TextTest 3.26 - blackbox testing tool
by Geoff Bache Nov. 4, 2013

Nov. 4, 2013

Dear all, There are many enhancements and bug fixes, notably - Performance improvements for large test suites, particularly Saving - Config tab has file management context menu now similar to Test tab - Jenkins integration more reliable and informative - Various knownbugs enhancements Regards, Geoff Bache .... TextTest is a tool for automatic text-based functional testing. This means running a batch-mode executable in lots of different ways from the command line, and using the text output produced as a means of controlling the behavior of that application. As well as being usable "standalone", it is an extendable framework for black-box testing written in Python. It's also useful as a test management tool wrapping some other test tool as a test runner.

ANN: rom 0.22 - Redis object mapper for Python
by Josiah Carlson Nov. 3, 2013

Nov. 3, 2013

Hey everyone, As time progresses, so does my Redis object mapper. The "rom" package is a Redis object mapper for Python. It sports an interface similar to Django's ORM, SQLAlchemy + Elixir, or Appengine's datastore. The changelog for recent releases can be seen below my signature. You can find the package at: https://www.github.com/josiahcarlson/rom https://pypi.python.org/pypi/rom And docs can be found at: http://pythonhosted.org/rom/ Please CC me on any replies if you have any questions or comments. Thank you, - Josiah #----------------------------------- 0.22 ------------------------------------ [fixed] size estimation for intersection ordering when filtering has now been fixed, thank you to https://github.com/MickeyKim for the report and the change (should improve performance). [fixed] an issue with some types when trying to update attributes has now been fixed, thank you to https://github.com/denisvolokh for the report. [changed] improved performance for simple numeric range queries of the form Model.get_by(attr=value) or Model.get_by(attr=(min, max)) by roughly a factor of 60x or better in some cases. Thank you to https://github.com/MickeyKim for the report on poor performance. #----------------------------------- 0.21 ------------------------------------ [fixed] upload for rom 0.20 was missing new columns.py, now fixed #----------------------------------- 0.20 ------------------------------------ [changed] Added exception when performing .all(), .execute(), or .count() on query objects that have had no filters or attribute ordering provided. This addresses issue #12. [changed] Moved column definitions to their own module, shouldn't affect any normal uses of rom. [added] For users of Redis 2.6 and later, there is a beta Lua-enabled writing option that allows for multiple unique columns on models. In some cases, this may improve performance when writing many entities very quickly. [added] The ability to reload an entity from Redis, optionally discarding any modifications to the object itself. Check out the documentation for Model.refresh(), Session.refresh(), and Session.refresh_all() [added] Tests for the newly changed/added features. [changed] Tests no longer use flushdb() - all test models/indexes/etc. are prefixed with RomTest, and we find/delete such keys before and after any tests are run. Now anyone can reasonably run the test suite. #----------------------------------- 0.19 ------------------------------------ [fixed] Thanks to a bug report by https://github.com/MickeyKim , was notified of a bug when using unique indexes, which is now fixed and has a testcase.

[ANN] ftputil 3.0b released
by Stefan Schwarzer Nov. 3, 2013

Nov. 3, 2013

ftputil 3.0b is now available from http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/download . Changes since version 2.8 ------------------------- Note: This version of ftputil is _not_ backward-compatible with earlier versions.See the links below for information on adapting existing client code. - This version adds Python 3 compatibility! :-) The same source is used for Python 2.x and Python 3.x. I had to change the API to find a good compromise for both Python versions. - ftputil now requires at least Python 2.6. - Remote file-like objects use the same semantics as Python's `io` module. (This is the same as for the built-in `open` function in Python 3.) - `ftputil.ftp_error` was renamed to `ftputil.error`. - For custom parsers, import `ftputil.parser` instead of `ftputil.stat`. For more information please read http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/trac/wiki/WhatsNewInFtputil3.0 http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/trac/wiki/PreReleaseDocumentation 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. License ------- ftputil is Open Source software, released under the revised BSD license (see http://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause ). Stefan
