For more information, check the NEWS file (link provided below). You can find the downloads at <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Twisted> (or alternatively <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Downloads>). The NEWS file is also available at <https://github.com/twisted/twisted/blob/twisted-18.9.0/NEWS>.

Cython 0.29
by Stefan Behnel Oct. 16, 2018

Oct. 16, 2018

Hi, after half a year of development, many community pull requests and a lot of feedback and good ideas in online discussions and at conferences, I'm proud to announce the release of Cython 0.29. What is Cython? In case you didn't hear about Cython before, it's the most widely used statically optimising Python compiler out there. It translates Python (2/3) code to C, and makes it as easy as Python itself to tune the code all the way down into fast native code. This time, we added several new features that help with speeding up and parallelising regular Python code to escape from the limitations of the GIL. See the changelog for details. Download: https://pypi.org/project/Cython/0.29/ https://github.com/cython/cython/releases/tag/0.29 Changelog: https://github.com/cython/cython/blob/0.29/CHANGES.rst What's new? http://blog.behnel.de/posts/whats-new-in-cython-029.html Have fun, Stefan

ANN: First beta release of `cfgrib` a GRIB driver for xarray based on ecCodes
by Alessandro Amici Oct. 16, 2018

Oct. 16, 2018

I'm pleased to announce the first beta release of ECMWF `cfgrib`, a Python interface to map GRIB files to the NetCDF Common Data Model following the CF Conventions using ECMWF ecCodes for decoding. Included in the package is a GRIB driver for xarray. https://pypi.org/project/cfgrib/0.9.0 Features with development status **Beta**: - read-only GRIB driver for xarray, - support reading most GRIB 1 and 2 files, - support all modern versions of Python 3.7, 3.6, 3.5 and 2.7, plus PyPy and PyPy3, - support most Linux distributions and MacOS, - only system dependency is the ecCodes C-library (not the Python2-only module), - no install time build (binds with CFFI ABI mode), - read the data lazily and efficiently in terms of both memory usage and disk access. The main repository is hosted on GitHub, testing, bug report and contributions are highly welcomed and appreciated. https://github.com/ecmwf/cfgrib The project is free and open source software distributed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0, the development is led by B-Open <http://bopen.eu> on behalf of ECMWF <https://ecmwf.int>. -- Alessandro Amici <a.amici(a)bopen.eu> - CTO at B-Open - http://bopen.eu

text2num v1.1.0 released
by Romuald Texier-Marcadé Oct. 15, 2018

Oct. 15, 2018

What's new ---------- - Support for swiss form *huitante*; - support for expressions in the form *dix-sept cent quatre-vingt-neuf* that are often used for dates; - improved documentation for the ``look_ahead`` helper function; - more consistent exception when invalid value is passed as parameter to `text2num` (fixes #7). What's this ----------- text2num: Parse and convert numbers written in French We're glad to announce the release of version 1.0 of text2num, the first Python library for parsing and converting numbers written in French into their digit representation. The parser is quite robust and is able to segment and convert number expressions within a stream of words. It recognizes different flavor of French, and parses ordinal numbers as well as decimals, integers and formal number sequences (phone numbers, card numbers…). The library is distributed under the MIT license.

by Ned Deily Oct. 13, 2018

Oct. 13, 2018

Python 3.7.1rc2 and 3.6.7rc2 are now available. 3.7.1rc2 is a release preview of the first maintenance release of Python 3.7, the latest feature release of Python. 3.6.7rc2 is a release preview of the next maintenance release of Python 3.6, the previous feature release of Python. Assuming no further critical problems are found prior to 2018-10-20, no code changes are planned between these release candidates and the final releases. These release candidates are intended to give you the opportunity to test the new security and bug fixes in 3.7.1 and 3.6.7. We strongly encourage you to test your projects and report issues found to bugs.python.org as soon as possible. Please keep in mind that these are preview releases and, thus, their use is not recommended for production environments. You can find these releases and more information here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-371rc2/ https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-367rc2/ -- Ned Deily nad(a)python.org -- []
