EuroPython 2015 Keynote: Mandy Waite
by M.-A. Lemburg July 9, 2015

July 9, 2015

We are pleased to introduce our final keynote speaker for EuroPython 2015: Mandy Waite. She will be giving her keynote on Friday, July 24. About Mandy Waite ----------------- Mandy works at Google as a Developer Advocate for Google Cloud Platform and to make the world a better place for developers building applications for the Cloud: “I came to Google from Sun Microsystems where I worked with partners on performance and optimisation of large scale applications and services before moving on to building an ecosystem of Open Source applications for OpenSolaris. In my spare time I’m learning Japanese and play the guitar.” The Keynote: So, I have all these Docker containers, now what? -------------------------------------------------------------- You’ve solved the issue of process-level reproducibility by packaging up your apps and execution environments into a number of Docker containers. But once you have a lot of containers running, you’ll probably need to coordinate them across a cluster of machines while keeping them healthy and making sure they can find each other. Trying to do this imperatively can quickly turn into an unmanageable mess! Wouldn’t it be helpful if you could declare to your cluster what you want it to do, and then have the cluster assign the resources to get it done and to recover from failures and scale on demand? Kubernetes (http://kubernetes.io) is an open source, cross platform cluster management and container orchestration platform that simplifies the complex tasks of deploying and managing your applications in Docker containers. You declare a desired state, and Kubernetes does all the work needed to create and maintain it. In this talk, we’ll look at the basics of Kubernetes and at how to map common applications to these concepts. This will include a hands-on demonstration and visualization of the steps involved in getting an application up and running on Kubernetes. Enjoy, -- EuroPython 2015 Team http://ep2015.europython.eu/ http://www.europython-society.org/

devpi-{server-2.2.2,web-2.4.0,client-2.3.0} releases
by holger krekel July 9, 2015

July 9, 2015

We just released devpi-server-2.2.2, devpi-web-2.4.0 and devpi-client-2.3.0, core parts of the private pypi package management and testing system. Among the highlights are support for distributed testing with "devpi test --detox", new status pages at "/+status" for replica and master sites and support for configuring upload formats when running "devpi upload". None of the changes require an export/import cycle on the server side if you used devpi-server-2.2.X before. However, please read the respective changelog entries below for some notes and potentially backward-incompatible changes. See the home page for docs and tutorials: http://doc.devpi.net have fun, Holger Krekel and Florian Schulze contracting: http://merlinux.eu server-2.2.2 ------------ - make replica thread more robust by catching more exceptions - Remove duplicates in plugin version info - track timestamps for event processing and replication and expose in /+status - implement devpiweb_get_status_info hook for devpi-web >= 2.4.0 status messages - UPGRADE NOTE: if devpi-web is installed, you have to request ``application/json`` for ``/+status``, or you might get a html page. - address issue246: refuse uploading release files if they do not contain the version that was transferred with the metadata of the upload request. - fix issue248: prevent change of index type after creation web-2.4.0 --------- - macros.pt: Add autofocus attribute to search field - macros.pt and style.css: Moved "How to search?" to the right of the search button and adjusted width of search field accordingly. - fix issue244: server status info - added support for status message plugin hook ``devpiweb_get_status_info`` - macros.pt: added macros ``status`` and ``statusbadge`` and placed them below the search field. - added status.pt: shows server status information - toxresults.pt: fix missing closing ``div`` tag. client-2.3.0 ------------ - fix issue247: possible password leakage to log in devpi-client - new experimental "-d|--detox" option to run tests via the "detox" distributed testing tool instead of "tox" which runs test environments one by one. - address issue246: make sure we use vcs-export also for building docs (and respect --no-vcs for all building activity) - address issue246: copy VCS repo dir to temporary upload dir to help with setuptools_scm. Warn if VCS other than hg/git are used because we don't copy the repo in that case for now and thus cause incompatibility with setuptools_scm. - (new,experimental) read a "[devpi:upload]" section from a setup.cfg file with a "formats" setting that will be taken if no "--formats" option is specified to "devpi upload". This allows to specify the default artefacts that should be created along with a project's setup.cfg file. Also you can use a ``no-vcs = True`` setting to induce the ``--no-vcs`` option.

ANN: distlib 0.2.1 released on PyPI
by Vinay Sajip July 7, 2015

July 7, 2015

I've just released version 0.2.1 of distlib on PyPI [1]. For newcomers, distlib is a library of packaging functionality which is intended to be usable as the basis for third-party packaging tools. The main changes in this release are as follows: Fixed issue #58: Return a Distribution instance or None from locate(). Fixed issue #59: Skipped special keys when looking for versions. Improved behaviour of PyPIJSONLocator to be analogous to that of other locators. Added resource iterator functionality. Fixed issue #71: Updated launchers to decode shebangs using UTF-8. This allows non-ASCII pathnames to be correctly handled. Ensured that the executable written to shebangs is normcased. Changed ScriptMaker to work better under Jython. Changed the mode setting method to work better under Jython. Changed get_executable() to return a normcased value. Handled multiple-architecture wheel filenames correctly. A more detailed change log is available at [2]. Please try it out, and if you find any problems or have any suggestions for improvements, please give some feedback using the issue tracker! [3] Regards, Vinay Sajip [1] https://pypi.python.org/pypi/distlib/0.2.1 [2] https://goo.gl/K5Spsp [3] https://bitbucket.org/pypa/distlib/issues/new

[RELEASED] Python 3.5.0b3 is now available
by Larry Hastings July 5, 2015

July 5, 2015

On behalf of the Python development community and the Python 3.5 release team, I'm relieved to announce the availability of Python 3.5.0b3. Python 3.5 has now entered "feature freeze". By default new features may no longer be added to Python 3.5. This is a preview release, and its use is not recommended for production settings. An important reminder for Windows users about Python 3.5.0b3: if installing Python 3.5.0b2 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 3.5.0b2 here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-350b3/ Happy hacking, //arry/

[ANN] pyskiplist-1.0.0
by Geert Jansen July 4, 2015

July 4, 2015

PySkipList is a fast, pure Python implementation of an indexable skiplist. It implements a SkipList data structure that provides an always sorted, list-like data structure for (key, value) pairs. It efficiently supports the following operations: * Insert a pair in the list, maintaining sorted order. * Find the value of a given key. * Remove a given pair based on a key. * Iterate over all pairs in sorted order. * Find the position of a given key. * Access a pair at a certain position. * Delete a pair at a certain position. This implementation uses a novel (as far as I know) technique where it stores just a single link width per node, and only in nodes with level > 0. The link corresponds to the number of nodes skipped by the highest incoming link. Other implementations that I've seen all store a width for every link. This approach saves a lot of memory. The overhead should just be 1/e (0.37) integers per node. It makes an indexable skiplist almost as memory efficient as its non-indexable cousin. Performance wise, it does around 77K searches per second on 100K nodes, and has an overhead at this node count of about 106 bytes per node. Available on PyPI as "pyskiplist" and Github at: https://github.com/geertj/pyskiplist Regards, Geert
