ANN: RPQueue 0.21
by Josiah Carlson 20 Sep '13

20 Sep '13

Hello everyone, For those of you who didn't know, if you are interested in a Redis-backed time and/or fifo-queue with priorities, retries, etc., to be used with Python, one exists and is mature: it's called RPQueue, and it seeks to simplify your life of task execution. The recent changelog entries are below my signature. The package has been around for two years next month, and does exactly what you expect it to do - no more, no less. You can find the package at: https://github.com/josiahcarlson/rpqueue/ https://pypi.python.org/pypi/rpqueue Please CC me on any replies if you have any questions or comments. Thank you, - Josiah #----------------------------------- 0.21 ------------------------------------ [changed] where available, rpqueue will now use Lua to move delayed tasks from the time-based priority queue to fifo queues. This should reduce overhead in all cases, and should drastically improve performance for those that use large numbers of delayed tasks. [changed] the version number is now PEP 386/440 compliant. [added] this changelog that will document updates/changes/improvements in an easily referenced location. [fixed] thanks to https://github.com/dmaust , rpqueue added a missing 'redis' requirement.

ANN: SfePy 2013.3
by Robert Cimrman 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

I am pleased to announce release 2013.3 of SfePy. Description ----------- SfePy (simple finite elements in Python) is a software for solving systems of coupled partial differential equations by the finite element method. The code is based on NumPy and SciPy packages. It is distributed under the new BSD license. Home page: http://sfepy.org Downloads, mailing list, wiki: http://code.google.com/p/sfepy/ Git (source) repository, issue tracker: http://github.com/sfepy Highlights of this release -------------------------- - implementation of Mesh topology data structures in C - implementation of regions based on C Mesh (*) - MultiProblem solver for conjugate solution of subproblems - new advanced examples (vibro-acoustics, Stokes flow with slip conditions) (*) Warning: region selection syntax has been changed in a principal way, see [1]. Besides the simple renaming, all regions meant for boundary conditions or boundary/surface integrals need to have their kind set explicitly to 'facet' (or 'edge' in 2D, 'face' in 3D). [1] http://sfepy.org/doc-devel/users_guide.html#regions For full release notes see http://docs.sfepy.org/doc/release_notes.html#id1 (rather long and technical). Best regards, Robert Cimrman and Contributors (*) (*) Contributors to this release (alphabetical order): Vladimír Lukeš
