PyDev 3.5.0 Released
by Fabio Zadrozny 20 May '14

20 May '14

What is PyDev? --------------------------- PyDev is an open-source Python IDE on top of Eclipse for Python, Jython and IronPython development. It comes with goodies such as code completion, syntax highlighting, syntax analysis, code analysis, refactor, debug, interactive console, etc. Details on PyDev: http://pydev.org Details on its development: http://pydev.blogspot.com What is LiClipse? --------------------------- LiClipse is a PyDev standalone with goodies such as support for Multiple cursors, theming and a number of other languages such as Django Templates, Kivy Language, Mako Templates, Html, Javascript, etc. It's also a commercial counterpart which helps supporting the development of PyDev. Details on LiClipse: http://brainwy.github.io/liclipse/ Release Highlights: ------------------------------- - **Important**: PyDev requires Eclipse 3.8 or 4.3 onwards and Java 7! For older versions, keep using PyDev 2.x (or LiClipse for a PyDev standalone with all requirements bundled). * Adding plead for the current crowdfunding at http://tiny.cc/pydev-2014. * PyDev now has a new logo. * **py.test**: * Improved py.test test runner preferences page. * py.test integration improved to be less intrusive and work with xdist. * py.test protocol invocation now allows for module/session scoped fixtures to work properly. * Add bookmark and add task actions are shown in the ruler context menu (**Ctrl+F10**). * Code completion was not properly recognizing variables assigned to self inside an elif statement. * Django 1.7: Model.objects is manually patched inside PyDev to give proper code-completion results. * Debugger: hovering over private ('__' prefixed) variables now shows proper value. * Thread.isAlive() is no longer called to workaround debugger issue on Python 3.4. * Hyperlinking should not happen on spacing characters (I.e.: Ctrl+click on spaces). * Fixed NPE when interpreter is created with JDT and loaded afterwards without it. * Fixed issue where tokens cached information could end up being null after I/O. * Manually creating new run configuration no longer gives an exception (i.e.: configuration without associated project). * Out-of-sync error on PYTHONPATH change (patch by Danny Yoo) * There's an extension point for clients to resolve modules (patch by Danny Yoo). * **Ctrl+Shift+G** (find references) is now properly categorized. * Rename refactoring now validates files (read only) prior to refactoring (patch by Danny Yoo). * Not checking preferred settings when the PyDev plugin is started, but rather when a PyDev editor is opened. * Setting remote debugger socket to be properly reused. * The PyDev stdout/stderr redirector now properly uses PYTHONIOENCODING. Cheers, -- Fabio Zadrozny ------------------------------------------------------ Software Developer LiClipse http://brainwy.github.io/liclipse PyDev - Python Development Environment for Eclipse http://pydev.org http://pydev.blogspot.com

by Benjamin Peterson 18 May '14

18 May '14

Greetings Python users, Python 2.7.7 release candidate 1 is now available for download. Python 2.7.7 is a regularly scheduled bugfix release for the Python 2.7 series. The 2.7.7 release contains fixes for two severe, if arcane, potential security vulnerabilities. The first was the possibility of reading arbitrary process memory using JSONDecoder.raw_decode. [1] (No other json APIs are affected.) The second security issue is an integer overflow in the strop module. [2] (If you don't know what the strop module is, go ahead and forget it now.) This release also includes months of accumulated normal bugfixes. All the changes in Python 2.7.7 are described in detail in the Misc/NEWS file of the source tarball. You can view it online at http://hg.python.org/cpython/raw-file/e32e3a9f3902/Misc/NEWS Downloads are at https://python.org/download/releases/2.7.7/ This is a testing release. Assuming no horrible bugs are found, 2.7.7 final will be released in two weeks time. Please consider testing your applications and libraries with the release candidate and reporting bugs to http://bugs.python.org/ Enjoy, Benjamin Peterson 2.7 Release Manager [1] http://bugs.python.org/issue21529 [2] http://bugs.python.org/issue21530

Nikola v7.0.0 released!
by Chris “Kwpolska” Warrick 16 May '14

16 May '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On behalf of the Nikola team, I am pleased to announce the release of Nikola v7.0.0 (after 10 days of testing in RC1). What is Nikola? =============== Nikola is a static site and blog generator, written in Python. It can use Mako and Jinja2 templates, and input in many popular markup formats, such as reStructuredText and Markdown — and can even turn IPython Notebooks into blog posts! It also supports image galleries, and is multilingual. Nikola is flexible, and page builds are extremely fast, courtesy of doit (which is rebuilding only what has been changed). Find out more at the website: http://getnikola.com/ - --- Nikola v7.0.0 is the first major release since 8 months. As such, we had many things that could be changed. There are some things that you might need to change on your site, especially if you have a custom theme. Here is a short and incomplete list of the most important changes: Key Changes since v6.4.0 ======================== * New dependencies: ``natsort`` (natural sorting in galleries) and ``dateutil`` (replaces ``pytz``) * Many deprecated options were removed. * SCHEDULE_FORCE_TODAY, EXTRA_PLUGINS and ENABLED_EXTRAS are now removed and have no effect. * Two options were changed: - HIDE_SOURCELINK → SHOW_SOURCELINK (inverted) - HIDE_UNTRANSLATED_POSTS → SHOW_UNTRANSLATED_POSTS (inverted) * READ_MORE_LINK is split into INDEX_READ_MORE_LINK and RSS_READ_MORE_LINK. Moreover, new tags, like ``(remaining_)reading_time`` and ``(remaining_)paragraph_count``, were added. * Added options: FORCE_ISO8601, LOGO_URL, SHOW_BLOG_TITLE (logo support), GENERATE_RSS, ROBOTS_EXCLUSIONS, CONTENT_FOOTER_FORMATS, RSS_PLAIN, UNSLUGIFY_TITLES (for meta extraction from filenames). * Certain settings are now translatable. As of now, the settings are: BLOG_AUTHOR, BLOG_TITLE, BLOG_DESCRIPTION, LICENSE, CONTENT_FOOTER, SOCIAL_BUTTONS_CODE, SEARCH_FORM, BODY_END, EXTRA_HEAD_DATA, NAVIGATION_LINKS, READ_MORE_LINK. * There are many changes to themes. The ``base`` theme now offers a stylish look and is usable on sites, through a new stylesheet. The HTML code is now more semantic and sectioned, making it easier to style sites. Some templates are also renamed or removed. * The basic Jinja themes (base-jinja, bootstrap-jinja, bootstrap3-jinja) are now shipped with Nikola. Please remove any leftover copies from your themes/ folders. * You now can (and should!) specify a timezone offset in post dates, using a ``UTC±00:00`` syntax. (warning: ``UTC-03:00`` means *3 hours east of UTC* and not *west*, as is done in some Unix tools!) You can also use ISO 8601 dates (and if you want to do that, you should set ``FORCE_ISO8601=True`` to get those in new_post and new_page) * You now can use the reST metadata format in .meta files, allowing for greater flexibility. Get it! ======= Nikola v7.0.0 is available for download at `GitHub`_ and `PyPI`_. .. _GitHub: https://github.com/getnikola/nikola/releases/tag/v7.0.0 .. _PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Nikola Changelog ========= Features - -------- * Added ``UNSLUGIFY_TITLES`` option for making titles fetched via the filename regexp prettier (Issue #1282) * New dependencies: ``natsort`` (natural sorting in galleries) and ``dateutil`` (replaces ``pytz``) * Nikola.commands are now the user-friendly wrappers from console (Issue #1177) * Add a ``github_deploy`` command to deploy to GitHub pages (Issue #1208) * Remove tidy filter (it was broken due to tidy being ancient) (Issue #1164) * Added ``GENERATE_RSS`` setting to allow disabling RSS in Nikola (Issue #1236) * Link listings raw sources if COPY_SOURCES is True (Issue #1214) * Much more powerful ``nikola plugin`` command (Issue #1189) * More powerful console mode allows access to all nikola commands (Issue #830) * New ```ROBOTS_EXCLUSIONS``` option listing resources to exclude from sitemap and include in new generated /robots.txt (Issue #804) * Generate sitemapindex containing RSS and sitemap files (Issue #804) * Support hooks in templates, for use by plugins (Issue #896) * Use readline if available (Issue #1238) * Replaced ``READ_MORE_LINK`` with ``INDEX_READ_MORE_LINK`` and ``RSS_READ_MORE_LINK`` (Issue #1222) * Added reading_time, remaining_reading_time, paragraph_count, remaining_paragraph_count tags for READ_MORE_LINK (Issue #1220) * Add canonical link in listings. * Added support for new meta files that are the same format as 1-file metadata, allowing for greater flexibility (Issue #954) * Colorbox is now internationalized (Issue #1205) * Added LOGO_URL and SHOW_BLOG_TITLE=True settings to facilitate showing off logos (Issue #1122) * Create automatic story index pages for subfolders, too (Issue #793) * New Slovak translation by Tomáš Prékop * Created a MarkdownExtension plugin class (Issue #1175) * The base theme produces properly sectioned and semantic HTML5 (Issues #1123, #1137) * The base theme comes with a new stylish look by default (Issue #1137) * The base theme supports Right-to-Left by using ::dir(rtl) CSS4 rules and <html dir="rtl"> tags where valid (Issue #1146) * Bootstrap 2 updated to 2.3.2 (via Issue #1137) * Added FORCE_ISO8601 setting that currently makes new_post use ISO 8601 dates (via Issue #1156) * Added support for TZ specified in post date (Issue #1118) * Make ``nikola init`` ask about the site’s settings (Issue #1080) * Use natural sorting for files and folders list in listings and galleries (Issue #1144) * Added invariance testing (Issue #672) * Plugins can inject templates in the system (Issue #1139) * ``nikola import_wordpress`` now has a ``--qtranslate`` option, to parse posts in the qtranslate wordpress plugin format and turn them into multilingual Nikola posts (Issue #1072) * ``nikola console`` allows for interpreter choice via -b, -i, -p; moreover, support for bpython is not deprecated anymore (Issue #1126) * ``retired`` tag for posts has been replaced with ``private`` (via Issue #686) * Changed the default TRANSLATIONS_PATTERN to "{path}.{lang}.{ext}".

Eliot: a framework for Logging as Storytelling
by Itamar Turner-Trauring 16 May '14

16 May '14

Eliot provides a structured logging and tracing system for Python that generates log messages describing a forest of nested actions. Actions start and eventually finish, successfully or not. Log messages thus tell a story: what happened and what caused it. Here's what your logs might look like before using Eliot: Going to validate http://example.com/index.html. Started download attempted. Download succeeded! Missing <title> element in "/html/body". Bad HTML entity in "/html/body/p[2]". 2 validation errors found! After switching to Eliot you'll get a tree of messages with both message contents and causal relationships encoded in a structured format: * {"action_type": "validate_page", "action_status": "started", "url": "http://example.com/index.html"} o {"action_type": "download", "action_status": "started"} o {"action_type": "download", "action_status": "succeeded"} o {"action_type": "validate_html", "action_status": "started"} + {"message_type": "validation_error", "error_type": "missing_title", "xpath": "/html/head"} + {"message_type": "validation_error", "error_type": "bad_entity", "xpath": "/html/body/p[2]"} o {"action_type": "validate_html", "action_status": "failed", "exception": "validator.ValidationFailed"} * {"action_type": "validate_page", "action_status": "failed", "exception": "validator.ValidationFailed"} Features: * Structured, typed log messages. * Ability to log actions, not just point-in-time information: log messages become a trace of program execution. * Excellent support for unit testing your logging code. * Emphasis on performance, including no blocking I/O in logging code path. * Optional Twisted support. * Designed for JSON output, usable by Logstash/Elasticsearch. * Supports CPython 2.7, 3.3 and PyPy. Eliot is released by HybridCluster <https://hybridcluster.github.io> under the Apache 2.0 License. To install: $ pip install eliot Downloads are available on PyPI <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/eliot>. Documentation can be found on Read The Docs <https://eliot.readthedocs.org/>. Bugs and feature requests should be filed at the project Github page <https://github.com/hybridcluster/eliot>.

Fwd: ANN: Intro+Intermediate Python, San Francisco, Jul 30-31, Aug 1
by wesley chun 13 May '14

13 May '14

Greetings! I'll be offering another hardcore Python course this summer near the San Francisco airport. If you're somewhat new to or have some Python experience under your belt already but want to fill-in the holes, this course is for you. Why take a real course when you can learn Python online or by reading books? Well, my goal isn't to teach Python syntax, which you can from any teacher, live or online, or from giant books. My job is to create great Python developers and removing the roadblocks that impede your path to getting there. This intensive course is based on my "Core Python" (http://corepython.com) books and is made up of 3 full days complete with lectures and several hands-on coding labs per day. t's also a great excuse to coming to beautiful Northern California for a summer vacation! Groups and development teams are welcome as well as individuals. I do more private gigs and fewer of these public courses lately, so please come join if you can... my next public intro/intermediate course may not be for awhile, so I'm hoping to meet some of you this time around! Sign up soon... there's a special earlybird rate for the rest of this month before going up to the regular rate after that. More details and registration at http://cyberwebconsulting.com as well as in the ad: http://goo.gl/pyJseQ I'm no fan of spam, so I'll only send out one last reminder as the date gets closer... say around the end of June.
