Continuous Deployment Style Build System for Python
by James Carpenter 17 May '13

17 May '13

Defend Against Fruit is focused on providing a pragmatic, continuous deployment style build system for Python. Current Python build systems do not properly account for the needs of effective continuous deployment. This package extends the Python tooling to add the missing pieces, including integration with Artifactory. With an eye to agile development principles and fast-feedback, we want a build system which satisfies the following goals: * Every SCM change-set committed should result in a potentially shippable release candidate. * When a defect is introduced, we want to immediately detect and isolate the offending SCM change-set. This is true even if the defect was introduced into a library we depend upon. * Library management should be so easy as to never impede code changes, even in multi-component architecture.

MacroPy Final Report, Request for Feedback
by Haoyi Li 16 May '13

16 May '13

Hey All, I'd like to announce the release of MacroPy 0.1.7 (https://github.com/lihaoyi/macropy). MacroPy is an implementation of Syntactic Macros in the Python Programming Language, which we used to implement a pretty impressive list of demo macros: - Case Classes, easy Algebraic Data Types from Scala - Pattern Matching from the Functional Programming world - Tail-call Optimization - String Interpolation, a common feature, and Pyxl, which is basically XML interpolation. - Tracing and Smart Asserts, from every programmer's wildest dreams. - PINQ to SQLAlchemy, a clone of LINQ to SQL from C# - Quick Lambdas from Scala and Groovy - Parser Combinators, inspired by Scala's - JS Snippets, cross compiling snippets of Python into equivalent Javascript Along with a really nice readme which serves both as a demonstration of the capabilities of macros, and also as an introduction to the macro-writing process. This is probably going to be the last release that bundles all these demos together; future releases will begin properly breaking up the various macros into their own projects, and nicely polishing the core infrastructure into a solid foundation for others to build upon. We think that this is a pretty cool project, and can serve as a easy way for people to prototype modifications to the python language. We're looking forward to your feedback and welcome contributions =)

[RELEASED] Python 2.7.5
by Benjamin Peterson 16 May '13

16 May '13

It is my greatest pleasure to announce the release of Python 2.7.5. 2.7.5 is the latest maintenance release in the Python 2.7 series. You may be surprised to hear from me so soon, as Python 2.7.4 was released slightly more than a month ago. As it turns out, 2.7.4 had several regressions and incompatibilities with 2.7.3. Among them were regressions in the zipfile, gzip, and logging modules. 2.7.5 fixes these. In addition, a data file for testing in the 2.7.4 tarballs and binaries aroused the suspicion of some virus checkers. The 2.7.5 release removes this file to resolve that issue. For details, see the Misc/NEWS file in the distribution or view it at http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/ab05e7dd2788/Misc/NEWS Downloads are at http://python.org/download/releases/2.7.5/ As always, please report bugs to http://bugs.python.org/ (Thank you to those who reported these bugs in 2.7.4.) This is a production release. Happy May, Benjamin Peterson 2.7 Release Manager (on behalf of all of Python 2.7's contributors)

by holger krekel 14 May '13

14 May '13

Hi all, just did a quick release of devpi-server 0.8.5, the pypi.python.org caching server. This should fix some cases of uninstallable packages and removes "pip" and "virtualenv" from its dependencies. See https://pypi.python.org/pypi/devpi-server for details. Thanks to Markus Zapke-Gruendemann for some help and to everybody for reporting issues. cheers, holger
