[ANN] numexpr 2.2 released
by Francesc Alted Aug. 31, 2013

Aug. 31, 2013

========================== Announcing Numexpr 2.2 ========================== Numexpr is a fast numerical expression evaluator for NumPy. With it, expressions that operate on arrays (like "3*a+4*b") are accelerated and use less memory than doing the same calculation in Python. It wears multi-threaded capabilities, as well as support for Intel's VML library (included in Intel MKL), which allows an extremely fast evaluation of transcendental functions (sin, cos, tan, exp, log...) while … [View More]

A new version (0.3.5) of python-gnupg has been released.
by Vinay Sajip Aug. 30, 2013

Aug. 30, 2013

A new version of the Python module which wraps GnuPG has been released. What Changed? ============= This is a minor enhancement and bug-fix release. See the project website ( http://code.google.com/p/python-gnupg/ ) for more information. Summary: Added improved shell quoting to guard against shell injection attacks. Added search_keys() and send_keys() methods to interact with keyservers. A symmetric cipher algorithm can now be specified when encrypting. UTF-8 encoding is used as a fall back … [View More]when no other encoding can be determined. The key length now defaults to 2048 bits. A default Name-Comment field is no longer provided during key generation. What Does It Do? ================ The gnupg module allows Python programs to make use of the functionality provided by the Gnu Privacy Guard (abbreviated GPG or GnuPG). Using this module, Python programs can encrypt and decrypt data, digitally sign documents and verify digital signatures, manage (generate, list and delete) encryption keys, using proven Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) encryption technology based on OpenPGP. This module is expected to be used with Python versions >= 2.4, as it makes use of the subprocess module which appeared in that version of Python. This module is a newer version derived from earlier work by Andrew Kuchling, Richard Jones and Steve Traugott. A test suite using unittest is included with the source distribution. Simple usage: >>> import gnupg >>> gpg = gnupg.GPG(gnupghome='/path/to/keyring/directory') >>> gpg.list_keys() [{ ... 'fingerprint': 'F819EE7705497D73E3CCEE65197D5DAC68F1AAB2', 'keyid': '197D5DAC68F1AAB2', 'length': '1024', 'type': 'pub', 'uids': ['', 'Gary Gross (A test user) <gary.gr...(a)gamma.com>']}, { ... 'fingerprint': '37F24DD4B918CC264D4F31D60C5FEFA7A921FC4A', 'keyid': '0C5FEFA7A921FC4A', 'length': '1024', ... 'uids': ['', 'Danny Davis (A test user) <danny.da...(a)delta.com>']}] >>> encrypted = gpg.encrypt("Hello, world!", ['0C5FEFA7A921FC4A']) >>> str(encrypted) '-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----\nVersion: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux)\n \nhQIOA/6NHMDTXUwcEAf ... -----END PGP MESSAGE-----\n' >>> decrypted = gpg.decrypt(str(encrypted), passphrase='secret') >>> str(decrypted) 'Hello, world!' >>> signed = gpg.sign("Goodbye, world!", passphrase='secret') >>> verified = gpg.verify(str(signed)) >>> print "Verified" if verified else "Not verified" 'Verified' For more information, visit http://code.google.com/p/python-gnupg/ - as always, your feedback is most welcome (especially bug reports, patches and suggestions for improvement). Enjoy! Cheers Vinay Sajip Red Dove Consultants Ltd. [View Less]

by Tomer Filiba Aug. 25, 2013

Aug. 25, 2013

http://plumbum.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html 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 … [View More]
