Azure SDK v2.0.0a1 released
by Laurent Mazuel Feb. 22, 2016

Feb. 22, 2016

I am glad to announce the release of the Azure SDK for Python v2.0.0a1. This package is available on the Python package index at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/azure This version introduces the new Python code generator from Swagger files. This includes new services (e.g. CDN, Logic/Web Apps, Scheduler, Redis Cache or Azure AD Graph RBAC) and improves existing services (Resource management with permissions/roles, network with Application Gateways or ExpressRoute). This is an alpha release. Future releases may introduce some breaking changes. Some of the new generated libraries have not yet been tested extensively, and some have known issues (such as azure-mgmt-web). Our goal is to release a stable version by the end of March 2016. Please send us your feedback! Full Release Notes: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/releases/tag/v2.0.0a1

ANN: eGenix PyRun - One file Python Runtime 2.1.2
by eGenix Team: M.-A. Lemburg Feb. 19, 2016

Feb. 19, 2016

________________________________________________________________________ ANNOUNCING eGenix PyRun - One file Python Runtime Version 2.1.2 An easy-to-use single file relocatable Python run-time - available for Linux, Mac OS X and Unix platforms, with support for Python 2.6, 2.7 and **also for Python 3.4**. This announcement is also available on our web-site for online reading: http://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-PyRun-2.1.2-GA.html ________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION eGenix PyRun is our open source, one file, no installation version of Python, making the distribution of a Python interpreter to run based scripts and applications to Unix based systems as simple as copying a single file. eGenix PyRun's executable only needs 11MB for Python 2 and 13MB for Python 3, but still supports most Python application and scripts - and it can be compressed to just 3-4MB using upx, if needed. Compared to a regular Python installation of typically 100MB on disk, eGenix PyRun is ideal for applications and scripts that need to be distributed to several target machines, client installations or customers. It makes "installing" Python on a Unix based system as simple as copying a single file. eGenix has been using eGenix PyRun internally in the mxODBC Connect Server product since 2008 with great success and decided to make it available as a stand-alone open-source product. We provide both the source archive to build your own eGenix PyRun, as well as pre-compiled binaries for Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X, as 32- and 64-bit versions. The binaries can be downloaded manually, or you can let our automatic install script install-pyrun take care of the installation: ./install-pyrun dir and you're done. Please see the product page for more details: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/PyRun/ ________________________________________________________________________ NEWS This patch level release of eGenix PyRun 2.1 comes with the following enhancements: Enhancements / Changes ---------------------- * Upgraded eGenix PyRun to work with and use Python 2.7.11 per default. Python 2.7.11 now uses computed gotos in the interpreter loop, adding some more performance. In addition, the vulnerable SSLv3 protocol was switched off in the defaults of the ssl module. * Upgraded eGenix PyRun to work with and use Python 3.4.4 for the Python 3 version. * Added an explicit --libpath configure setting to work a problem with some 64-bit platforms defaulting to lib64/. The new setting forces the libs to always go into a lib/ directory. install-pyrun Quick Install Enhancements --------------------------------------------- eGenix PyRun includes a shell script called install-pyrun, which greatly simplifies installation of PyRun. It works much like the virtualenv shell script used for creating new virtual environments (except that there's nothing virtual about PyRun environments). https://downloads.egenix.com/python/install-pyrun With the script, an eGenix PyRun installation is as simple as running: ./install-pyrun targetdir This will automatically detect the platform, download and install the right pyrun version into targetdir. We have updated this script since the last release: * Updated install-pyrun to default to eGenix PyRun 2.1.2 and its feature set. For a complete list of changes, please see the eGenix PyRun Changelog: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/PyRun/changelog.html ________________________________________________________________________ LICENSE eGenix PyRun is distributed under the eGenix.com Public License 1.1.0 which is an Open Source license similar to the Python license. You can use eGenix PyRun in both commercial and non-commercial settings without fee or charge. Please see our license page for more details: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/PyRun/license.html The package comes with full source code. ________________________________________________________________________ DOWNLOADS The download archives and instructions for installing eGenix PyRun can be found at: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/PyRun/ As always, we are providing pre-built binaries for all common platforms: Windows 32/64-bit, Linux 32/64-bit, FreeBSD 32/64-bit, Mac OS X 32/64-bit. Source code archives are available for installation on other platforms, such as Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, etc. _______________________________________________________________________ SUPPORT Commercial support for this product is available from eGenix.com. Please see http://www.egenix.com/services/support/ for details about our support offerings. ________________________________________________________________________ MORE INFORMATION For more information about eGenix PyRun, licensing and download instructions, please visit our web-site: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/PyRun/ About eGenix (http://www.egenix.com/): eGenix is a Python software project, consulting and product company delivering expert services and professional quality products for companies, Python users and developers.

[ANN] ftputil 3.3.1 released
by Stefan Schwarzer Feb. 18, 2016

Feb. 18, 2016

ftputil 3.3.1 is now available from http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/download . Changes since version 3.3 ------------------------- - Fixed a bug where a 226 reply after a remote file close would only show up later when doing a `pwd` call on the session. [1] This resulted in an `ftplib.error_reply` exception when opening a remote file. Note that ftputil 3.0 broke backward compatibility with ftputil 2.8 and before. The differences are described here: http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/trac/wiki/WhatsNewInFtputil3.0 What is ftputil? ---------------- ftputil is a high-level FTP client library for the Python programming language. ftputil implements a virtual file system for accessing FTP servers, that is, it can generate file-like objects for remote files. The library supports many functions similar to those in the os, os.path and shutil modules. ftputil has convenience functions for conditional uploads and downloads, and handles FTP clients and servers in different timezones. See the documentation for details: http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/trac/wiki/Documentation License ------- ftputil is open source software, released under the revised BSD license (see http://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause ).
