Hello All, We're pleased to announce that the PyCon UK 2012 conference is open for bookings at http://pyconuk.org. The Early Bird rate is available until 12 August, and there is a Concession rate available for Students, Nurses, and Unwaged right up to the conference date. PyCon UK runs from 28th September to 1st October, with the core conference being 29th-30th September, and the venue is, as last year, the Coventry TechnoCentre, easily reached from any part of the country. This year we're running sprints as an integral part of the conference, instead of being tacked on afterwards. Each sprint will have an Introductory talk on Friday 28th, then have sessions throughout the weekend, which you will be able to drop in to between any talks you can'r miss. For the sprint diehards, sessions will continue into Monday to wrap up any loose ends. Hoping to see you there! The PyCon UK team.

[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 ). [1] http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/trac/ticket/23 [2] http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/trac/ticket/23#comment:4 [3] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/ftputil (note that you need to subscribe to the list to be able to post there) [4] sschwarzer(a)sschwarzer.net [5] http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/trac/ticket/62 Stefan

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
