Vulture 0.9 released
by Jendrik Seipp 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

vulture - Find dead code ======================== Vulture finds unused classes, functions and variables in your code. This helps you cleanup and find errors in your programs. If you run it on both your library and test suite you can find untested code. Due to Python's dynamic nature, static code analyzers like vulture are likely to miss some dead code. Also, code that is only called implicitly may be reported as unused. Nonetheless, vulture can be a very helpful tool for higher code quality. Download ======== http://pypi.python.org/pypi/vulture Features ======== * fast: uses static code analysis * lightweight: only one module * tested: tests itself and has 100% test coverage * complements *pyflakes* and has the same output syntax * supports Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.x News ==== * Don't flag attributes as unused if they are used as global variables in another module (thanks Florian Bruhin). * Don't consider "True" and "False" variable names. * Abort with error message when invoked on .pyc files. Cheers, Jendrik

ANN: Bokeh 0.12 Released
by Bryan Van de Ven 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

Hi all, On behalf of the Bokeh team, I am pleased to announce the release of version 0.12.0 of Bokeh! This release was a major update, and was focused on areas of layout and styling, new JavaScript APIs for BokehJS, and improvements to the Bokeh Server. But there were many additional improvements in other areas as well. Rather than try to describe all the changes here, I encourage every one to check out the new project blog: https://bokeh.github.io/blog/2016/6/28/release-0-12/ which has details as well as live demonstrations. And as always, see the CHANGELOG and Release Notes for full details. If you are using Anaconda/miniconda, you can install it with conda: conda install bokeh Alternatively, you can also install it with pip: pip install bokeh Full information including details about how to use and obtain BokehJS are at: http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/0.12.0/docs/installation.html Issues, enhancement requests, and pull requests can be made on the Bokeh Github page: https://github.com/bokeh/bokeh Documentation is available at http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/0.12.0 Questions can be directed to the Bokeh mailing list: bokeh(a)continuum.io or the Gitter Chat room: https://gitter.im/bokeh/bokeh Thanks, Bryan Van de Ven Continuum Analytics

[RELEASE] Python 2.7.12
by Benjamin Peterson 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

It is my privilege to present you with another release in the Python 2.7 series, Python 2.7.12. Since the release candidate, there were two changes: - The Windows binaries have been changed to use OpenSSL 1.0.2h. - The "about" dialog in IDLE was fixed. Downloads, as always, are on python.org: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2712/ The complete 2.7.12 changelog is available at https://hg.python.org/cpython/raw-file/v2.7.12/Misc/NEWS Yet another Python 2.7.x release is anticipated near the end of the year. Numerologists may wish to upgrade to Python 3 before we hit the unlucky 2.7.13. Servus, Benjamin 2.7 release manager

Re: Python 3 tkinter graphical curve and surface fitter
by zunzun.com＠gmail.com 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

This is James Phillips, author of tkInterFit. I just realized I should post some context for this software. my background is in nuclear engineering and industrial radiation physics, as I started working in the U.S. Navy as a submarine nuclear reactor operator many, many neutrons ago. I have quite a bit of international experience calibrating industrial metal thickness and coating gauges. For example the thicker a piece of steel the more radiation it absorbs, and measuring the amount of radiation that passes through a sheet of steel can tell you how thick it is without touching it. Another example is that the thicker a zinc coating on steel sheets, the more zinc X-ray fluorescence energy it can emit - again allowing accurate thickness measurement for industrial manufacture. My post-Navy employer originally used ad-hoc spreadsheets to very tediously create 4th-order polynomials calibrating to readings from known samples. So I started writing my own curve-fitting software in C. When X-rays pass through aluminium, the atomic weight of the alloying elements is much greater than that of the aluminium itself such that small changes in alloy composition lead to large changes in X-ray transmission for the same thickness. Alloy changes look like thickness changes, egad! However, alloy changes also cause changes to the X-rays that are scattered back from the aluminium, so that if both the transmitted and backscattered radiation is measured a more alloy-insensitive measurement can be made - but this is now a 3D surface fit, and I started writing surface fitting software. I began to do considerable international work. This finally led to the development of my Python fitting libraries, and this example tkinter curve and surface fitter. I also have Python 2 and 3 wxPython and django versions on GitHub.

ANN: unicode 2.4

unicode is a simple python command line utility that displays properties for a given unicode character, or searches unicode database for a given name. It was written with Linux in mind, but should work almost everywhere (including MS Windows and MacOSX), UTF-8 console is recommended. Works in both python2 and python3. ˙pɹɐpuɐʇs əpoɔı̣uՈ əɥʇ ɟo əsn pəɔuɐʌpɐ puɐ səldı̣ɔuı̣ɹd əɥʇ ɓuı̣ʇɐɹʇsuoɯəp looʇ ɔı̣ʇɔɐpı̣p ʇuəlləɔxə uɐ sı̣ ʇI ˙sʇuı̣odəpoɔ ʇuəɹəɟɟı̣p ʎləʇəldɯoɔ ɓuı̣sn əlı̣ɥʍ 'sɥdʎlɓ ɟo ɯɐəɹʇs ɹɐlı̣ɯı̣s ʎllɐnsı̣ʌ oʇuı̣ ʇxəʇ əɥʇ ʇɹəʌuoɔ oʇ pɹɐpuɐʇs əpoɔı̣uՈ əɥʇ ɟo ɹəʍod llnɟ əɥʇ sʇı̣oldxə ʇɐɥʇ 'ʎʇı̣lı̣ʇn ,əpoɔɐɹɐd, oslɐ suı̣ɐʇuoɔ əɓɐʞɔɐd əɥ⊥ Changes since previous versions: * fix unihan properties listing * fix traceback when using python2 and new UnicodeData 9.0 URL: http://kassiopeia.juls.savba.sk/~garabik/software/unicode.html License: GPL v3 -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | Radovan Garabík http://kassiopeia.juls.savba.sk/~garabik/ | | __..--^^^--..__ garabik @ kassiopeia.juls.savba.sk | ----------------------------------------------------------- Antivirus alert: file .signature infected by signature virus.

[RELEASED] Python 3.4.5 and Python 3.5.2 are now available
by Larry Hastings 26 Jun '16

26 Jun '16

On behalf of the Python development community and the Python 3.4 and Python 3.5 release teams, I'm thrilled to announce the availability of Python 3.4.5 and Python 3.5.2. Python 3.4 is now in "security fixes only" mode. This is the final stage of support for Python 3.4. All changes made to Python 3.4 since Python 3.4.4 should be security fixes only; conventional bug fixes are not accepted. Also, Python 3.4.5 and all future releases of Python 3.4 will only be released as source code--no official binary installers will be produced. Python 3.5 is still in active "bug fix" mode. Python 3.5.2 contains many incremental improvements and bug fixes over Python 3.5.1. You can find Python 3.4.5 here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-345/ And you can find Python 3.5.2 here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-352/ Releasing software from 30,000 feet, //arry /p.s. There appears to be a small oops with the Windows installers for 3.5.2--uploaded to the wrong directory or something. They'll be available soon, honest!
