TatSu 4.1.0
by Juancarlo Añez May 21, 2017

May 21, 2017

TatSu v4.1.0 was released * https://pypi.org/project/tatsu/ * http://tatsu.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ * https://github.com/neogeny/TatSu TatSu (the successor to Grako) is a tool that takes grammars in a variation of EBNF as input, and outputs memoizing (Packrat) PEG parsers in Python. CHANGES * New support for *left recursion* with correct associativity. All test cases pass. * Left recursion is enabled by default. Use the``@@left_recursion :: False`` directive to diasable it. * Renamed the decorator for generated rule methods to ``@tatsumasu``. * Refactored the ``tatsu.contexts.ParseContext`` for clarity. * The ``@@ignorecase`` directive and the ``ignorecase=`` parameter no longer appy to regular expressions (patterns) in grammars. Use ``(?i)`` in the pattern to ignore the case in a particular pattern. * Now ``tatsu.g2e`` is a library and executable module for translating `ANTLR`_ grammars to **TatSu**. * Modernized the ``calc`` example and made it part of the documentation as *Mini Tutorial*. * Simplified the generated object models using the semantics of class attributes in Python. -- Juancarlo *Añez*

May 20, 2017

What is cx_Freeze? cx_Freeze is a set of scripts and modules for freezing Python scripts into executables, in much the same way that py2exe and py2app do. Unlike these two tools, cx_Freeze is cross platform and should work on any platform that Python itself works on. It supports Python 2.7 or higher, including Python 3. Where do I get it? https://anthony-tuininga.github.io/cx_Freeze What's new? http://cx-freeze.readthedocs.io/en/latest/releasenotes.html#version-5-0-2-m…

fades 6 released
by Facundo Batista May 19, 2017

May 19, 2017

Hello all, We're glad to announce the release of fades 6. fades is a system that automatically handles the virtualenvs in the cases normally found when writing scripts and simple programs, and even helps to administer big projects. It will automagically create a new virtualenv (or reuse a previous created one), installing the necessary dependencies, and execute your script inside that virtualenv. You only need to execute the script with fades (instead of Python) and also mark the required dependencies. More details here: http://fades.rtfd.org/ What's new in this release? - Install not only from PyPI but also from remote code repositories (GitHub, Bitbucket, Launchpad, etc) and local directories fades -d git+https://github.com/yandex/gixy.git@v0.1.3 fades -d file://$PATH_TO_PROJECT - Created a video to showcase the most relevant fades features https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCTd_TyCm98 - Select the best virtualenv from the stored ones in the case of multiple matching - Added a --clean-unused-venvs option to remove all virtualenvs not used in the last indicated days fades --clean-unused-venvs=30 - Added a --pip-options to pass any needed parameters to the underlying pip call fades -d requests --pip-options="--no-cache-dir" - Properly return a code != 0 if fades process failed in any way - Now the virtualenv /bin path is added to the child PATH before execution - Remove the just created virtualenv if its setup failed somehow (not leaving unused/untracked directories) - Issue a WARNING if fades is executed from a virtualenv (it shouldn't) - Better behaviour when CTRL-C is sent to an interactive interpreter running under fades - Support missing virtualenv directories: if a virtualenv was found in the cache check if it is valid, otherwise re-create it - Added infrastructure for fades to be packaged and run as a Snap snap install fades - Better multiplatformy locking to exclude two simultaneous fades runs messing with internal files - Instructions to install using 'brew' - Alert the user that the one doing background stuff is fades - Better README and documentation in general - Improved version description to be more standards compliant - Other minor improvements and bug fixes Nicolás and I want to say a big thank you to the following collaborators that helped to improve and enhance fades in different ways for this version (in alphabetical order): Ariel Rossanigo David Litvak Bruno FaQ Filipe Ximenes Gera Juan Carizza Lucio Torre Manuel Kaufmann Martin Alderete To install and enjoy fades... - If you are in Ubuntu or Debian, you can easily install like this (but probably won't get *latest* fades: sudo apt-get install fades - For not latest debian/ubuntu you have a .deb here (with checksum and signature): http://taniquetil.com.ar/fades/fades-latest.deb http://taniquetil.com.ar/fades/fades-latest.deb.sha1 http://taniquetil.com.ar/fades/fades-latest.deb.asc - Install it in Arch is very simple: yaourt -S fades - In any Linux if you have the Snap system: snap install fades - Using pip if you want: pip3 install fades - You can always get the multiplatform tarball and install it in the old fashion way: wget http://taniquetil.com.ar/fades/fades-latest.tar.gz tar -xf fades-latest.tar.gz cd fades-* sudo ./setup.py install Also have the checksum and signature, if interested: http://taniquetil.com.ar/fades/fades-latest.tar.gz.sha1 http://taniquetil.com.ar/fades/fades-latest.tar.gz.asc Help / questions: - You can ask any question or send any recommendation or request to the mailing list... http://listas.python.org.ar/mailman/listinfo/fades ... or in the #fades IRC channel (in Freenode). - Also, you can open an issue here (please do if you find any problem!). https://github.com/PyAr/fades/issues/new - The project itself is in https://github.com/PyAr/fades It's very easy to run latest development version: git clone https://github.com/PyAr/fades.git cd fades bin/fades Thanks in advance for your time! -- .

by Charles R Harris May 18, 2017

May 18, 2017

Hi All, I'm pleased to announce the NumPy 1.13.0rc2 release. This release supports Python 2.7 and 3.4-3.6 and contains many new features. It is one of the most ambitious releases in the last several years. Some of the highlights and new functions are *Highlights* - Operations like ``a + b + c`` will reuse temporaries on some platforms, resulting in less memory use and faster execution. - Inplace operations check if inputs overlap outputs and create temporaries to avoid problems. - New __array_ufunc__ attribute provides improved ability for classes to override default ufunc behavior. - New np.block function for creating blocked arrays. *New functions* - New ``np.positive`` ufunc. - New ``np.divmod`` ufunc provides more efficient divmod. - New ``np.isnat`` ufunc tests for NaT special values. - New ``np.heaviside`` ufunc computes the Heaviside function. - New ``np.isin`` function, improves on ``in1d``. - New ``np.block`` function for creating blocked arrays. - New ``PyArray_MapIterArrayCopyIfOverlap`` added to NumPy C-API. Wheels for the pre-release are available on PyPI. Source tarballs, zipfiles, release notes, and the changelog are available on github <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.13.0rc2>.
