ANN: Bokeh 0.6 release
by Bryan Van de Ven Sept. 10, 2014

Sept. 10, 2014

On behalf of the Bokeh team, I am very happy to announce the release of Bokeh version 0.6! Bokeh is a Python library for visualizing large and realtime datasets on the web. Its goal is to provide to developers (and domain experts) with capabilities to easily create novel and powerful visualizations that extract insight from local or remote (possibly large) data sets, and to easily publish those visualization to the web for others to explore and interact with. This release includes many bug fixes and improvements over our most recent 0.5.2 release: * Abstract Rendering recipes for large data sets: isocontour, heatmap * New charts in bokeh.charts: Time Series and Categorical Heatmap * Full Python 3 support for bokeh-server * Much expanded User and Dev Guides * Multiple axes and ranges capability * Plot object graph query interface * Hit-testing (hover tool support) for patch glyphs See the CHANGELOG for full details. I'd also like to announce a new Github Organization for Bokeh: https://github.com/bokeh. Currently it is home to Scala and and Julia language bindings for Bokeh, but the Bokeh project itself will be moved there before the next 0.7 release. Any implementors of new language bindings who are interested in hosting your project under this organization are encouraged to contact us. In upcoming releases, you should expect to see more new layout capabilities (colorbar axes, better grid plots and improved annotations), additional tools, even more widgets and more charts, R language bindings, Blaze integration and cloud hosting for Bokeh apps. Don't forget to check out the full documentation, interactive gallery, and tutorial at http://bokeh.pydata.org as well as the Bokeh IPython notebook nbviewer index (including all the tutorials) at: http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/ContinuumIO/bokeh-notebooks/blob/master/… If you are using Anaconda, you can install with conda: conda install bokeh Alternatively, you can install with pip: pip install bokeh BokehJS is also available by CDN for use in standalone javascript applications: http://cdn.pydata.org/bokeh-0.6.min.js http://cdn.pydata.org/bokeh-0.6.min.css Issues, enhancement requests, and pull requests can be made on the Bokeh Github page: https://github.com/continuumio/bokeh Questions can be directed to the Bokeh mailing list: bokeh(a)continuum.io If you have interest in helping to develop Bokeh, please get involved! Thanks, Bryan Van de Ven Continuum Analytics http://continuum.io

ANN: wxPython 3.0.1.0 release
by Robin Dunn Sept. 8, 2014

Sept. 8, 2014

Announcing ---------- wxPython 3.0.1.0 (classic) has been released and is now available for download at http://wxpython.org/download.php. (Finally! Sorry, but life and work has kept me busy.) No new features to speak of, but there has been lots of bug fixes in wxWidgets and a few on the wxPython side too. Various binaries are available for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, and also for OSX using the Carbon and Cocoa APIs, for Python 2.6 and 2.7. Source code is also available at http://wxpython.org/download.php of course, for building your own. What is wxPython? ----------------- wxPython is a GUI toolkit for the Python programming language. It allows Python programmers to create programs with a robust, highly functional graphical user interface, simply and easily. It is implemented as a set of Python extension modules that wrap the GUI components of the popular wxWidgets cross platform library, which is written in C++. wxPython is a cross-platform toolkit. This means that the same program will usually run on multiple platforms without modifications. Currently supported platforms are 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows, most Linux or other Unix-like systems using GTK2, and Mac OS X 10.4+. In most cases the native widgets are used on each platform to provide a 100% native look and feel for the application. -- Robin Dunn Software Craftsman http://wxPython.org

Vulture 0.6 released
by Jendrik Seipp Sept. 7, 2014

Sept. 7, 2014

vulture - Find dead code ======================== vulture finds unused classes, functions and variables in Python code. This helps you cleanup and find errors in your programs. If you run it on both your library and test suite you can find untested code. Due to Python's dynamic nature it is impossible to find all dead code for a static code analyzer like vulture, because it ignores scopes and scans only token names. Additionally some dynamic items that are not explicitly mentioned in the code may be incorrectly reported as dead code. Download ======== http://pypi.python.org/pypi/vulture Features ======== - Fast: Uses static code analysis - Lightweight: Only one module - Complements pyflakes and has the same output syntax - Supports Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.x News ==== * Ignore function names starting with "test_". * Parse variable names in new format strings (e.g. "This is {x}".format(x="nice")). * Only parse alphanumeric variable names in format strings and ignore types. * Abort with exit code 1 on syntax errors. * Support installation under Windows by using setuptools (thanks Reuben Fletcher-Costin). Cheers, Jendrik
