PyDev 3.7.0 Released
by Fabio Zadrozny 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '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 (use LiClipse: http://brainwy.github.io/liclipse for a PyDev standalone with all requirements bundled). * **Minimap** * Minimap is enabled by default. * The minimap now shows content based on the outline. * It's possible to customize the minimap selection color. * Fixed issue where the background in the minimap could have a part with a different color until the image was fully redrawn. * Scrollbars hidden by default. * **Editor** * Auto code-completion on all letter chars is enabled by default. * **Debugger** * Merged debugger code with the PyCharm fork. * Fix the wrong signature of stackless.get_schedule_callback. * Breakpoints work in Django templates (requires the LiClipse: http://brainwy.github.io/liclipse/ html/django editor to work). * Gevent debugging (must be enabled in the debugger preferences page). * Faster debugging when dealing with huge dicts/sets/lists/tuples. * QThreads can be debugged (for remote debugging, 'import pydevd' must be done before any user code is executed for it to work). * **Interactive Console** * Output is gotten asynchronously. * It's possible to interrupt the console. * **Others** * Autopep8 now works with non ascii sources. * More than 20 levels of indentation no longer causes ArrayOutOfBoundsException. * Fixed some NullPointerExceptions. * A bunch of other bugfixes.

ANN: eGenix PyRun - One file Python Runtime 2.0.1
by eGenix Team: M.-A. Lemburg 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

________________________________________________________________________ ANNOUNCING eGenix PyRun - One file Python Runtime Version 2.0.1 An easy-to-use single file relocatable Python run-time - available for Linux, Mac OS X and Unix platforms, with support for Python 2.6, 2.7 and now **also for Python 3.4**. This announcement is also available on our web-site for online reading: http://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-PyRun-2.0.1-GA.html ________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION eGenix PyRun is our open source, one file, no installation version of Python, making the distribution of a Python interpreter to run based scripts and applications to Unix based systems as simple as copying a single file. eGenix PyRun's executable only needs 11MB for Python 2 and 13MB for Python 3, but still supports most Python application and scripts - and it can be compressed to just 3-4MB using upx, if needed. Compared to a regular Python installation of typically 100MB on disk, eGenix PyRun is ideal for applications and scripts that need to be distributed to several target machines, client installations or customers. It makes "installing" Python on a Unix based system as simple as copying a single file. eGenix has been using the product internally in the mxODBC Connect Server since 2008 with great success and decided to make it available as a stand-alone open-source product. We provide both the source archive to build your own eGenix PyRun, as well as pre-compiled binaries for Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X, as 32- and 64-bit versions. The binaries can be downloaded manually, or you can let our automatic install script install-pyrun take care of the installation: ./install-pyrun dir and you're done. Please see the product page for more details: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/PyRun/ ________________________________________________________________________ NEWS This is a patch level release of eGenix PyRun 2.0. The major new feature in 2.0 is the added Python 3.4 support. New Features ------------ * Upgraded eGenix PyRun to work with and use Python 2.7.8 per default. Enhancements / Changes ---------------------- * Fixed a bug in the license printer to show the correct license URL. install-pyrun Quick Install Enhancements --------------------------------------------- eGenix PyRun includes a shell script called install-pyrun, which greatly simplifies installation of PyRun. It works much like the virtualenv shell script used for creating new virtual environments (except that there's nothing virtual about PyRun environments). https://downloads.egenix.com/python/install-pyrun With the script, an eGenix PyRun installation is as simple as running: ./install-pyrun targetdir This will automatically detect the platform, download and install the right pyrun version into targetdir. We have updated this script since the last release: * Updated install-pyrun to default to eGenix PyRun 2.0.1 and its feature set. For a complete list of changes, please see the eGenix PyRun Changelog: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/PyRun/changelog.html Please see the eGenix PyRun 2.0.0 announcement for more details about eGenix PyRun 2.0: http://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-PyRun-2.0.0-GA.html ________________________________________________________________________ LICENSE eGenix PyRun is distributed under the eGenix.com Public License 1.1.0 which is an Open Source license similar to the Python license. You can use eGenix PyRun in both commercial and non-commercial settings without fee or charge. Please see our license page for more details: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/PyRun/license.html The package comes with full source code. ________________________________________________________________________ DOWNLOADS The download archives and instructions for installing eGenix PyRun can be found at: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/PyRun/ As always, we are providing pre-built binaries for all common platforms: Windows 32/64-bit, Linux 32/64-bit, FreeBSD 32/64-bit, Mac OS X 32/64-bit. Source code archives are available for installation on other platforms, such as Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, etc. _______________________________________________________________________ SUPPORT Commercial support for this product is available from eGenix.com.

CaptureMock 1.1 - true record/replay mocking for Python
by Geoff Bache 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

Hi all, Version 1.1 adds support for Python3.3, and also directly intercepting classes as well as modules or functions. Regards, Geoff Bache More detail: CaptureMock is a tool for creating mocks via a "true" capture-replay style approach. It records interactions to a separate file which can then be used for replay in future runs. It is thus not another "EasyMock" clone. Interaction can be recaptured from a real system at any point, and no mock code needs to be written. It handles Python calls, command-line programs, and synchronous messaging over networks. Custom clients can now also be written for any language.

Nose 1.3.4
by John Szakmeister 24 Aug '14

24 Aug '14

1.3.4 fixes an issue with Python 3.4 and initializing a TestSuite properly, along with a couple of other minor issues. Also note that nose 1.x is in maintenance mode. We will not be looking to add any features, and you should seriously consider looking at nose2 as the way forward. If you're interested in the future of nose, please take a look at the nose2 project on github (https://github.com/nose-devs/nose2) or pypi (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/nose2/0.4.7). And lastly if you have the money to spare, please consider donating to the John Hunter memorial fund (http://numfocus.org/johnhunter/). We all give up time with our families to work on free software: so now the free software community that has benefited so much from that time we took can give something back to his family. -John

MediaProvider v0.1.02 released
by Tobias Wolf 23 Aug '14

23 Aug '14

MediaProvider *v0.1.02* has been released. This is a *alpha bugfix release* intended for testing and development purposes. *Fixes* v0.1.02 - Database connection related exceptions like "... already closed" or related to objects created in different threads have been resolved. *About the project* MediaProvider [1] is an Open Source project to provide media in your network. It should be irrelevant on which device they should be played back or where the data is stored. Test results can be published on the user community [2]. More detailed information how to get all relevant details are available in the user guide on the web site. The source code for all modules being used are on github [3]. Please visit our development web site [4] for more information. *Vision* As the first step a MediaServer compliant to the UPnP standard is available for duty. It should be accessible by any DLNA compatible device. But this Python- based software should not only be a UPnP / DLNA server. A HTML5 interface intended for SmartTVs and mobile devices should bring a MediaCenter interface where it belongs to: To the TV screen. *Indiegogo NAS campaign* To bring the project one step closer to this goal we need your help. An Indiegogo [5] campaign should provide this young project the funds to buy a Synology DiskStation DS414slim and four hard drives. This development unit is intended to be placed in a cellar or corridor to stream not only all the media to the living room but the MediaCenter interface as well. Best regards Tobias "NotTheEvilOne" Wolf [1] https://www.mediaprovider.net [2] https://www.mediaprovider.net/discuss/view/list/dsd%20dlid%206822045ce3c54e… [3] https://github.com/dNG-git [4] https://www.mediaprovider.org [5] http://igg.me/p/841077
