Plumbum v1.4 released
by Tomer Filiba Nov. 9, 2013

Nov. 9, 2013

Ever wished the compactness of shell scripts be put into a real programming language? Say hello to Plumbum Shell Combinators. Plumbum (Latin for lead, which was used to create pipes back in the day) is a small yet feature-rich library for shell script-like programs in Python. The motto of the library is “Never write shell scripts again”, and thus it attempts to mimic the shell syntax (shell combinators) where it makes sense, while keeping it all Pythonic and cross-platform. Apart from shell-like syntax and handy shortcuts, the library provides local and remote command execution (over SSH), local and remote file-system paths, easy working-directory and environment manipulation, and a programmatic Command-Line Interface (CLI) application toolkit. http://plumbum.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ Compatibility issue: `plumbum.utils` became `plumbum.path.utils`

PyDev 3.0 Released
by Fabio Zadrozny Nov. 7, 2013

Nov. 7, 2013

Hi All, PyDev 3.0 has been released Details on PyDev: http://pydev.org Details on its development: http://pydev.blogspot.com LiClipse (PyDev standalone with goodies such as support for Django Templates, Mako Templates, Html, Javascript, etc): http://brainwy.github.io/liclipse/ Release Highlights: ------------------------------- * From now on, PyDev requires Eclipse 3.7 or 4.3 onwards and Java 7! For older versions, keep using PyDev 2.x. * Interpreter is now kept up to date with changes to the interpreter, so, pip-installing packages will automatically update internal caches without requiring a manual step. * Fixed issue connecting to shell for code-completion (which could halt the IDE). * Interactive Console (patches by Jonah Graham) * IPython 1.0 is now supported. * Computational Crystallography Toolbox (CCTBX: http://cctbx.sourceforge.net/) can now be used with PyDev. * Debug support in interactive console (must be enabled in preferences). * User Module Deleter (UMD): forcefully reloads user-loaded modules when using runfile on interactive console (must be enabled in preferences). * GUI event loop integration: more backends are now supported and can be configured in the preferences. * %gui provides customization for the gui event loop integration (i.e.: %gui wx enables wxPython integration). * %edit on IPython will open the file in the PyDev editor. * History of commands is now saved to a persistent file. * Loading of history is faster. * Interpreter configuration (patches by Andrew Ferrazzutti) * Interpreter configuration quick auto-config: automatically finds a Python installed and configures it. * Interpreter configuration advanced auto-config: searches for multiple Python installations in the computer and allows selecting one to configure. * Source folders (PYTHONPATH) are kept updated on renames and moves in the PyDev package explorer. * Grammar 3.x accepts u'str'. * Fixed project configuration ${PROJECT_DIR_NAME} variable to point to dir name inside Eclipse and not the folder name in filesystem (this could make PyDev miss folders in the project PYTHONPATH). * Debugger: * Breakpoints working on files with unicode chars. * patches by Jonah Graham: * Variables can be pretty-printed with right-click > pretty print. * Improved handling for numpy.ndarrays. * And as usual, many other bugfixes! What is PyDev? --------------------------- PyDev is a plugin that enables users to use Eclipse for Python, Jython and IronPython development -- making Eclipse a first class Python IDE -- It comes with many goodies such as code completion, syntax highlighting, syntax analysis, refactor, debug and many others. Cheers, -- Fabio Zadrozny ------------------------------------------------------ Software Developer LiClipse http://brainwy.github.io/liclipse PyDev - Python Development Environment for Eclipse http://pydev.org http://pydev.blogspot.com

StoryText 3.10 - GUI testing tool
by Geoff Bache Nov. 4, 2013

Nov. 4, 2013

Hi all, The 3.10 release features the following: - Many enhancements for SWT/Eclipse and wxPython. - Some general new features also, mostly in the editor. Regards, Geoff Bache A bit more detail: StoryText is an unconventional GUI testing tool for PyGTK, Tkinter, wxPython, Swing and SWT along with a Python framework for testing GUIs in general. Instead of recording GUI mechanics directly, it asks the user for descriptive names and hence builds up a "domain language" along with a "UI map file" that translates this language into actions on the current GUI widgets. The point is to reduce coupling, allow very expressive tests, and ensure that GUI changes mean changing the UI map file but not all the tests. Instead of an "assertion" mechanism, it auto-generates a log of the GUI appearance and changes to it. The point is then to use that as a baseline for text-based testing, using TextTest. It also includes support for instrumenting code so that "waits" can be recorded, making it far easier for a tester to record correctly synchronized tests without having to explicitly plan for this.
