[RELEASE] Python 2.7.4 release candidate 1
by Benjamin Peterson March 25, 2013

March 25, 2013

I'm happy to announce the first release candidate of 2.7.4. 2.7.4 will be the latest maintenance release in the Python 2.7 series. It includes hundreds of bugfixes to the core language and standard library. There has recently been a lot of discussion about XML-based denial of service attacks. Specifically, certain XML files can cause XML parsers, including ones in the Python stdlib, to consume gigabytes of RAM and swamp the CPU. 2.7.4 does not include any changes in Python XML code to address these issues. Interested parties should examine the defusedxml package on PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/defusedxml 2.7.4 release candidate 1 is a testing release. Deploying it in production is not recommended. However, please download it and test with your libraries and applications, reporting any bugs you may find. Assuming no horrible bugs rear their heads, a final release of 2.7.4 will occur in 2 weeks. Downloads are at http://python.org/download/releases/2.7.4/ As always, please report bugs to http://bugs.python.org/ Enjoy, Benjamin Peterson 2.7 Release Manager

ANN: firehose-0.1 released
by David Malcolm March 19, 2013

March 19, 2013

"firehose" is a Python package intended for managing the results from code analysis tools (e.g. compiler warnings, static analysis, linters, etc). It currently provides parsers for the output of gcc, clang-analyzer and cppcheck. These parsers convert the results into a common data model of Python objects, with methods for lossless roundtrips through a provided XML format. There is also a JSON equivalent. It is available on pypi here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/firehose and via git from: https://github.com/fedora-static-analysis/firehose The mailing list is: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/firehose-devel Firehose is Free Software, licensed under the LGPLv2.1 or (at your option) any later version. It requires Python 2.7 or 3.2 onwards, and has been successfully tested with PyPy. This is the first tarball release of firehose and it's of alpha quality. The API and serialization formats are not yet set in stone (and we're keen on hearing feedback before we lock things down more). Thanks to Paul Tagliamonte for his help with this release. Enjoy! Dave

[ANN] six 1.3.0 released
by Benjamin Peterson March 18, 2013

March 18, 2013

I'm happy to announce the release of six 1.3.0. There's nothing particularly ground-breaking here; gradual improvement on a few fronts. Thanks to Marc Abramowitz for some pull requests. Six is a Python 2 and 3 compatibility library. It provides utility functions for smoothing over the differences between the Python versions with the goal of writing Python code that is compatible on both Python versions. See the documentation for more information on what is provided. Six supports Python 2.4+. Online documentation is at http://packages.python.org/six/. Bugs can be reported to http://bitbucket.org/gutworth/six. The code can also be found there. Here is the changelog for six 1.3.0: - Issue #21: Add methods to access the closure and globals of a function. - In six.iter(items/keys/values/lists), passed keyword arguments through to the underlying method. - Add six.iterlists(). - Issue #20: Fix tests if tkinter is not available. - Issue #17: Define callable to be builtin callable when it is available again in Python 3.2+. - Issue #16: Rename Python 2 exec_'s arguments, so casually calling exec_ with keyword arguments will raise. - Issue #14: Put the six.moves package in sys.modules based on the name six is imported under. - Fix Jython detection. - Pull request #4: Add email_mime_multipart, email_mime_text, and email_mime_base to six.moves. Have fun, Benjamin

ANN: moin-1.9.7 release
by Reimar Bauer March 17, 2013

March 17, 2013

This release is mostly about improving password security and password-related functionality. For details see: http://hg.moinmo.in/moin/1.9/raw-file/1.9.7/docs/CHANGES See http://moinmo.in/MoinMoinDownload for the release archive. BTW, for future moin 1.9 releases, we still need many more people helping with maintaining and updating translations on http://master.moinmo.in/ . So, especially if you speak some non-english language, you can help! See http://moinmo.in/MoinDev/Translation for details. These days we spent most of our time on developing moin2, see http://moinmo.in/MoinMoin2.0 for details. If you like to hack / test new stuff, have a look! Also feel invited to help with it, so it gets ready for production sooner. If you are interested in helping, feel free to contact us on IRC chat, see: http://moinmo.in/MoinMoinChat

ANN: PyCscope 1.2.1 Available on PyPI and GitHub
by Peter Portante March 16, 2013

March 16, 2013

Hello, Just release PyCscope 1.2.1 on PyPI (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycscope/1.2.1<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycscope/1.1>). The project is hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/portante/pycscope. Hope folks who like cscope find this useful for python code. We have fixed the handling of assignment statements to catch and mark more instances, and fixed the handling of "strings-as-symbols", where simple strings that have the proper lexical syntax of symbols are indexed as well (helps one find references to attributes). Comments, suggestions welcome. -peter ======== PyCscope ======== :Copyright: Copyright 2013 Peter Portante. See LICENSE for details. :Author: Peter Portante :Release: 1.2.1 :Date: 2013/03/16 Purpose ------- A python script to generate a cscope index from a Python source tree. `pycscope` uses Python's own parser and (C)oncrete (S)yntax (T)ree to generate the index, so it is a bit more accurate than plain cscope. Usage ----- :: pycscope.py [-D] [-R] [-S] [-V] [-f reffile] [-i srclistfile] [files ...] -D Dump the (C)oncrete (S)yntax (T)ree generated by the parser for each file -R Recurse directories for files -S Interpret simple strings as symbols -V Print version and exit -f reffile Use 'reffile' as cross-ref file name instead of 'cscope.out' -i srclistfile Use the contents of 'srclistfile' as the list of source files to scan License ------- Copyright 2013 Peter Portante This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of version 2 of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation.

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA Install ------- PyCscope uses Python's distutils package for installation. Use the following command to install this package:: % python setup.py install Features -------- PyCscope has the following features: - Supports both Python 2.7 and Python 3 - Command line interface - Output can be used by the `CscopeFinder` plugin for jEdit - Marks for all files ending in `.py` - Marks for all `class` definitions - Marks for all defined functions - Marks for function calls (algorithm is not perfect) - Marks for end-of-function (no search uses this mark yet) - Marks for imported modules (use the search for #include) - Marks for symbol assignment A *mark* is an indicator to the cscope utility that something of interest follows. History ------- pycscope 0.3a and later are written and copyright Peter Portante. pycscope 0.1 - 0.3 were originally written and copyright Dean Hall. Status ------ It works well enough to generate an index file that can be used by the `CscopeFinder` plugin for jEdit. Other editors are not tested.
