ANN: dedent 0.5 released
by Christian Tismer 29 Sep '16

29 Sep '16

Dedent 0.5 ========== What is it? ----------- Dedent is a very simple tool for those people who like to indent their inline code nicely. For those who got already what it is, stop reading. :-) All the others: What is it, really? ------------------- Ok, think of some inline Python code, something like $ python -c """some code""" For very simple scripts, there is nothing wrong with it. But for inline code over several lines, things become ugly: $ python -c """ "The problem is that you have to start your" "script very much on the left, although you" "would probably like to indent it somehow." One very ugly solution are constructs like """if True: "now I may indent the code" """ This becomes even more ugly if you have to use the __future__ statement, which always must come first! Now, here is what dedent does for you, simply that, not less and not more: $ python -m dedent """ from __future__ import print_function "now I can really indent my code, because" "the dedent module takes care of the indent," "and that was my intent. :-)" """ Installation ------------ $ pip install dedent That's all, folks! Have fun. p.s.: Why is that not build in by default? -- Christian Tismer :^) tismer(a)stackless.com Software Consulting : http://www.stackless.com/ Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 121 : https://github.com/PySide 14482 Potsdam : GPG key -> 0xFB7BEE0E phone +49 173 24 18 776 fax +49 (30) 700143-0023

ANN: asciimatics v1.7.0
by Peter Brittain 24 Sep '16

24 Sep '16

I am very pleased to announce asciimatics v1.7.0! This is a major update since the last announced version of the package. ## What is asciimatics? Asciimatics is a package to help people create full-screen text UIs (from interactive forms to complex text animations) on Linux, Windows and OSX. It supports python 2 & 3 and is licensed under the Apache Software Foundation License 2.0. ## What’s new? This release includes a `widgets` sub-package to create text User Interfaces, complete with the standard basic set of widgets you would expect for creating forms – e.g. text boxes, check boxes, buttons, etc. Despite its name, asciimatics now fully supports Unicode in utf-8 environments, allowing for non-ASCII input from the keyboard and output to the screen. This is extended to the widgets, so you can use them for languages other than English. A new Plasma renderer was added, continuing the theme of retro special effects. This one can be used to create lava-lamp style animated backgrounds. See the new plasma.py sample for an example of how to use it. A `highlight()` method was added to the Screen to allow you to colour wash parts of the screen as if you were using a highlighter pen. This can be used to highlight or lowlight parts of the screen. For an example, have a look at the shadows on a Frame in the forms.py sample. A complete suite of unit tests and CI builds have been created, to ensure that the code continues to run across all supported environments. Latest results are always available at the project home page. Various other minor enhancements and fixes have gone in. For a complete list have a look at the change log: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/peterbrittain/asciimatics/ master/CHANGES.rst ## Where can I find out more? https://github.com/peterbrittain/asciimatics

Changelog: * Updated Windows and OS X wheels to be compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.2i. * Resolved a UserWarning when used with cffi 1.8.3. * Fixed a memory leak in name creation with X.509. * Added a workaround for old versions of setuptools. * Fixed an issue preventing cryptography from compiling against OpenSSL 1.0.2i. With version 1.5.1 we are still linking 1.0.2 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)
