side OAuth2 flows ------------------------------------ Three of the four OAuth2 flows should be supported by this library. Currently, only authorization code and client credential flows have been tested due to lack of other (known) implementations. sanction has been tested (lightly) with the following OAuth2 providers and provides sample code for each: Facebook (include the test API) Google Foursquare bitly GitHub StackExchange Instagram https://github.com/demianbrecht/sanction

Le 2 juil. 2012 à 21:39PM, Frank Niessink <frank(a)niessink.com> a écrit : > Hi, > > We're happy to announce release 1.3.17 of Task Coach. This is a bugfix > release. Users of the Launchpad PPA, please note that the 1.3.17 version of the PPAs is slightly different from the actual release (technical burden; there was a failed release yesterday and Launchpad does not allow overwriting a PPA of a given version). It does not include the calendar-related bug fixes. Cheers Jérôme

ANN: eGenix PyRun - One file Python Runtime 1.0.0
by eGenix Team: M.-A. Lemburg July 2, 2012

July 2, 2012

________________________________________________________________________ ANNOUNCING eGenix PyRun - One file Python Runtime Version 1.0.0 An easy-to-use single file relocatable Python run-time - available for Windows, Mac OS X and Unix platforms This announcement is also available on our web-site for online reading: http://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-PyRun-1.0.0.html ________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Our new eGenix PyRun combines a Python interpreter with an almost complete Python standard library into a single easy-to-use executable, that does not require a system wide installation and is fully relocatable. eGenix PyRun's executable only needs 12MB, but still supports most Python application and scripts - and it can be further compressed to 3-4MB using gzexe or upx. Compared to a regular Python installation of typically 100MB on disk, this makes eGenix PyRun ideal for applications and scripts that need to be distributed to many target machines, client installations or customers. It makes "installing" Python on a Unix based system as simple as copying a single file. http://www.egenix.com/products/python/PyRun/ ________________________________________________________________________ NEWS This is the first public release of eGenix PyRun. We have been using the product internally in our mxODBC Connect Server since 2008 with great success and have now extracted it into a stand-alone open-source product. We provide both the source archive to build your own eGenix PyRun, as well as provide pre-compiled binaries for Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X, for the resp. 32- and 64-bit platforms. Presentation at EuroPython 2012 ------------------------------- Marc-André, CEO of eGenix, will be giving a presentation about eGenix PyRun at EuroPython 2012 in Florence, Italy on Wednesday, July 4th in the Room Tagliatelle. He will also be available during the conference to answer questions. ________________________________________________________________________ DOWNLOADS The download archives and instructions for installing the product can be found at: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/PyRun/ _______________________________________________________________________ SUPPORT Commercial support for these packages is available from eGenix.com. Please see http://www.egenix.com/services/support/ for details about our support offerings. ________________________________________________________________________ MORE INFORMATION For more information about eGenix PyRun, licensing and download instructions, please visit our web-site or write to sales(a)egenix.com.
