New major omniORBpy release, version 4.2.0
by Duncan Grisby 29 Apr '14

29 Apr '14

I am pleased to announce the release of a new major version of omniORBpy, version 4.2.0. omniORBpy is a high performance free CORBA implementation for Python. omniORB 4.2 has a number of new features compared to omniORB 4.1.x, both large and small. Here are the highlights: - Full Asynchronous Method Invocation (AMI) support. - Support for ZIOP, which compresses large messages. - Call timeouts are indicated with the CORBA.TIMEOUT exception, rather than CORBA.TRANSIENT (unless suppressed with the throwTransientOnTimeout configuration parameter). - Servers can be limited to a range of ports to listen on. - In Python, IDL attributes can now be accessed as properties of object references. i.e. IDL attribute 'example' can be accessed as obj.example as well as with obj._get_example() and obj._set_example(). - Ancient Python versions are no longer supported. omniidl and omniORBpy now only work with Python 2.5 or later. The releases can be downloaded in source and Windows binary forms from SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/omniorb/files/omniORBpy/omniORBpy-4.2.0/ Thank you to everyone who contributed to these releases in one way or another. Enjoy! Duncan. -- -- Duncan Grisby -- -- duncan(a)grisby.org -- -- http://www.grisby.org --

ANN: eGenix mxODBC Connect 2.0.5 - Python ODBC Database Interface
by eGenix Team: M.-A. Lemburg 24 Apr '14

24 Apr '14

________________________________________________________________________ ANNOUNCING eGenix.com mxODBC Connect Python ODBC Database Interface Version 2.0.5 mxODBC Connect is our commercially supported client-server product for connecting Python applications to relational databases in a truly platform independent way. This announcement is also available on our web-site for online reading: http://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-mxODBC-Connect-2.0.5-GA.html ________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION The mxODBC Connect Database Interface for Python allows users to easily connect Python applications to all major databases on the market today in a highly portable, convenient and secure way. Python Database Connectivity the Easy Way ----------------------------------------- Unlike our mxODBC Python extension, mxODBC Connect is designed as client-server application, so you no longer need to find production quality ODBC drivers for all the platforms you target with your Python application. Instead you use an easy to install royalty-free Python client library which connects directly to the mxODBC Connect database server over the network. This makes mxODBC Connect a great basis for writing cross-platform multi-tier database applications and utilities in Python, especially if you run applications that need to communicate with databases such as MS SQL Server and MS Access, Oracle Database, IBM DB2 and Informix, Sybase ASE and Sybase Anywhere, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SAP MaxDB and many more, that run on Windows or Linux machines. Ideal for Database Driven Client Applications --------------------------------------------- By removing the need to install and configure ODBC drivers on the client side and dealing with complicated network setups for each set of drivers, mxODBC Connect greatly simplifies deployment of database driven client applications, while at the same time making the network communication between client and database server more efficient and more secure. For more information, please have a look at the mxODBC Connect product page, in particular, the full list of available features. For more information, please see the product page: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxODBCConnect/ ________________________________________________________________________ NEWS The 2.0.5 release of mxODBC Connect includes the following enhancements and fixes: Security Enhancements --------------------- * Upgraded client and server to the most recent eGenix pyOpenSSL Distribution 0.13.3.1.0.1.7 (see http://egenix.com/go54 for details) to address the recently found Heartbleed Bug in OpenSSL 1.0.1 - 1.0.1f: - CVE-2014-0160 ("Heartbleed Bug"): A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension can be used to reveal up to 64kB of memory to a connected client or server. This issue did not affect versions of OpenSSL prior to 1.0.1. For information, also have a look at the Heartbleed Bug website: http://heartbleed.com/ For the full set of changes, please check the mxODBC Connect change log: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxODBCConnect/changelog.html mxODBC Connect 2.0 Highlights ----------------------------- mxODBC Connect 2.0 was released on 2012-08-20. These are the most important highlights: * mxODBC Connect Server now uses mxODBC 3.2 internally and makes its API available in the mxODBC Connect Client. This is a major step forward from the mxODBC 3.0 version used in mxODBC Connect Server 1.0. * We've added native Windows x64 builds. * mxODBC Connect Client now integrates directly with gevent, allowing client applications to run asynchronous tasks while performing remote database queries. Please see the release announcement for full details: http://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-mxODBC-Connect-2.0.0-GA.html ________________________________________________________________________ UPGRADING You are encouraged to upgrade to this latest mxODBC Connect release. When upgrading, please always upgrade both the server and the client installations to the same version - even for patch level releases. Customers who have purchased mxODBC Connect 2.0 licenses can continue to use their licenses with this patch level release. Customers who have purchased mxODBC Connect 1.x licenses can request 20% discount coupons for upgrade purchases. Please contact the eGenix.com Sales Team (sales(a)egenix.com) with your existing license serials for details.

ANN Nanpy 0.9
by Andrea Stagi 22 Apr '14

22 Apr '14

Hi all, I'm glad to announce you Nanpy 0.9 release! https://pypi.python.org/pypi/nanpy/0.9 The main purpose of Nanpy is making programmers' life easier, giving them something to create prototypes faster and use Arduino in a simpler way, thanks to a simple and powerful language like Python. Also Nanpy can run on RaspberryPi (tested with Raspbian http://www.raspbian.org/) so you can use it for communicating with Arduino :) Let's start with a classic example, turn on a led placed in the 13th pin.. from nanpy import (ArduinoApi, SerialManager) connection = SerialManager() a = ArduinoApi(connection=connection) a.pinMode(13, a.OUTPUT) a.digitalWrite(13, a.HIGH) NOTE: you can also use the old serial_manager global object There are a lot of projects able to do that. Nanpy can do more! Nanpy is easily extensible and can theoretically use every library, allowing you to create how many objects you want. We started supporting OneWire, Lcd, Stepper and Servo library and they're still incomplete. Let's try to connect our 16x2 lcd screen on pins 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and print something! connection = SerialManager() lcd = Lcd([7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12], [16, 2], connection=connection) lcd.printString("Hello World!") really straightforward now, isn't it? :) Multithreading -------------- What happens if you call methods in an async context? Nothing bad, all works! every call is mutually exclusive.. For example, suppose that two threads need to write on the same Lcd and in different positions at the same time... well, just call printString on the Lcd object specifying the position (row and column) #Thread_1 ... lcd.printString("Hello First Row!", 0, 0) ... #Thread_2 .... lcd.printString("Hello Second Row!", 0, 1) ... How to build and install ------------------------ You need to build the firmware for your Arduino first, just clone the firmware repository at https://github.com/nanpy/firmware and follow the README to configure and build it. To install Nanpy Python library just type (as root): python setup.py install How to use ---------- ### Serial communication Nanpy autodetects the serial port for you, anyway you can specify another serial port manually: from nanpy import SerialManager connection = SerialManager(device='/dev/ttyACM1') ### Import modules Import all the modules you need :) from nanpy import Arduino from nanpy import (OneWire, Lcd) ... How to contribute ----------------- Nanpy needs a lot of work to be a great tool. You can contribute with patches (bugfixing, writing improvements, creating support for a new library not included in Nanpy yet, writing examples and so on), writing documentation, reporting bugs, creating packages or simply spreading Nanpy through the web if you like it :) If you have any doubt or problem, please contact me at <stagi.andrea(a)gmail.com> Do you want to support us with a coffee? We need it to code all night long! if you like this project and you want to support it with some cents, please donate :) https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=TDTPP5… -- Andrea Stagi (@4stagi) - Develer S.r.l Job profile: http://linkedin.com/in/andreastagi Website: http://4spills.blogspot.it/ Github: http://github.com/astagi

ANN: pyparsing 2.0.2 released
by Paul McGuire 18 Apr '14

18 Apr '14

I'm happy to announce a new release of pyparsing, version 2.0.2. This release contains some small enhancements and some bugfixes. Change summary: --------------- - Extended "expr(name)" shortcut (same as "expr.setResultsName(name)") to accept "expr()" as a shortcut for "expr.copy()". - Added "locatedExpr(expr)" helper, to decorate any returned tokens with their location within the input string. Adds the results names locn_start and locn_end to the output parse results. - Added "pprint()" method to ParseResults, to simplify troubleshooting and prettified output. Now instead of importing the pprint module and then writing "pprint.pprint(result)", you can just write "result.pprint()". This method also accepts additional positional and keyword arguments (such as indent, width, etc.), which get passed through directly to the pprint method (see http://docs.python.org/2/library/pprint.html#pprint.pprint). - Removed deprecation warnings when using '<<' for Forward expression assignment. '<<=' is still preferred, but '<<' will be retained for cases where '<<=' operator is not suitable (such as in defining lambda expressions). - Expanded argument compatibility for classes and functions that take list arguments, to now accept generators as well. - Extended list-like behavior of ParseResults, adding support for append and extend. NOTE: if you have existing applications using these names as results names, you will have to access them using dict-style syntax: res["append"] and res["extend"] - ParseResults emulates the change in list vs. iterator semantics for methods like keys(), values(), and items(). Under Python 2.x, these methods will return lists, under Python 3.x, these methods will return iterators. - ParseResults now has a method haskeys() which returns True or False depending on whether any results names have been defined. This simplifies testing for the existence of results names under Python 3.x, which returns keys() as an iterator, not a list. - ParseResults now supports both list and dict semantics for pop(). If passed no argument or an integer argument, it will use list semantics and pop tokens from the list of parsed tokens. If passed a non-integer argument (most likely a string), it will use dict semantics and pop the corresponding value from any defined results names. A second default return value argument is supported, just as in dict.pop(). - Fixed bug in markInputline, thanks for reporting this, Matt Grant! - Cleaned up my unit test environment, now runs with Python 2.6 and 3.3. Download pyparsing 2.0.2 at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyparsing/, or use 'easy_install pyparsing'. You can also access pyparsing's epydoc documentation online at http://packages.python.org/pyparsing/. The pyparsing Wiki is at http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com. -- Paul ======================================== Pyparsing is a pure-Python class library for quickly developing recursive-descent parsers. Parser grammars are assembled directly in the calling Python code, using classes such as Literal, Word, OneOrMore, Optional, etc., combined with operators '+', '|', and '^' for And, MatchFirst, and Or. No separate code-generation or external files are required. Pyparsing can be used in many cases in place of regular expressions, with shorter learning curve and greater readability and maintainability. Pyparsing comes with a number of parsing examples, including: - "Hello, World!" (English, Korean, Greek, and Spanish(new)) - chemical formulas - Verilog parser - Google protobuf parser - time expression parser/evaluator - configuration file parser - web page URL extractor - 5-function arithmetic expression parser - subset of CORBA IDL - chess portable game notation - simple SQL parser - Mozilla calendar file parser - EBNF parser/compiler - Python value string parser (lists, dicts, tuples, with nesting) (safe alternative to eval) - HTML tag stripper - S-expression parser - macro substitution preprocessor
