ANN: eGenix PyRun - One file Python Runtime 2.2.1

________________________________________________________________________ ANNOUNCING eGenix PyRun - One file Python Runtime Version 2.2.1 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, 3.4 and * now also for Python 3.5 * This announcement is also available on our web-site for online reading: http://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-PyRun-2.2.1-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 minor level release of eGenix PyRun comes with the following enhancements: Enhancements / Changes ---------------------- * Fixed support for -u command line option with Python 3. Since this is used by pip since version 8.0, it also removes issues with pip. * Removed ensurepip package from PyRun since this only works with access to the bundled whl files. This is incompatible with the frozen nature of packages in PyRun. * Added support for setting the OpenSSL path to the Makefile and have it look in /usr/local/ssl before reverting to system dirs to make it easier to link against more recent builds of OpenSSL. * Linking against OpenSSL 1.0.2 now on Mac OS X for the precompiled pyrun binaries. You may have to set your shared linker path to point to the right OpenSSL version. 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: * Fixed install-pyrun to work with new PyPI package URL scheme (see https://bitbucket.org/pypa/pypi/issues/438/backwards-compatible-un-hashed-p…). The options --pip-version=latest et al. should now work again. * Updated install-pyrun to default to eGenix PyRun 2.2.1 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.

We are happy to announce that we’ve opened our second Call for Proposals. This call is limited to hot topics and most recent developments in software and technology and will run until June 12. *** Proposal Submission Page *** https://ep2016.europython.eu/en/speakers/hot-topics-cfp/ Why is there a second call ? ---------------------------- Planning a big conference is a challenge: On one hand people like to know what will be on our talk schedule to make up their mind and make travel arrangements early. On the other hand technology is progressing at enormous speed these days. So we have given this some thought and decided to split the Call for Proposals in two phases, with the second just weeks before the conference. Submit your hot topic talk -------------------------- This CFP is reserved for: * hot topics * emerging technologies * brand new developments in software & hardware * recent results in research and science Some suggestions for topics: * Exciting new hardware & Internet of Things * Robotics * Virtual Reality * AI & Deep Learning The second call will be open for nine days only: Saturday June 4th 0:00 to Sunday June 12th 24:00 CEST. The program work group will then select the most exciting and intriguing submissions and will notify the winners on short notice. Submit your poster or run a help desk ------------------------------------- Since we still have a few slots left, we are also looking for more posters and help desks - these are not limited to hot topics. Get a ticket discount --------------------- For talks, posters, help desks we will give out a 25% discount coupon valid for one conference ticket.

Priests of Lore 0.2.30
by erana 04 Jun '16

04 Jun '16

Hi, I am working on a RTS in pygame/python (real time strategy game). You have mana and credit engines, I need to make something which you can buy or have effects with those. There's a white pegasus and purple archer friendly unit to start with, these already move somewhat and as an initial building I chose a tavern. You can click on buildings and friendly troops to change its action menu on the right. The only thing which remains to do is the AI and missions. The code is available at http://erana.yellowcouch.org/python/ <-- See the Priests of Lore entry. There are 2 screenshots on that page, it's aboud 2500 lines now. Kind regards, erana -- My software blog : http://thediaryofelvishhealer.blogger.com Time heals.

EuroPython 2016 Keynote: Gaël Varoquaux
by M.-A. Lemburg 03 Jun '16

03 Jun '16

We are pleased to announce our final keynote speaker for EuroPython 2016: *** Gaël Varoquaux *** About Gaël Varoquaux -------------------- Gaël Varoquaux is an INRIA faculty researcher working on data science for brain imaging in the Neurospin brain research institute (Paris, France). His research focuses on modeling and mining brain activity in relation to cognition. Years before the NSA, he was hoping to make bleeding-edge data processing available across new fields, and he has been working on a mastermind plan building easy-to-use open-source software in Python. He is a core developer of scikit-learn, joblib, Mayavi and nilearn, a nominated member of the PSF, and often teaches scientific computing with Python using the scipy lecture notes. The Keynote: Scientist meets web dev: how Python became the language of data --------------------------------------------------------------- Python started as a scripting language, but now it is the new trend everywhere and in particular for data science, the latest rage of computing. It didn’t get there by chance: tools and concepts built by nerdy scientists and geek sysadmins provide foundations for what is said to be the sexiest job: data scientist. "In my talk I’ll give a personal perspective, historical and technical, on the progress of the scientific Python ecosystem, from numerical physics to data mining. I will discuss low-level technical aspects, such as how the Python world makes it easy to move large chunks of number across code, touch upon current exciting developments in scikit-learn and joblib, but also talk about softer topics, such as project dynamics or documentation, as software’s success is determined by people." With gravitational regards, -- EuroPython 2016 Team http://ep2016.europython.eu/ http://www.europython-society.org/ PS: Please forward or retweet to help us reach all interested parties: https://twitter.com/europython/status/738669507724595200 Thanks.
