[ANN] 10ᵀᴴ Advanced Scientific Programming in Python in Nikiti, Greece, August 28—September 2, 2017
by Tiziano Zito 28 Apr '17

28 Apr '17

10ᵀᴴ Advanced Scientific Programming in Python ============================================== a Summer School by the G-Node and the Municipality of Sithonia Scientists spend more and more time writing, maintaining, and debugging software. While techniques for doing this efficiently have evolved, only few scientists have been trained to use them. As a result, instead of doing their research, they spend far too much time writing deficient code and reinventing the wheel. In this course we will present a selection of advanced programming techniques and best practices which are standard in the industry, but especially tailored to the needs of a programming scientist. Lectures are devised to be interactive and to give the students enough time to acquire direct hands-on experience with the materials. Students will work in pairs throughout the school and will team up to practice the newly learned skills in a real programming project — an entertaining computer game. We use the Python programming language for the entire course. Python works as a simple programming language for beginners, but more importantly, it also works great in scientific simulations and data analysis. We show how clean language design, ease of extensibility, and the great wealth of open source libraries for scientific computing and data visualization are driving Python to become a standard tool for the programming scientist. This school is targeted at Master or PhD students and Post-docs from all areas of science. Competence in Python or in another language such as Java, C/C++, MATLAB, or Mathematica is absolutely required. Basic knowledge of Python and of a version control system such as git, subversion, mercurial, or bazaar is assumed. Participants without any prior experience with Python and/or git should work through the proposed introductory material before the course. We are striving hard to get a pool of students which is international and gender-balanced. You can apply online: https://python.g-node.org Application deadline: 23:59 UTC, May 31, 2017. There will be no deadline extension, so be sure to apply on time ;-) Be sure to read the FAQ before applying. Participation is for free, i.e. no fee is charged! Participants however should take care of travel, living, and accommodation expenses by themselves. Date & Location =============== August 28—September 2, 2017. Nikiti, Sithonia, Halkidiki, Greece Program ======= → Best Programming Practices • Best practices for scientific programming • Version control with git and how to contribute to open source projects with GitHub • Best practices in data visualization → Software Carpentry • Test-driven development • Debugging with a debuggger • Profiling code → Scientific Tools for Python • Advanced NumPy → Advanced Python • Decorators • Context managers • Generators → The Quest for Speed • Writing parallel applications • Interfacing to C with Cython • Memory-bound problems and memory profiling • Data containers: storage and fast access to large data → Practical Software Development • Group project Preliminary Faculty =================== • Francesc Alted, freelance consultant, author of Blosc, Castelló de la Plana, Spain • Pietro Berkes, NAGRA Kudelski, Lausanne, Switzerland • Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek, Krasnow Institute, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA USA • Eilif Muller, Blue Brain Project, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne Switzerland • Juan Nunez-Iglesias, Victorian Life Sciences Computation Initiative, University of Melbourne, Australia • Rike-Benjamin Schuppner, Institute for Theoretical Biology, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany • Nicolas P.

structlog 17.1.0
by Hynek Schlawack 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

Hi everyone, I’m happy to announce structlog 17.1.0 has been released to PyPI: <https://pypi.org/project/structlog/> The main features of this release are massive improvements in standard library's logging integration. Have a look at the updated standard library chapter on how to use them! Special thanks go to Fabian Büchler, Gilbert Gilb's, Iva Kaneva, insolite, and sky-code, that made them possible. Check out the full changelog at <https://structlog.readthedocs.io/en/17.1.0/changelog.html> *** If you haven’t heard of structlog: it makes logging in Python less painful and more powerful by adding structure to your log entries. It’s up to you whether you want structlog to take care about the output of your log entries or whether you prefer to forward them to an existing logging system like the standard library’s logging module. No monkey patching involved in either case. Got to <http://www.structlog.org/> to read more!

cx_Oracle 6.0b1
by Anthony Tuininga 19 Apr '17

19 Apr '17

What is cx_Oracle? cx_Oracle is a Python extension module that enables access to Oracle Database for Python 2.x and 3.x and conforms to the Python database API 2.0 specifications with a number of enhancements. Where do I get it? https://oracle.github.io/python-cx_Oracle The easiest method to install cx_Oracle 6.0b1 is via pip as in python -m pip install cx_Oracle --pre Note that the --pre option is required since this is a prerelease. What's new? By far the most important update is the transition to ODPI-C ( https://github.com/oracle/odpi) which means that cx_Oracle can now be built without Oracle Client header files or libraries and that at runtime cx_Oracle can adapt to Oracle Client 11.2, 12.1 or 12.2 libraries without needing to be rebuilt. This also permits the use of binary wheels for the first time which will make installation much simpler than before. The full release notes can be read here: http://cx-oracle.readthedocs.io/en/6.0b1/releasenotes.html#version-6-0-beta… Please provide any feedback via GitHub issues ( https://github.com/oracle/python-cx_Oracle/issues).

Crowdfunding campaign for new config system in qutebrowser
by Florian Bruhin 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

Hi, I'm the main developer of qutebrowser, a keyboard-focused vim-like web browser, built using PyQt: https://www.qutebrowser.org/ Like last year, I'd love to spend my summer holidays working full-time on qutebrowser again! This is why I started another crowdfunding - this time with the goal of ripping out some of its oldest code (the configuration) and replacing it with something much more sane - something which has been planned for a long time already. You can find more details here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/the-compiler/qutebrowser-v10-with-per-… Florian -- http://www.the-compiler.org | me(a)the-compiler.org (Mail/XMPP) GPG: 916E B0C8 FD55 A072 | http://the-compiler.org/pubkey.asc I love long mails! | http://email.is-not-s.ms/

wxPython 4.0.0a1
by Robin Dunn 18 Apr '17

18 Apr '17

Announcing wxPython 4.0.0a1 --------------------------- https://pypi.python.org/pypi/wxPython/4.0.0a1 I'm pleased to announce that wxPython's Project Phoenix has made it's public debut as wxPython 4.0.0a1, available from PyPI. Don't let the fact that it is marked as an "alpha" release scare you away. It is an alpha simply because this is the **first** in several ways: * It's the first real release of Phoenix, which is built on a different foundation than Classic wxPython was. * It's the first wxPython release intended to be fully available from PyPI and buildable/installable by pip on all of the supported platforms. * It's the first release for Python3 (binaries for 3.5 and 3.6 are provided, and building for 3.4 is still possible as well). In addition, Python 2.7 is also supported from the same codebase, with binaries available. * The wheel files are fully self-contained and relocatable on the supported platforms, so they are installable in virtual environments without needing to be able to find specific versions of the wxWidgets shared libraries (or others) at fixed locations elsewhere in the file-system. * And as with most alphas, there are still a few things that are not finished or polished yet. But even with all that, many people have been using the pre-release snapshots of Phoenix for quite a while now, and it has been relatively stable and solid for them. What is wxPython? ----------------- wxPython is a cross-platform GUI toolkit for the Python programming language. It allows Python programmers to create programs with a robust, highly functional graphical user interface, simply and easily. It is implemented as a set of Python extension modules that wrap the GUI components of the popular wxWidgets cross platform library, which is written in C++. Supported platforms are Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and macOS, and Linux or other unix-like systems with GTK2 or GTK3 libraries. In most cases the native widgets are used on each platform to provide a 100% native look and feel for the application. What is wxPython Phoenix? ------------------------- wxPython's Project Phoenix is a new from-the-ground-up implementation of wxPython, created with the intent of making wxPython “better, stronger, faster than he was before.” In other words, this new implementation is focused on improving speed, maintainability and extensibility of wxPython, as well as removing most of the cruft that had accumulated over the long life of Classic wxPython. The project has been in development off and on, mostly behind the scenes, for many years. For the past few years automated snapshot builds have been available for those adventurous enough to try it, and many people eventually started using the snapshots in their projects, even for production releases. While there are still some things on the periphery that need to be completed, the core of the new wxPython extension modules which wrap the wxWidgets code has been stable for a long time now. Due to some things being cleaned up, reorganized, simplified and dehackified wxPython Phoenix is not completely backwards compatible with wxPython Classic. This is intended. In general, however, the API differences tend to be minor and some applications can use Phoenix with slight, or even no modifications. In some other cases the correct way to do things was also available in Classic and it's only the wrong way that has been removed from Phoenix. For more information there is a Migration Guide document available at: https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/MigrationGuide.html The new wxPython API reference documentation, including all Python-specific additions and customizations, and docs for the wx.lib package, is located at: https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/main.html -- Robin Dunn Software Craftsman http://wxPython.org

ANN: Eliot 1.0, logging for distributed and complex systems
by Itamar Turner-Trauring 17 Apr '17

17 Apr '17

Do you need to understand a complex application? Most logging systems simply tell you some disjointed facts that you need to work hard to turn into a story. In contrast, Eliot provides structured, action-oriented logging: it tells you who did what and when, and whether it succeeded or failed. Eliot logs tell a story, of actions causing other actions. Release 1.0 is the result of over 3 years of development, and real-world usage of Eliot in many distributed applications. To learn more about Eliot I recommend reading the introduction: http://eliot.readthedocs.io/en/1.0.0/introduction.html -- Itamar Turner-Trauring

[ANN] txkube 0.1.0
by Jean-Paul Calderone 11 Apr '17

11 Apr '17

Hello all, I'm pleased to announce the first release of txkube, a Twisted-based library for interacting with Kubernetes using the HTTP API. This release supports several of the most commonly used basic Kubernetes objects, including Services, ConfigMaps, Deployments, ReplicaSets, and Pods. While Kubernetes has many, many more object kinds, this collection of kinds already supports a very useful set of interactions. Here is an example of txkube usage, taken from the README: from __future__ import print_function from twisted.internet.task import react from txkube import v1, network_kubernetes_from_context @react def main(reactor): k8s = network_kubernetes_from_context(reactor, u"minikube") client = k8s.client() d = client.list(v1.Namespace) d.addCallback(print) return d You can download txkube from PyPI <https://pypi.python.org/pypi>. You can contribute to its development on GitHub <https://github.com/LeastAuthority/txkube>. Thanks to Least Authority Enterprises <https://leastauthority.com/> for sponsoring this development.

Grako 3.20.0 released
by Juancarlo Añez 08 Apr '17

08 Apr '17

Added - Added grako.compile(grammar, name=None, **kwargs) as a substitute for grako.genmodel (which remains for backwards compatibility). - Added a grako.parse(grammar, input, **kwargs) that will compile a grammar and uset to parse the given input. For efficiency, parsed grammars are cached. - Added a grako.to_python_sourcecode(grammar, name=None, filename=None, **kwargs) that compiles the grammar to the Python sourcecode that implements the parser. - Rename the existing *join* (.{}) expression to *gather*, and use *join* for a new expression (%{}) that keeps the separator in the resulting AST. - Added left-join (<{}) and right-join (>{}) expressions to the grammar. Changed - Enable python setup.py test with pytest. - Remove the deprecated prefix= argument to ParseContext.closure(). - Document that *Grako* may be used as a library (with no code generation) by compiling grammars to Grammar objects that can be used to parse any given input, much like Python's re does with regular expressions. - Refactored grammar so double naming (name1:name2:exp) is disallowed. Grako 3.20.0 <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/grako/3.20.0> *Grako* (for *grammar compiler*) is a tool that takes grammars in a variation of EBNF as input, and outputs memoizing (Packrat) PEG parsers in Python. *Grako* can also compile a grammar stored in a string into a grako.grammars.Grammar object that can be used to parse any given input, much like the *re* module does with regular expressions. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/grako/3.20.0 https://bitbucket.org/neogeny/grako/ -- Juancarlo *Añez*

Call For Participation for the 2017 Python Language Summit
by Larry Hastings 07 Apr '17

07 Apr '17

The 2017 Python Language Summit is coming! The Python Language Summit is an annual day-long meeting of CPython core developers. It’s a highly technical meeting, designed to explore and resolve existing discussions regarding the Python programming language, the development of its reference implementation CPython, and the impact of the language’s evolution on the existing alternative implementations. It’s a once-a-year opportunity for Python’s core development team to get together in a room and work things out. The meeting is kept small on purpose, as we think that maximizes its productivity and effectiveness. Nearly all attendees are CPython core developers, but we do accept presentations from anyone in the greater Python community who has something interesting to say to the core developers. And that could be you! In order to be eligible, you must be able to attend the Summit in person. The Summit will be held May 17 2017, all day, in the same convention center where PyCon itself is held. You have to get there yourself; we literally have no discretionary budget to help people attend the Summit. However, you don’t have to buy a ticket to PyCon in order to attend the summit--it’s a completely separate event, and it’s free! But mere eligibility is not enough. The presentations are carefully hand-picked by the Language Summit organizers, and must be exceedingly relevant and of high quality in order to be considered. The Summit only comes once a year, and we the organizers want to keep it interesting and maximally productive for the developers who are kind enough to attend. To be brutally honest, we expect most proposals from non-core-developers will be turned down--again, sorry. PyCon is large, diverse, welcoming, and vibrant, and there are lots of great avenues (e.g. lightning talks, BoFs, open spaces, etc.) for discussing Python-related topics. If your proposed talk isn't accepted for the Language Summit, we highly encourage you to explore these other options. Here are the criteria you should keep in mind if you submit a presentation: * Is this a question about the *design* of Python? Or, to a lesser extent, the implementation of CPython or one of the alternative implementations? The Summit is about Python itself--we don’t discuss other projects. * Is this a *technical* debate? The Python universe is large and diverse, but the Summit is explicitly a highly technical meeting, and a deeper technical context on the part of participants is essential. * Is this topic going to spark conversation? A good rule of thumb: your presentation should raise questions, not provide answers. If your topic could be adequately covered in a blog post, it’s probably not interactive enough. * Is this already an ongoing discussion in the Python development community? As a rule the Language Summit is not a venue for new business--it’s for working through existing technical debates. * Is this topic going to be interesting to a lot of people? While it doesn’t have to be universally interesting, it can’t be too narrow either. As a rule, most people in the room should be interested. * Is this a topic that’s still considered "open" by the core developers? There’s no point in proposing a talk saying "you should abandon Python 3 and go back to 2", or even "you should make a Python 2.8". From the perspective of the core developers, these are resolved, closed issues. Examples of interesting topics: * Python’s new async syntax is flawed, here’s why * The design of CPython’s extension API makes it difficult to do what we want it to do * My patch for CPython makes it ten times faster for common workloads * I’m engaged in a lively and long-lived discussion on python-dev and I want to bring it up with the core devs in person, so that a resolution can be found Examples of irrelevant / uninteresting / ineligible topics: * A useful Python library you want people to know about * A new language feature you want to propose * There’s a bug in CPython you want to raise awareness about * The Python community needs to... The process for submitting a talk proposal is exactly the same as for core developers: fill out the Google form with your contact information, your affiliation, and a summary of your proposal. The form is reachable via the Language Summit page under the PyCon events menu: https://us.pycon.org/2017/events/language-summit/ Since this wider call for proposals comes so late in the process, we’re extending the deadline for submissions. The deadline is now Thursday, April 20th, 2017, two weeks from today. If your submission is accepted, we will notify you by May 1st. Finally, even if you don’t get to attend, stay tuned to Linux Weekly News (LWN) in the days and weeks following the Language Summit. Jake Edge from LWN has done a fantastic job of reporting on the Language Summit the previous two years, and is planning on attending and reporting on it again this year. We all look forward to his thorough reporting of the event! [BL]arry (Barry Warsaw and Larry Hastings)

Vulture 0.14
by Jendrik Seipp 06 Apr '17

06 Apr '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 ==== * Add stub whitelist file for Python standard library (thanks @RJ722) * Ignore class names starting with "Test" in "test\_" files (thanks @thisch). * Ignore "test\_" functions only in "test\_" files. Cheers, Jendrik

Hello all, I'm glad to announce the release of pyo 0.8.5, available for python 2.7 and 3.5. Pyo is a Python module written in C to help real-time digital signal processing script creation. It is available for Windows, macOS and linux. It is released under the LGPL 3 license. For more info, downloads and other links, see the official web site: http://ajaxsoundstudio.com/software/pyo/ The documentation: http://ajaxsoundstudio.com/pyodoc/ For the latest sources and bug tracker: https://github.com/belangeo/pyo What's new: - Added pa_get_default_devices_from_host(host) function. This function can greatly help finding the device indexes (especially on Windows) to give to the server in order to use to desired audio host. - Added a new winhost argument to the Server's initialization. On Windows, it defaults to WASAPI. - Check the jack api version before compiling to ensure existing functions are used (jack_port_set_name/jack_port_rename). - Added two examples in 07-effects, 01-flanger.py and 02-schroeder-reverb.py.
