Twisted 16.4.0 Release Announcement
by Amber "Hawkie" Brown 27 Aug '16

27 Aug '16

On behalf of Twisted Matrix Laboratories, I am honoured to announce the release of Twisted 16.4.0. The highlights of this release are: - twist, a new command line tool for running Twisted plugins, similar to twistd but with a simpler, cleaner interface. - A new interface for Protocols, IHandshakeListener, which tells Twisted to tell the Protocol when the TLS handshake has been completed. - async/await support for Deferreds, allowing you to write Python 3.5+ coroutines using Twisted - Trial can be invoked with "python -m twisted.trial". - All Twisted executables (trial, twistd, etc) are now Setuptools console scripts, meaning they will work much better on Windows. - 35+ more modules ported to Python 3, and many many cleanups on the way to Python 3 on Windows support. - All the security fixes of Twisted 16.3.1 + 16.3.2 (httpoxy, HTTP session identifier strengthening, HTTP+TLS consuming sockets) - 240+ closed tickets overall. For more information, check the NEWS file (link provided below). You can find the downloads at <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Twisted <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Twisted>> (or alternatively <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Downloads <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Downloads>>). The NEWS file is also available at <https://github.com/twisted/twisted/blob/twisted-16.4.0/NEWS <https://github.com/twisted/twisted/blob/twisted-16.4.0/NEWS>>. Many thanks to everyone who had a part in this release - the supporters of the Twisted Software Foundation, the developers who contributed code as well as documentation, and all the people building great things with Twisted! Twisted Regards, Amber Brown (HawkOwl) PS: Twisted 16.4.1 will be coming soon after this with a patch mitigating SWEET32, by updating the acceptable cipher list.

pyca/cryptography 1.5 released
by Paul Kehrer 26 Aug '16

26 Aug '16

PyCA cryptography 1.5 has been released to PyPI. cryptography is a package which provides cryptographic recipes and primitives to Python developers. Our goal is for it to be your "cryptographic standard library". We support Python 2.6-2.7, Python 3.3+, and PyPy. Changelog: * Added calculate_max_pss_salt_length for RSA PSS. * Added "one shot" DSAPrivateKey.sign andDSAPublicKey.verify methods to DSA keys. * Added "one shot" EllipticCurvePrivateKey.sign and EllipticCurvePublicKey.verify methods to ECDSA keys. * Switched back to the older callback model on Python 3.5 in order to mitigate a locking callback problem with OpenSSL <1.1.0. * x509.CertificateBuilder, x509.CertificateRevocationListBuilder, and x509.RevokedCertificateBuilder now accept timezone aware datetime objects as method arguments. * cryptography now supports OpenSSL 1.1.0 as a compilation target. As of 1.5 we are still linking 1.0.2h for the Mac and Windows wheels, but in the 1.6 release we will switch to linking 1.1.0. Thanks to all the contributors for their help on this release! -Paul Kehrer (reaperhulk)

world 4.0
by Barry Warsaw 24 Aug '16

24 Aug '16

world is a script that maps ISO 3166 top-level country codes to the English country names and back again. It also knows about a bunch of, but no where near complete, other top-level domains. For example: $ world tz us tz originates from Tanzania, United Republic of us originates from United States of America (the) $ world -r united Matches for "united": ae: United Arab Emirates (the) gb: United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the) tz: Tanzania, United Republic of uk: United Kingdom (common practice) um: United States Minor Outlying Islands (the) us: United States of America (the) It also provides the worldlib package, which is an API you can use in your own programs if you need this database. The library is only compatible with Python 3. Version 4.0 is a major new update to the tool, library, and database. It can be installed using `pip install world` of course. :) * PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/world * Project home: https://gitlab.com/warsaw/world * Report bugs at: https://gitlab.com/warsaw/world/issues * Code hosting: https://gitlab.com/warsaw/world.git * Documentation: http://world.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ Enjoy, -Barry

ANN: wxPython Cookbook
by Mike Driscoll 24 Aug '16

24 Aug '16

Hi, Several years ago, the readers of my popular Python blog <http://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/> asked me to take some of my articles and turn them into a cookbook on wxPython. I have finally decided to do just that. I am including over 50 recipes that I am currently editing to make them more consistent and updating them to be compatible with the latest versions of wxPython. I currently have nearly 300 pages of content! If you'd like to check out the funding campaign for the book, you can find it here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/34257246/wxpython-cookbook/ Thanks, Mike

rinohtype 0.2.1
by Brecht Machiels 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hello, I am pleased to announce rinohtype 0.2.1. rinohtype is a document processor inspired by LaTeX; it renders structured documents to PDF styled by a document template and a style sheet. A primary goal of rinohtype is to make it easy to customize the style of your document. The rinoh command line tool renders reStructuredText files and the included Sphinx builder obviates the need for a large LaTeX installation to produce professionally typeset PDF output. For the full list of features, please see the documentation: http://www.mos6581.org/rinohtype Because rinohtype is a pure-Python package, installation is trivial: pip install rinohtype Version 0.2.1 is a beta release and includes a mature reStructuredText frontend. The Sphinx builder is a capable drop-in replacement for the LaTeX builder included with Sphinx. Please report any problems you may encounter at the project's GitHub page: https://github.com/brechtm/rinohtype/issues Best regards, Brecht Machiels
