fades 2.0
by Facundo Batista Feb. 27, 2015

Feb. 27, 2015

Hello all, We're glad to announce the release of fades 2.0. fades, a FAst DEpendencies for Scripts, is a system that automatically handles the virtualenvs in the simple cases normally found when writing scripts or simple programs. It will automagically create a new virtualenv (or reuse a previous created one), installing the necessary dependencies, and execute your script inside that virtualenv. You only need to execute the script with fades (instead of Python) and also mark the required dependencies. More details here: https://github.com/PyAr/fades/ What's new in this release? - Have a system-wide cache for created virtualenvs: improves reusing and speed - As a result of previous feature, don't store metadata per-script (*in* the script) anymore - Allow to indicate the project name if the module is different (e.g. "import bs4 # fades.pypi beautifulsoup4 == 3.5") - Support complex version requirements (e.g. "<2.6,>1.3,!=1.9") - Handle packages that whose names are changed by pip - Other minor bugfixes and improvements To get it: - For debian/ubuntu you have a .deb here: http://taniquetil.com.ar/fades/fades-latest.deb - Install it in Arch is very simple: yaourt -S fades - Using pip if you want: pip3 install fades - You can always get the multiplatform tarball and install it in the old fashion way: wget http://taniquetil.com.ar/fades/fades-latest.tar.gz tar -xf fades-latest.tar.gz cd fades-* sudo ./setup.py install Help / questions: - You can ask any question or send any recommendation or request to the mailing list. http://listas.python.org.ar/mailman/listinfo/fades - Also, you can open an issue here (please do if you find any problem!). https://github.com/PyAr/fades/issues/new Thanks in advance for your time! -- .

tox-1.9: refinements, fixes (+detox-0.9.4)
by holger krekel Feb. 24, 2015

Feb. 24, 2015

tox-1.9 was released to pypi, a maintenance release with mostly backward-compatible enhancements and fixes. However, tox now defaults to pip-installing only non-development releases and you have to set "pip_pre = True" in your testenv section to have it install development ("pre") releases. In addition, there is a new detox-0.9.4 out which allow to run tox test environments in parallel and fixes a compat problem with eventlet. Thanks to Alexander Schepanosvki, Florian Schulze and others for the contributed fixes and improvements. More documentation about tox in general: http://tox.testrun.org/ Installation: pip install -U tox code hosting and issue tracking on bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/tox What is tox? ---------------- tox standardizes and automates tedious test activities driven from a simple ``tox.ini`` file, including: * creation and management of different virtualenv environments with different Python interpreters * packaging and installing your package into each of them * running your test tool of choice, be it nose, py.test or unittest2 or other tools such as "sphinx" doc checks * testing dev packages against each other without needing to upload to PyPI best, Holger Krekel, merlinux GmbH 1.9.0 ----------- - fix issue193: Remove ``--pre`` from the default ``install_command``; by default tox will now only install final releases from PyPI for unpinned dependencies. Use ``pip_pre = true`` in a testenv or the ``--pre`` command-line option to restore the previous behavior. - fix issue199: fill resultlog structure ahead of virtualenv creation - refine determination if we run from Jenkins, thanks Borge Lanes. - echo output to stdout when ``--report-json`` is used - fix issue11: add a ``skip_install`` per-testenv setting which prevents the installation of a package. Thanks Julian Krause. - fix issue124: ignore command exit codes; when a command has a "-" prefix, tox will ignore the exit code of that command - fix issue198: fix broken envlist settings, e.g. {py26,py27}{-lint,} - fix issue191: lessen factor-use checks

devpi maintenance releases
by holger krekel Feb. 24, 2015

Feb. 24, 2015

Hi all, Florian Schulze just released several devpi package maintenance updates to PyPI, see the changelogs below for details. Upgrading is considered safe and does not require an export/import cycle on the server side. Note that the "devpi" metapackage is discontinued, please rather use:: pip install devpi-server devpi-client if you want to install both server and client. You can also install devpi-web if you want more web UI including search. Docs for devpi are here, including quickstart tutorials : http://doc.devpi.net have fun, holger devpi-client-2.0.5 ------------------ - fix issue209: argument default handling changed in argparse in Python 2.7.9. - fix issue163: use PIP_CONFIG_FILE environment variable if set. - fix issue191: provide return code !=0 for failures during push devpi-server-2.1.4 ------------------ - fix issue214: the whitelisting code stopped inheritance too early. - fix regression: easy_install went to the full simple project list for a non existing project. - When uploading an existing version to a non-volatile index, it's now a no op instead of an error if the content is identical. If the content is different, it's still an error. - Uploading documentation to non-volatile indexes is now protected the same way as packages. - added code to allow filtering on packages with stable version numbers. - Change nginx template to set the X-outside-url header based on the requested URL. This makes it possible to connect by IP address when the server name is not in DNS. devpi-web-2.2.3 --------------- - fix issue207: added documentation url for latest stable release of a package. devpi-common-2.0.5 ------------------ - added code to allow filtering on stable version numbers.
