EuroPython 2017: Talk voting results
by M.-A. Lemburg 10 May '17

10 May '17

Thank you all for participating in last week’s talk voting: https://ep2017.europython.eu/en/speakers/talk-voting/ We have again broken a record, with more than 13,353 cast votes, a 22% increase compared to last year. We had almost 400 submissions to vote on. Users voted on 47 sessions on average, with more than 50% of the users casting 24.5 or more votes (median). A total of 284 users participated in the talk voting, compared to 254 users last year, so more than 20% of our attendees do like to actively participate in the selection of the talks. A pretty good indicator of how vibrant our community is. The program work group will now evaluate the voting results and select the first set of highest rated talks before going into the review phase to work on the remaining talk submissions. We plan to announce this first batch in the coming days. Enjoy, -- EuroPython 2017 Team http://ep2017.europython.eu/ http://www.europython-society.org/ PS: Please forward or retweet to help us reach all interested parties: https://twitter.com/europython/status/862268301992448001 Thanks.

wxPython 4.0.0a2
by Robin Dunn 09 May '17

09 May '17

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 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

He has been a judge on visualization contests, such as National Science Foundation vizzies (USA) and Malofiej (Spain). The Keynote: How to create inspiring data visualizations? --------------------------------------------------------- Many times data visualizations need to communicate insights clearly and effectively. But sometimes the goals of a visualization go beyond that: they need to inspire and engage people. But how do you draw them in? What is the process behind creating a creative data visualization? During this talk, I will show some of my projects, and explain a little about the process behind it.

07 May '17

Hello! I'm pleased to announce version 3.3.0, the first stable release of branch 3.3 of SQLObject. What's new in SQLObject ======================= Features -------- * Support for Python 2.6 is declared obsolete and will be removed in the next release. Minor features -------------- * Convert scripts repository to devscripts subdirectory. Some of thses scripts are version-dependent so it's better to have them in the main repo. * Test for __nonzero__ under Python 2, __bool__ under Python 3 in BoolCol. Drivers (work in progress) -------------------------- * Add support for PyODBC and PyPyODBC (pure-python ODBC DB API driver) for MySQL, PostgreSQL and MS SQL. Driver names are ``pyodbc``, ``pypyodbc`` or ``odbc`` (try ``pyodbc`` and ``pypyodbc``). There are some problems with pyodbc and many problems with pypyodbc. Documentation ------------- * Stop updating http://sqlobject.readthedocs.org/ - it's enough to have http://sqlobject.org/ Tests ----- * Run tests at Travis CI and AppVeyor with Python 3.6, x86 and x64. * Stop running tests at Travis with Python 2.6. * Stop running tests at AppVeyor with pymssql - too many timeouts and problems. For a more complete list, please see the news: http://sqlobject.org/News.html What is SQLObject ================= SQLObject is an object-relational mapper. Your database tables are described as classes, and rows are instances of those classes. SQLObject is meant to be easy to use and quick to get started with. SQLObject supports a number of backends: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Firebird, Sybase, MSSQL and MaxDB (also known as SAPDB). Python 2.6, 2.7 or 3.4+ is required.

TASU 4.0.0 released
by Juancarlo Añez 07 May '17

07 May '17

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. Tatsu can compile a grammar stored in a string into a tatsu.grammars.Grammar object that can be used to parse any given input, much like the re module does with regular expressions, or it can generate a Python module that implements the parser. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tatsu/ https://github.com/apalala/tatsu http://tatsu.readthedocs.io/ -- Juancarlo
