by Fabio Zadrozny 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

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://www.liclipse.com/ 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://www.liclipse.com for a PyDev standalone with all requirements bundled). * **PyVmMonitor Integration** * PyVmMonitor: http://www.pyvmmonitor.com/ is now in public beta, so, the PyDev integration (Window > Show View > Other > PyDev > Profile) may be used to profile your programs. * **Debugger** * The debug view now has an interactive console (with history) attached to it by default (which may be toggled on/off). (PyDev-507) * Debugger no longer reopens a file when that file is already opened. (PyDev-456) * Handled issue when getting referrers for some object gave an error if it was found in a dict where the key is not a string. * When interactive console starts in debug session, a banner is no longer shown. * Stepping with #@DontTrace no longer returns through decorator call-site. (PyDev-526) * The default for tracing template render exceptions on Django is now false. * **Interactive Console** * F2 to send contents from editor to console now considers backslash continuations. (PyDev-502) * Interactive Console interrupt now properly interrupts a sleep call (when possible). (PyDev-500) * PyDev interactive console now has a user-specified encoding (by default UTF-8). (PyDev-454) * Scroll the console on stdout / stderr output. (PyDev-504, patch by James Blackburn) * Moved interactive console initial commands to a separate preferences page. * Handling interrupted system call EINTR in the pydevconsole.py. (PyDev-534) * Fixed racing condition where the output of the console could appear as a user input. (PyDev-490, patch by James Blackburn) * **Refactoring** * Fixed issue where indentation lost on rename module refactoring. (PyDev-498) * The rename modules refactoring wizard now provides a way to do a simple resource rename (to rename extensions). * **Others** * Converting filename from .pyx to .py doesn't loose indexing on the file anymore. (PyDev-525) * The Cython parser now properly scopes methods. * Pasting contents directly in the PyDev package explorer to create a file uses the proper delimiter. * Fixed deadlock in ImageCache when rendering debug completions from console. (PyDev-527) * Fixed deadlock on racing condition when rendering PyTextHover. (PyDev-523) * Tab settings were separated from the editor color settings and may now be persisted in the project/user settings. * Fixed surround with try..finally/except indentation on Ctrl+1 when some line has a comment which has a different indentation. Cheers, -- Fabio Zadrozny ------------------------------------------------------ Software Developer LiClipse http://www.liclipse.com PyDev - Python Development Environment for Eclipse http://pydev.org http://pydev.blogspot.com PyVmMonitor - Python Profiler http://www.pyvmmonitor.com/

by M.-A. Lemburg 04 Feb '15

04 Feb '15

[Please help spread the word by forwarding to other relevant mailing lists, user groups, etc. world-wide; thanks :-)] ________________________________________________________________________ *** PSF Python Brochure "sold out" *** Please help us kick start the second print run ! http://brochure.getpython.info/ You can also read this posting online at: http://pyfound.blogspot.de/2015/02/psf-python-brochure-sold-out-help-us.html ________________________________________________________________________ First print run distributed to the community We are happy to announce that we have successfully distributed the first 5,000 copies of the PSF Python Brochure to Python conferences and user groups around the world: PSF Python Brochure Vol. 1 http://brochure.getpython.info/brochure-vol1.pdf Even without doing any major announcement of the possibility to order the brochure for conferences and user groups, we easily received enough requests to have the first print run completely distributed in just a few months. Brochures were sent to PyCon US 2014 in Montreal, EuroPython 2014, PyCons and open source conferences in India, UK, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, France, Belgium and to many professional users around the world. ________________________________________________________________________ Promoting Python to new audiences The feedback we received was positive all around. Conference attendees were really happy to be able to easily show and prove how Python changes the world, to make the point that learning and using Python is a good investment. The brochure helps them in promoting Python in their local and professional communities, especially to the many non-technical people we cannot easily reach with our python.org web site. We would like to thank all our sponsors and contributors for their hard work to achieve this impressing result. Learn more about the project http://brochure.getpython.info/learn-more ________________________________________________________________________ Please help us kick start the second print run ! In order to continue with the distribution of the remaining 5,000 copies of the Vol. 1 edition, we are now looking for two additional half page ad sponsors to help finance the print run and distribution costs. We have reserved the notes area on the inner back cover page of the brochure for these extra ads. If you would like to show your support for Python and its community and reach out to thousands of people interested in Python, now is the time to sign up as ad sponsor! Sign up as ad sponsor http://brochure.getpython.info/ ________________________________________________________________________ Pre-order the PSF Python Brochure We provide two options for pre-ordering the brochure from the second print run which will be available early in April 2015: * free Community Orders for conference and user groups * paid Company Orders for companies and organizations The costs for the community orders are sponsored through sponsor ads, the PSF and the company orders. Place your pre-order http://brochure.getpython.info/ ________________________________________________________________________ More information More information on the brochure, the idea and people behind it, media data and ordering links are available on our project page: PSF Python Brochure Project Website http://brochure.getpython.info/ Thank you for your help, -- Marc-Andre Lemburg Director Python Software Foundation http://www.python.org/psf/

ANN fuzzing 0.3.0 - Tools for stress testing applications.
by Stefan Braun 01 Feb '15

01 Feb '15

fuzzing: tools for stress testing arbitrary applications. ------------------------------------------------------------ Stress testing of applications can be done in lots of different ways. This package provides an easy to use tool to stress test applications which take files as parameters. Editors, image viewers, and many more classes of apps come to mind. The stress test is based on a given set of files, binary or text. Those files are taken randomly and some bytes are modified also randomly (fuzzing). Then the application gets executed with the fuzzed file. Repeating this over and over again stresses the robustness for defective input data of the application. Tutorial and API documentation can be found on ReadTheDocs: http://fuzzing.readthedocs.org/. fuzzing works with Python 3 (3.3, 3.4, and PyPy3 tested). What's new? -------------- Now you can run your tests in multiple processes. Test results are combined and printed. New features: * Run multiple tests in parallel on multiple processors. Number of processors and processes is configurable. * Test statistics of the processes are merged and printed. API changes: * FuzzExecutor.stats returns an instance of TestStatCounter, not a simple dict anymore. You may want to look into TestStatCounter and Status. See also run_fuzzer.py for intended usage. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Have fun breaking your apps ;-) Regards, Stefan
