PyCA cryptography 1.8 (and 1.8.1) released
by Paul Kehrer 10 Mar '17

10 Mar '17

PyCA cryptography 1.8 (and 1.8.1) 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: 1.8.1 * Fixed macOS wheels to properly link against 1.1.0 rather than 1.0.2. 1.8 * Added support for Python 3.6. * Windows and macOS wheels now link against OpenSSL 1.1.0. * macOS wheels are no longer universal. This change significantly shrinks the size of the wheels. Users on macOS 32-bit Python (if there are any) should migrate to 64-bit or build their own packages. * Changed ASN.1 dependency from pyasn1 to asn1crypto resulting in a general performance increase when encoding/decoding ASN.1 structures. Also, the ``pyasn1_modules`` test dependency is no longer required. * Added support for update_into on CipherContext. * Added DHPrivateKeyWithSerialization.private_bytes. * Added DHPublicKeyWithSerialization.public_bytes * load_pem_private_key and load_der_private_key now require that ``password`` must be bytes if provided. Previously this was documented but not enforced. * Added support for subgroup order in Diffie-Hellman key exchange. Thanks to all the contributors on this release! -Paul Kehrer (reaperhulk)

Thanks to everyone who contributed! This release requires Python 2.7 or 3.4-3.6 and NumPy 1.8.2 or greater. Source tarballs and release notes can be found at https://github.com/scipy/scipy/releases/tag/v0.19.0. OS X and Linux wheels are available from PyPI. For security-conscious, the wheels themselves are signed with my GPG key. Additionally, you can checksum the wheels and verify the checksums with those listed below or in the README file at https://github.com/scipy/scipy/releases/tag/v0.19.0. Cheers, Evgeni -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 ========================== SciPy 0.19.0 Release Notes ========================== .. contents:: SciPy 0.19.0 is the culmination of 7 months of hard work. It contains many new features, numerous bug-fixes, improved test coverage and better documentation. There have been a number of deprecations and API changes in this release, which are documented below. All users are encouraged to upgrade to this release, as there are a large number of bug-fixes and optimizations. Moreover, our development attention will now shift to bug-fix releases on the 0.19.x branch, and on adding new features on the master branch. This release requires Python 2.7 or 3.4-3.6 and NumPy 1.8.2 or greater. Highlights of this release include: - - A unified foreign function interface layer, `scipy.LowLevelCallable`. - - Cython API for scalar, typed versions of the universal functions from the `scipy.special` module, via `cimport scipy.special.cython_special`. New features ============ Foreign function interface improvements - --------------------------------------- `scipy.LowLevelCallable` provides a new unified interface for wrapping low-level compiled callback functions in the Python space. It supports Cython imported "api" functions, ctypes function pointers, CFFI function pointers, ``PyCapsules``, Numba jitted functions and more. See `gh-6509 <https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/6509>`_ for details. `scipy.linalg` improvements - --------------------------- The function `scipy.linalg.solve` obtained two more keywords ``assume_a`` and ``transposed``. The underlying LAPACK routines are replaced with "expert" versions and now can also be used to solve symmetric, hermitian and positive definite coefficient matrices. Moreover, ill-conditioned matrices now cause a warning to be emitted with the estimated condition number information. Old ``sym_pos`` keyword is kept for backwards compatibility reasons however it is identical to using ``assume_a='pos'``. Moreover, the ``debug`` keyword, which had no function but only printing the ``overwrite_<a, b>`` values, is deprecated. The function `scipy.linalg.matrix_balance` was added to perform the so-called matrix balancing using the LAPACK xGEBAL routine family. This can be used to approximately equate the row and column norms through diagonal similarity transformations. The functions `scipy.linalg.solve_continuous_are` and `scipy.linalg.solve_discrete_are` have numerically more stable algorithms. These functions can also solve generalized algebraic matrix Riccati equations. Moreover, both gained a ``balanced`` keyword to turn balancing on and off. `scipy.spatial` improvements - ---------------------------- `scipy.spatial.SphericalVoronoi.sort_vertices_of_regions` has been re-written in Cython to improve performance. `scipy.spatial.SphericalVoronoi` can handle > 200 k points (at least 10 million) and has improved performance. The function `scipy.spatial.distance.directed_hausdorff` was added to calculate the directed Hausdorff distance. ``count_neighbors`` method of `scipy.spatial.cKDTree` gained an ability to perform weighted pair counting via the new keywords ``weights`` and ``cumulative``. See `gh-5647 <https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/5647>`_ for details. `scipy.spatial.distance.pdist` and `scipy.spatial.distance.cdist` now support non-double custom metrics. `scipy.ndimage` improvements - ---------------------------- The callback function C API supports PyCapsules in Python 2.7 Multidimensional filters now allow having different extrapolation modes for different axes. `scipy.optimize` improvements - ----------------------------- The `scipy.optimize.basinhopping` global minimizer obtained a new keyword, `seed`, which can be used to seed the random number generator and obtain repeatable minimizations. The keyword `sigma` in `scipy.optimize.curve_fit` was overloaded to also accept the covariance matrix of errors in the data. `scipy.signal` improvements - --------------------------- The function `scipy.signal.correlate` and `scipy.signal.convolve` have a new optional parameter `method`. The default value of `auto` estimates the fastest of two computation methods, the direct approach and the Fourier transform approach. A new function has been added to choose the convolution/correlation method, `scipy.signal.choose_conv_method` which may be appropriate if convolutions or correlations are performed on many arrays of the same size. New functions have been added to calculate complex short time fourier transforms of an input signal, and to invert the transform to recover the original signal: `scipy.signal.stft` and `scipy.signal.istft`. This implementation also fixes the previously incorrect ouput of `scipy.signal.spectrogram` when complex output data were requested. The function `scipy.signal.sosfreqz` was added to compute the frequency response from second-order sections. The function `scipy.signal.unit_impulse` was added to conveniently generate an impulse function. The function `scipy.signal.iirnotch` was added to design second-order IIR notch filters that can be used to remove a frequency component from a signal. The dual function `scipy.signal.iirpeak` was added to compute the coefficients of a second-order IIR peak (resonant) filter. The function `scipy.signal.minimum_phase` was added to convert linear-phase FIR filters to minimum phase. The functions `scipy.signal.upfirdn` and `scipy.signal.resample_poly` are now substantially faster when operating on some n-dimensional arrays when n > 1. The largest reduction in computation time is realized in cases where the size of the array is small (<1k samples or so) along the axis to be filtered. `scipy.fftpack` improvements - ---------------------------- Fast Fourier transform routines now accept `np.float16` inputs and upcast them to `np.float32`. Previously, they would raise an error. `scipy.cluster` improvements - ---------------------------- Methods ``"centroid"`` and ``"median"`` of `scipy.cluster.hierarchy.linkage` have been significantly sped up. Long-standing issues with using ``linkage`` on large input data (over 16 GB) have been resolved. `scipy.sparse` improvements - --------------------------- The functions `scipy.sparse.save_npz` and `scipy.sparse.load_npz` were added, providing simple serialization for some sparse formats. The `prune` method of classes `bsr_matrix`, `csc_matrix`, and `csr_matrix` was updated to reallocate backing arrays under certain conditions, reducing memory usage. The methods `argmin` and `argmax` were added to classes `coo_matrix`, `csc_matrix`, `csr_matrix`, and `bsr_matrix`. New function `scipy.sparse.csgraph.structural_rank` computes the structural rank of a graph with a given sparsity pattern. New function `scipy.sparse.linalg.spsolve_triangular` solves a sparse linear system with a triangular left hand side matrix. `scipy.special` improvements - ---------------------------- Scalar, typed versions of universal functions from `scipy.special` are available in the Cython space via ``cimport`` from the new module `scipy.special.cython_special`. These scalar functions can be expected to be significantly faster then the universal functions for scalar arguments. See the `scipy.special` tutorial for details. Better control over special-function errors is offered by the functions `scipy.special.geterr` and `scipy.special.seterr` and the context manager `scipy.special.errstate`. The names of orthogonal polynomial root functions have been changed to be consistent with other functions relating to orthogonal polynomials. For example, `scipy.special.j_roots` has been renamed `scipy.special.roots_jacobi` for consistency with the related functions `scipy.special.jacobi` and `scipy.special.eval_jacobi`. To preserve back-compatibility the old names have been left as aliases. Wright Omega function is implemented as `scipy.special.wrightomega`. `scipy.stats` improvements - -------------------------- The function `scipy.stats.weightedtau` was added. It provides a weighted version of Kendall's tau. New class `scipy.stats.multinomial` implements the multinomial distribution. New class `scipy.stats.rv_histogram` constructs a continuous univariate distribution with a piecewise linear CDF from a binned data sample. New class `scipy.stats.argus` implements the Argus distribution. `scipy.interpolate` improvements - -------------------------------- New class `scipy.interpolate.BSpline` represents splines. ``BSpline`` objects contain knots and coefficients and can evaluate the spline. The format is consistent with FITPACK, so that one can do, for example:: >>> t, c, k = splrep(x, y, s=0) >>> spl = BSpline(t, c, k) >>> np.allclose(spl(x), y) ``spl*`` functions, `scipy.interpolate.splev`, `scipy.interpolate.splint`, `scipy.interpolate.splder` and `scipy.interpolate.splantider`, accept both ``BSpline`` objects and ``(t, c, k)`` tuples for backwards compatibility. For multidimensional splines, ``c.ndim > 1``, ``BSpline`` objects are consistent with piecewise polynomials, `scipy.interpolate.PPoly`. This means that ``BSpline`` objects are not immediately consistent with `scipy.interpolate.splprep`, and one *cannot* do ``>>> BSpline(*splprep([x, y])[0])``. Consult the `scipy.interpolate` test suite for examples of the precise equivalence. In new code, prefer using ``scipy.interpolate.BSpline`` objects instead of manipulating ``(t, c, k)`` tuples directly. New function `scipy.interpolate.make_interp_spline` constructs an interpolating spline given data points and boundary conditions. New function `scipy.interpolate.make_lsq_spline` constructs a least-squares spline approximation given data points. `scipy.integrate` improvements - ------------------------------ Now `scipy.integrate.fixed_quad` supports vector-valued functions. Deprecated features =================== `scipy.interpolate.splmake`, `scipy.interpolate.spleval` and `scipy.interpolate.spline` are deprecated. The format used by `splmake/spleval` was inconsistent with `splrep/splev` which was confusing to users. `scipy.special.errprint` is deprecated. Improved functionality is available in `scipy.special.seterr`. calling `scipy.spatial.distance.pdist` or `scipy.spatial.distance.cdist` with arguments not needed by the chosen metric is deprecated. Also, metrics `"old_cosine"` and `"old_cos"` are deprecated. Backwards incompatible changes ============================== The deprecated ``scipy.weave`` submodule was removed. `scipy.spatial.distance.squareform` now returns arrays of the same dtype as the input, instead of always float64. `scipy.special.errprint` now returns a boolean. The function `scipy.signal.find_peaks_cwt` now returns an array instead of a list. `scipy.stats.kendalltau` now computes the correct p-value in case the input contains ties. The p-value is also identical to that computed by `scipy.stats.mstats.kendalltau` and by R. If the input does not contain ties there is no change w.r.t. the previous implementation. The function `scipy.linalg.block_diag` will not ignore zero-sized matrices anymore. Instead it will insert rows or columns of zeros of the appropriate size. See gh-4908 for more details. Other changes ============= SciPy wheels will now report their dependency on ``numpy`` on all platforms. This change was made because Numpy wheels are available, and because the pip upgrade behavior is finally changing for the better (use ``--upgrade-strategy=only-if-needed`` for ``pip >= 8.2``; that behavior will become the default in the next major version of ``pip``). Numerical values returned by `scipy.interpolate.interp1d` with ``kind="cubic"`` and ``"quadratic"`` may change relative to previous scipy versions. If your code depended on specific numeric values (i.e., on implementation details of the interpolators), you may want to double-check your results.

Despite its European nature and all the different languages spoken on every street corner, Brussels still has a very "village-like" character. It's well known for its Grand-Place, its Atomium, its Manneken-Pis, its Gueuze and its Kriek, its waffles and its chocolates. Be sure to take some time off to soak up the special atmosphere of its many different districts: Take a stroll to Rue Dansaert, Halles Saint-Géry, and Place Sainte-Catherine. Head for Saint-Boniface, Châtelain, or Flagey. In other words, go ahead and relish Brussels, a fine and beautiful city to explore and discover. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information, please visit http://2017.programming-conference.org You can also find us on Twitter (twitter.com/programmingconf) and Facebook (facebook.com/programmingconf) Looking forward to see you in Brussels, Theo D'Hondt (General chair), Wolfgang De Meuter (Organizing chair), Crista Lopes (Program chair), Jörg Kienzle, Ralf Lämmel, Hidehiko Masuhara, Tim Molderez, Tobias Pape, and Jennifer Sartor

Vulture 0.13
by Jendrik Seipp 07 Mar '17

07 Mar '17

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 helpful tool for higher code quality. Download ======== https://github.com/jendrikseipp/vulture http://pypi.python.org/pypi/vulture Features ======== * fast: static code analysis * lightweight: only one module * tested: tests itself and has complete test coverage * complements pyflakes and has the same output syntax * supports Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.x News ==== * Ignore star-imported names since we cannot detect whether they are used. * Move repository to GitHub. Cheers, Jendrik

PyCon ZA 2017 - Call for Speakers
by Neil Muller 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

PyCon ZA 2017 will take place 5th & 6th October at The River Club, in Observatory, Cape Town, South Africa. There will also be tutorial sessions the day before the conference (the 4th) and we will hold sprints on the 8th & 9th of October. We are currently accepting proposals for talks. If you would like to give a presentation, please register at https://za.pycon.org/ and submit your proposal, following the instructions at https://za.pycon.org/talks/submit-talk . We hope to notify accepted presenters by no later than the 8th of September 2017. The presentation slots will be 30 minutes long, with an additional 10 minutes for discussion at the end. Shared sessions are also possible. The presentations will be in English. PyCon ZA offers a mentorship program for inexperienced speakers. If you would like assistance preparing your submission, email team(a)za.pycon.org with a rough draft of your talk proposal and we'll find a suitable experienced speaker to act as a mentor. In addition to talks, we are also looking for proposals for tutorials, demos, sprints and open spaces. Tutorials will be held before the conference, and are expected to provided in-depth coverage of a topic. The number of attendees will be also be limited. We are accepting proposals for either half-day (4 hours) or full-day (8 hours) tutorials . Demos are cool things for attendees to see and interact with. Open spaces are open discussion forums where communities with a common interest gather to present views, ask questions and meet people interested in the topic. Sprints are coding efforts and hack days that happen after the conference. There's no need to register a sprint or open space topic upfront, but doing so allows us to advertise them during the conference. -- Neil Muller On behalf of the PyCon ZA organising committee

[RELEASE] Python 3.6.1rc1 is now available
by Ned Deily 05 Mar '17

05 Mar '17

On behalf of the Python development community and the Python 3.6 release team, I would like to announce the availability of Python 3.6.1rc1. 3.6.1rc1 is the first release candidate for Python 3.6.1, the first maintenance release of Python 3.6. 3.6.0 was released on 2017-12-22 to great interest and now, three months later, we are providing the first set of bugfixes and documentation updates for it. While 3.6.1rc1 is a preview release and, thus, not intended for production environments, we encourage you to explore it and provide feedback via the Python bug tracker (https://bugs.python.org). Although it should be transparent to users of Python, 3.6.1 is the first release after some major changes to our development process so we ask users who build Python from source to be on the lookout for any unexpected differences. 3.6.1 is planned for final release on 2017-03-20 with the next maintenance release expected to follow in about 3 months. Please see "What’s New In Python 3.6" for more information: https://docs.python.org/3.6/whatsnew/3.6.html You can find Python 3.6.1rc1 here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-361rc1/ More information about the 3.6 release schedule can be found here: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0494/ -- Ned Deily nad(a)python.org -- []
