ANNOUNCE: Mailman 3.1.0 final!
by Barry Warsaw May 25, 2017

May 25, 2017

Hello Mailpeople! On behalf of the entire team and all our wonderful contributors, I'm happy to announce the release of GNU Mailman 3.1 final. My deep thanks go to all the Mailman project sprinters at Pycon 2017 for getting us over the line! Two years after the original release of Mailman 3.0, this version contains a huge number of improvements across the entire stack. Many bugs have been fixed and new features added in the Core, Postorius (web u/i), and HyperKitty (archiver). Upgrading … [View More]from Mailman 2.1 should be better too. We are seeing more production sites adopt Mailman 3, and we've been getting great feedback as these have rolled out. Important: mailman-bundler, our previous recommended way of deploying Mailman 3, has been deprecated. Abhilash Raj is putting the finishing touches on Docker images to deploy everything, and he'll have a further announcement in a week or two. Feedback is welcome: https://github.com/maxking/docker-mailman What is GNU Mailman? GNU Mailman is free software for managing electronic mail discussion and e-newsletter lists. Mailman is integrated with the web, making it easy for users to manage their accounts and for list owners to administer their lists. Mailman supports built-in archiving, automatic bounce processing, content filtering, digest delivery, and more. Mailman 3 is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 3. The best places to start for all things related to this release: http://docs.mailman3.org/ http://www.list.org/ https://gitlab.com/mailman (Note: due to timezone skew, some of the tarballs may not be available on PyPI until tomorrow.) Happy Mailman Day, -Your friendly neighborhood cabal An overview of what's new in Mailman 3.1 ======================================== Feature parity with Mailman 2.1 ------------------------------- * You should be able to do just about everything that you could do in Mailman 2.1 *except* for topics and sibling/umbrella lists. Core ---- * Added support for Python 3.5 and 3.6 * MySQL is now an officially supported database * Many improvements with importing Mailman 2.1 lists * DMARC mitigations have been added, based on, but different than the same feature in Mailman 2.1 * The REST API requires HTTP/1.1 * A new REST API version (3.1) has been added which changes how UUIDs are interpreted, fixing the problem for some JavaScript libraries * Many new REST resources and methods have been added * Individual mailing lists can augment the system's header matching rules * `mailman create` now creates missing domains by default * `mailman digests` now has `--verbose` and `--dry-run` options * `mailman shell` now supports readline history * `mailman members` can filter members based on their subscription roles * A new template system has been added for all messages originating from inside Mailman. * The Message-ID-Hash header replaces X-Message-ID-Hash * New placeholders have been added for headers and footers * Unsubscriptions can now be confirmed and/or moderated Postorius/HyperKitty -------------------- * General U/I and U/X improvements * Many more features from the Core's have been plumbed through * We've adopted Django social auth logins and dropped Persona (since it's no longer supported upstream). You can now log in via Facebook, Google, GitHub, and GitLab. Backward incompatibilities -------------------------- * Core/REST: Held message resources now have an `original_subject` key that is not RFC 2047 decoded. `subject` is now RFC 2047 decoded. * Core/REST: If you've run pre-release versions from git head, and stored welcome and goodbye templates via REST, the template key names have changed backward incompatibility.

attrs 17.1.0
by Hynek Schlawack May 16, 2017

May 16, 2017

Hi everyone, fresh for PyCon US 2017, the attrs team is relieved to present you the much-delayed attrs 17.1.0! Full changes: http://www.attrs.org/en/stable/changelog.html *** First the bad news: until 17.1.0, attrs’ logic regarding when to create a __hash__ method was in conflict with Python’s specification. If you use instances as dict keys or put them into sets, you have to either make them frozen explicitly by passing `frozen=True` or implicitly by pinky-swearing to not mutate them and … [View More]force the creation of __hash__ using `hash=True`. *Please* double check before upgrading! We’re honestly sorry but didn’t see any better way to handle this. But mind you: hashing mutable objects is a bug so the breakage you’ll encounter may very well be the surfacing of latent, sneaky bugs. *** Now the good news! This release took very long (we promise improvement!) which led to the accumulation of a lot of great new features. A few highlights: # Decorators for validators >>> @attr.s ... class C(object): ... x = attr.ib() ... @x.validator ... def check(self, attribute, value): ... if value > 42: ... raise ValueError("y must be smaller or equal to 42") >>> C(42) C(x=42) >>> C(43) Traceback (most recent call last): ... ValueError: x must be smaller or equal to 42 # Decorators for defaults & self in factories One of the most requested features: you can base the default of an attribute on a preceding attribute: >>> @attr.s ... class C(object): ... x = attr.ib(default=1) ... y = attr.ib(default=attr.Factory(lambda self: self.x + 1, takes_self=True)) ... z = attr.ib() ... @z.default ... def name_does_not_matter(self): ... return self.x + 1 >>> C() C(x=1, y=2, z=3) # New Validators: in_() & and_() in_() allows to check whether a value is part of an enum or any container: >>> import enum >>> class State(enum.Enum): ... ON = "on" ... OFF = "off" >>> @attr.s ... class C(object): ... state = attr.ib(validator=attr.validators.in_(State)) ... val = attr.ib(validator=attr.validators.in_([1, 2, 3])) >>> C(State.ON, 1) C(state=<State.ON: 'on'>, val=1) >>> C("on", 1) Traceback (most recent call last): ... ValueError: 'state' must be in <enum 'State'> (got 'on') >>> C(State.ON, 4) Traceback (most recent call last): ... ValueError: 'val' must be in [1, 2, 3] (got 4) and_() allows you to compose multiple validators to one. As syntactic sugar, you can also just pass a list to `validator=`. Therefore the following lines are equivalent: x = attr.ib(validator=attr.validators.and_(v1, v2, v3)) x = attr.ib(validator=[v1, v2, v3]) For the attrs team Hynek [View Less]

[ann] sphinxcontrib-trio: make sphinx better at documenting functions/methods, esp. for async/await code
by Nathaniel Smith May 12, 2017

May 12, 2017

Hi all, I just released a new package, sphinxcontrib-trio: https://sphinxcontrib-trio.readthedocs.io/ It makes it easier to document many kinds of functions/methods in sphinx, including async functions, abstract methods, generators, etc. I originally wrote it for the trio [1] project, hence the name, but don't let that put you off -- there's nothing about it that's specific to trio, or even to async/await (except that projects that use async/await *really need* an extension like this). … [View More]

wxPython 4.0.0a2
by Robin Dunn May 9, 2017

May 9, 2017

Announcing wxPython 4.0.0a2 --------------------------- https://pypi.python.org/pypi/wxPython/4.0.0a2 This build of wxPython is based on the official wxWidgets 3.0.3 release. This release is mostly various bug fixes and other tweaks, such as: * Allow numpy arrays to be auto-converted to simple sequence value types like wx.Size, wx.Colour, etc. * A couple of fixes to lib/agw/aui to prevent segfaults under OSX when AuiNotebook tabs are closed * Fix wx._core.wxAssertionError in … [View More]wx.lib.agw.aui when dragging a notebook tab * Fix the [G|S]etClientData methods in wx.CommandEvent to behave the same way they are in wx.ClientDataContainer. * Fix the SetFonts methods in wx.html classes * Several fixes in wx.dataview related to overriding methods * Fixed some flickering in wx.lib.agw.aui.framemanager * Fixed problem with wrong implementation of wxNotebook::DeleteAllPages being called on Windows * Added the missing wx.grid.GRID_AUTOSIZE flag * Fixed crash due to the object created in an XmlSubclassFactory being destroyed too soon * Fixed crash in wx.lib.agw.toasterbox * Fixed crash when using wx.xrc.XmlSubclassFactory * Fixed wx.grid.GridTableBase.GetValue and related methods to work more like they did in Classic, so non-string values can be used a little more easily. Added building and bundling of the PDB files for wxWidgets and the wxPython extensions on Windows. Until a better place is found they will be downloadable from https://wxPython.org/Phoenix/release-extras, along with archives for the documentation as well as the demo and samples. 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 [View Less]

ANN: Lea 2.3 released
by Pierre Denis May 1, 2017

Lea 2.3 is now released! ---> http://pypi.python.org/pypi/lea/2.3.4 What is Lea? ------------ Lea is a Python package aiming at working with discrete probability distributions in an intuitive way. It allows you to model a broad range of random phenomenons, like dice throwing, coin tossing, gambling, finance, weather, etc. It offers high-level modeling features for probabilistic programming and Bayesian inference. Lea has several original features: the storage of probabilities as integer … [View More]weights, an inference algorithm that produces *exact* results and a strong emphasis on ease-of-use. Lea is lightweight, open-source (LGPL) and pure Python, with support of versions 2 and 3). See project page below for installation, tutorials, examples, etc. What's new in Lea 2.3? ---------------------- Compared to latest version (2.2), few things, although important, have been added. * A new method, 'switch', allows you to make efficient Bayesian networks. For variables having many dependences, there is a dramatic speed improvement regarding the 'buildCPT' method available so far. The new method is fully documented in the wiki page dedicated to Bayesian inference, which has been updated in depth: http://bitbucket.org/piedenis/lea/wiki/LeaPyTutorial2. * A new method, 'internal', allows you to see what's inside any Lea instance (should you be curious of that). * Bugs on some secondary methods have been fixed. * Last but not least, for those of you interested in information theory, two new methods have been added to calculate joint entropy and conditional entropy (aka equivocation): http://bitbucket.org/piedenis/lea/wiki/LeaPyTutorial1#markdown-header-mutual -information-joint-and-conditional-entropy What's *in* Lea? ---------------- Lea uses an original probabilistic inference algorithm called the *Statues algorithm*. This relies on the generator construct, a special case of coroutine, embodied in Python with the 'yield' statement. Should you be interested in this topic: - you could have a look at the MicroLea project, which implements no more than the core Statues algorithm (http://bitbucket.org/piedenis/microlea); - be informed that I've written a paper (draft/unpublished) that describes this algorithm in details; if you required it to me, I can provide you this paper; BTW, I would be glad to receive your feedbacks/advices for a potential submission.
