Makefile based python 2.7.x fork
by Antonio Cavallo 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

Hi, I'm releasing a 2.7.x python fork with a makefile based build: this removes the need for the autoconfigure/setup.py actual toolchain simplifying the whole build process. An additional advantage is the ability to cross compile (linux/macos and android) the python interpreter and most of the binary modules (still missing readline and ssl modules). Project is hosted at: https://bitbucket.org/cavallo71/android Long term goal is replacing the distutil module and making the python easily embeddable. Thanks Antonio

Be synthetic with PySynthetic (0.4.6 release)
by Younes JAAIDI 09 Mar '13

09 Mar '13

Hi, PySynthetic first public version has just been released! PySynthetic is a set of tools that aims to make writing Python classes shorter and "cleaner". For instance, one can add properties and accessors (getters/setters) to a class with only one line of code (using respectively "synthesize_property" and "synthesize_member" decorators), thus making the code more than 5 times shorter (see examples https://pysynthetic.readthedocs.org/en/latest/#examples). One can even avoid the laborious task of members initialization by using the "synthesize_constructor" decorator that takes care of writing the "__init__" method. PySynthetic is also useful for applying strict type checking with no pain just by using the decorators' "contract" argument (see PyContracts http://andreacensi.github.com/contracts/). Thank you for trying it! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * Documentation: http://pysynthetic.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ * Bug Tracker: https://github.com/yjaaidi/pysynthetic/issues * Code: https://github.com/yjaaidi/pysynthetic * Mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/pysynthetic < pysynthetic(a)googlegroups.com>

GeoBases: data services and visualization, version 5
by geobases.dev＠gmail.com 08 Mar '13

08 Mar '13

Hello! We just released the version 5 (rc) of GeoBases! For those who do not know GeoBases, this project provides tools to play with geographical data. It also works with non-geographical data, except for map visualizations :). There are embedded data sources in the project, but you can easily play with your own data in addition to the available ones. After data loading, you can: - perform various types of queries (find this key, or find keys with this property) - make fuzzy searches based on string distance (find things roughly named like this) - make phonetic searches (find things sounding like this) - make geographical searches (find things next to this place) - get results on a map, or on a graph, or export it as csv data, or as a Python object A few highlights of this new version (more details on https://github.com/opentraveldata/geobases/wiki/News): - join clauses (tutorial https://github.com/opentraveldata/geobases/wiki/Join-clauses-tutorial) - admin mode (tutorial https://github.com/opentraveldata/geobases/wiki/Admin-mode-tutorial) - learning mode - sub-indexes - phonetic search - graph display - better zsh autocomplete We tried to improve the documentation with: - a wiki containing quickstart and tutorials - a Twitter account to answer questions - the API documentation on readthedocs. Get the code from Github https://github.com/opentraveldata/geobases Useful links: Wiki : https://github.com/opentraveldata/geobases/wiki/_pages API doc : https://geobases.readthedocs.org Twitter : https://twitter.com/GeoBasesDev/ Site : http://opentraveldata.github.com/geobases/ If you like it, share it!

tox-1.4.3: quickstart command, "-l" option and fixes
by holger krekel 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

tox 1.4.3: the Python virtualenv-based testing automatizer ============================================================================= tox 1.4.3 fixes some bugs and introduces a new script and two new options: - "tox-quickstart" - run this script, answer a few questions, and get a tox.ini created for you (thanks Marc Abramowitz) - "tox -l" lists configured environment names (thanks Lukasz Balcerzak) - (experimental) "--installpkg=localpath" option which will skip the sdist-creation of a package and instead install the given localpath package. - use pip-script.py instead of pip.exe on win32 to avoid windows locking the .exe Note that the sister project "detox" should continue to work - it's a separately released project which drives tox test runs on multiple CPUs in parallel. More documentation: http://tox.testrun.org/ Installation: pip install -U tox repository hosting and issue tracking on bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/tox What is tox? ---------------- tox standardizes and automates tedious python driven test activities driven from a simple ``tox.ini`` file, including: * creation and management of different virtualenv environments with different Python interpreters * packaging and installing your package into each of them * running your test tool of choice, be it nose, py.test or unittest2 or other tools such as "sphinx" doc checks * testing dev packages against each other without needing to upload to PyPI best, Holger Krekel CHANGELOG ================ 1.4.3 (compared to 1.4.2) -------------------------------- - introduce -l|--listenv option to list configured environments (thanks Lukasz Balcerzak) - fix downloadcache determination to work according to docs: Only make pip use a download cache if PIP_DOWNLOAD_CACHE or a downloadcache=PATH testenv setting is present. (The ENV setting takes precedence) - fix issue84 - pypy on windows creates a bin not a scripts venv directory (thanks Lukasz Balcerzak) - experimentally introduce --installpkg=PATH option to install a package rather than create/install an sdist package. This will still require and use tox.ini and tests from the current working dir (and not from the remote package). - substitute {envsitepackagesdir} with the package installation directory (closes #72) (thanks g2p) - issue #70 remove PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE workaround now that virtualenv behaves properly (thanks g2p) - merged tox-quickstart command, contributed by Marc Abramowitz, which generates a default tox.ini after asking a few questions - fix #48 - win32 detection of pypy and other interpreters that are on PATH (thanks Gustavo Picon) - fix grouping of index servers, it is now done by name instead of indexserver url, allowing to use it to separate dependencies into groups even if using the same default indexserver. - look for "tox.ini" files in parent dirs of current dir (closes #34) - the "py" environment now by default uses the current interpreter (sys.executable) make tox' own setup.py test execute tests with it (closes #46) - change tests to not rely on os.path.expanduser (closes #60), also make mock session return args[1:] for more precise checking (closes #61) thanks to Barry Warszaw for both.
