[RELEASED] Python 3.5.0a3 is now available
by Larry Hastings March 30, 2015

March 30, 2015

On behalf of the Python development community and the Python 3.5 release team, I'm thrilled to announce the availability of Python 3.5.0a3. Python 3.5.0a3 is the third alpha release of Python 3.5, which will be the next major release of Python. Python 3.5 is still under heavy development, and is far from complete. This is a preview release, and its use is not recommended for production settings. Two important notes for Windows users about Python 3.5.0a3: * If you have previously installed Python 3.5.0a1, you may need to manually uninstall it before installing Python 3.5.0a3 (issue23612). * If installing Python 3.5.0a3 as a non-privileged user, you may need to escalate to administrator privileges to install an update to your C runtime libraries. You can find Python 3.5.0a3 here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-350a3/ Happy hacking, //arry/

ANN: Leo 5.1-b1 released. Python scripting editor
by edreamleo＠gmail.com March 27, 2015

March 27, 2015

Leo 5.1 b1 is now available at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/leo/files/Leo/ This release features @clean trees, one of the most important developments in Leo's history. Leo is a PIM, an IDE and an outliner. Video tutorials: http://leoeditor.com/screencasts.html Text tutorials: http://leoeditor.com/tutorial.html The highlights of Leo 5.1 -------------------------- @clean nodes create external files without sentinel comments, yet Leo can update @clean trees from changes made to the corresponding external files, something long thought impossible. @clean trees preserve clone links and user attributes (uA's). Reading @clean trees is faster than reading @auto or @shadow trees. The Mulder/Ream algorithm updates @clean trees from changes made in the corresponding external files. This is a completely rewritten and much simpler version of Bernhard Mulder's original @shadow update algorithm. http://leoeditor.com/appendices.html#the-mulder-ream-update-algorithm Steve Zatz explains why @clean changes everything: http://leoeditor.com/testimonials.html#steve-zatz-explains-why-clean-change… Some more highlights: * A new web page, http://leoeditor.com/load-leo.html, displays .leo files in the browser. * Added command history to Leo's minibuffer. * A new IdleTime class greatly simplifies idle-time handling. * Leo now honors @language inside @doc parts * @data nodes can be composed of their descendant nodes. * @int qt-cursor-width = 5 is great for geriatric eyes. * @shadow is now deprecated. @clean is superior to @shadow in all respects. Leo will support all flavors of @auto indefinitely.

Hunter 0.2 Released
by Ionel Cristian Mărieș March 27, 2015

March 27, 2015

Hello all, I'm pleased to announce the second release for hunter: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/hunter/0.2.0 What is Hunter? =============== Hunter is a tracer tool, designed to be used for debugging or just to understand how an application works. It's designed to be flexible and extensible with custom actions or filters. It prints the executed code from locations of your choosing and can optionally print variables from the frames. It also colors the output if you're in a terminal. Quick example ------------- To show all the executed code from `posixpath`: import hunter hunter.trace(module='posixpath') To show all the executed code from `posixpath` and a variable: hunter.trace(hunter.Q( module='posixpath', action=hunter.VarsPrinter('path'))) For convenience, you can also activate it via a `PYTHONHUNTER` environment variable, eg: PYTHONHUNTER="module='posixpath'" python yourapp.py For more examples see: https://github.com/ionelmc/python-hunter Changes in 0.2 ============== * Added color support (and colorama as dependency). * Added support for expressions in VarsPrinter. * Improved error reporting for env variable activation (PYTHONHUNTER). * Fixed env var activator (the .pth file) installation with setup.py install (the “egg installs”) and setup.py develop/pip install -e (the “egg links”). * Breaking changes: * Renamed F to Q. And Q is now just a convenience wrapper for Query. * Renamed the PYTHON_HUNTER env variable to PYTHONHUNTER. * Changed When to take positional arguments. * Changed output to show 2 path components (still not configurable). * Changed VarsPrinter to take positional arguments for the names. Download page ============= https://pypi.python.org/pypi/hunter Project page and issue tracker ============================== https://github.com/ionelmc/python-hunter Thanks, -- Ionel Cristian Mărieș, http://blog.ionelmc.ro

PingPung 0.1.14 Alpha Release
by Josh Price March 26, 2015

March 26, 2015

A Python3 and PyQT4 Multiplatform Desktop Ping Application PingPung is intended to fill the niche of a truly multiplatform graphical ping application. Unlike other desktop ping utilities, it does NOT use your operating system's builtin 'ping' program at all. Instead, it uses a pure Python 3 library which creates its own socket. *** Because of this, it will require root privileges on many/all platforms.*** If you're uncomfortable with that, there are many other platform-specific graphical ping apps out there which do not require root (because they're just wrappers around the OS's existing ping util). A note about dependencies This application uses PyQt4 as the graphical library, which is not installable via PyPI and will need to be done separately. On Debian/Ubuntu, for example, it's as simple as sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt4 If you intend to build for Windows, you'll also need to install cx_freeze by any method you choose, and build with python winsetup.py build_exe The ping library in use was derived from a standalone application found here http://www.falatic.com/index.php/39/pinging-with-python Installation PingPung is a Python 3 application, and for any system with Python 3, it's just pip3 install pingpung Windows users can download the Windows ZIP file linked on our website https://raindogsoftware.github.io/pingpung/ Source: https://github.com/RainDogSoftware/pingpung

pytest-2.7.0: fixes, features and more speed
by holger krekel March 26, 2015

March 26, 2015

pytest-2.7.0: fixes, features, speed improvements =========================================================================== pytest is a mature Python testing tool with more than a 1100 tests against itself, passing on many different interpreters and platforms. This release is supposed to be drop-in compatible to 2.6.X. See below for the changes and see docs at: http://pytest.org As usual, you can upgrade from pypi via:: pip install -U pytest Thanks to all who contributed, among them: Anatoly Bubenkoff Floris Bruynooghe Brianna Laugher Eric Siegerman Daniel Hahler Ronny Pfannschmidt Charles Cloud Tom Viner Holger Peters Ldiary Translations almarklein have fun, holger krekel 2.7.0 (compared to 2.6.4) ----------------------------- - fix issue435: make reload() work when assert rewriting is active. Thanks Daniel Hahler. - fix issue616: conftest.py files and their contained fixutres are now properly considered for visibility, independently from the exact current working directory and test arguments that are used. Many thanks to Eric Siegerman and his PR235 which contains systematic tests for conftest visibility and now passes. This change also introduces the concept of a ``rootdir`` which is printed as a new pytest header and documented in the pytest customize web page. - change reporting of "diverted" tests, i.e. tests that are collected in one file but actually come from another (e.g. when tests in a test class come from a base class in a different file). We now show the nodeid and indicate via a postfix the other file. - add ability to set command line options by environment variable PYTEST_ADDOPTS. - added documentation on the new pytest-dev teams on bitbucket and github. See https://pytest.org/latest/contributing.html . Thanks to Anatoly for pushing and initial work on this. - fix issue650: new option ``--docttest-ignore-import-errors`` which will turn import errors in doctests into skips. Thanks Charles Cloud for the complete PR. - fix issue655: work around different ways that cause python2/3 to leak sys.exc_info into fixtures/tests causing failures in 3rd party code - fix issue615: assertion re-writing did not correctly escape % signs when formatting boolean operations, which tripped over mixing booleans with modulo operators. Thanks to Tom Viner for the report, triaging and fix. - implement issue351: add ability to specify parametrize ids as a callable to generate custom test ids. Thanks Brianna Laugher for the idea and implementation. - introduce and document new hookwrapper mechanism useful for plugins which want to wrap the execution of certain hooks for their purposes. This supersedes the undocumented ``__multicall__`` protocol which pytest itself and some external plugins use. Note that pytest-2.8 is scheduled to drop supporting the old ``__multicall__`` and only support the hookwrapper protocol. - majorly speed up invocation of plugin hooks - use hookwrapper mechanism in builtin pytest plugins. - add a doctest ini option for doctest flags, thanks Holger Peters. - add note to docs that if you want to mark a parameter and the parameter is a callable, you also need to pass in a reason to disambiguate it from the "decorator" case. Thanks Tom Viner. - "python_classes" and "python_functions" options now support glob-patterns for test discovery, as discussed in issue600. Thanks Ldiary Translations. - allow to override parametrized fixtures with non-parametrized ones and vice versa (bubenkoff). - fix issue463: raise specific error for 'parameterize' misspelling (pfctdayelise). - On failure, the ``sys.last_value``, ``sys.last_type`` and ``sys.last_traceback`` are set, so that a user can inspect the error via postmortem debugging (almarklein). -- about me: http://holgerkrekel.net/about-me/ contracting: http://merlinux.eu
