Datatest 0.9.2 released (test driven data-wrangling)
by Shawn Brown 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

Hello, I'm happy to announce that the next version of Datatest is now available. This update includes improved data handling features and support for Python 3.7. Datatest supports test driven data-wrangling, data validation, and analysis (for both pytest and unittest style testing). * Docs: http://datatest.readthedocs.io/ * PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/datatest/ * Devel: https://github.com/shawnbrown/datatest What's New in Datatest 0.9.2 ============================ * Changed Query class: * Added flatten() method to serialize dictionary results. * Added to_csv() method to quickly save results as a CSV file. * Changed reduce() method to accept "initializer_factory" as an optional argument. * Changed filter() method to support predicate matching. * Added True and False as predicates to support "truth value testing" on arbitrary objects (to match on truthy or falsy). * Added ProxyGroup class for performing the same operations on groups of objects at the same time (a common need when testing against reference data). * Changed Selector class keyword filtering to support predicate matching. * Added handling to get_reader() to support datatest's Selector and Result objects. * Fixed get_reader() bug that prevented encoding-fallback recovery when reading from StringIO buffers in Python 2.

[ANN] txkube 0.3.0
by Jean-Paul Calderone 08 Aug '18

08 Aug '18

Hello all, I'm pleased to announce a new release of txkube, a Twisted-based library for interacting with Kubernetes using the HTTP API. The big news for this release is support for Python 3.6. Also included is support for multiple configuration files in the KUBECONFIG environment variable which allows for better configuration management practices. 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 network_kubernetes_from_context @react def main(reactor): k8s = network_kubernetes_from_context(reactor, u"minikube") d = k8s.versioned_client() d.addCallback( lambda client: client.list(client.model.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 TFA GmbH <https://leastauthority.com/> for sponsoring this development and to Craig Rodrigues for his efforts on Python 3 porting work.

Nikola v8.0.0b3 is out!
by Chris Warrick 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

On behalf of the Nikola team, I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of Nikola v8.0.0b3. This is the third and hopefully final beta of Nikola v8. The big change in this release is the adoption of Babel to handle date translations (instead of relying on system locale, which didn’t work well for us). Other issues and bugs were fixed. Many themes in our Index have been ported for Nikola v8, but some of them are not yet there. What is Nikola? =============== Nikola is a static site and blog generator, written in Python. It can use Mako and Jinja2 templates, and input in many popular markup formats, such as reStructuredText and Markdown — and can even turn Jupyter Notebooks into blog posts! It also supports image galleries, and is multilingual. Nikola is flexible, and page builds are extremely fast, courtesy of doit (which is rebuilding only what has been changed). Find out more at the website: https://getnikola.com/ Downloads ========= Install using ``pip install Nikola==8.0.0b3``. If you want to upgrade to Nikola v8, make sure to read the blog post: https://getnikola.com/blog/upgrading-to-nikola-v8.html Changes ======= Features -------- * New data_file option for chart shortcode and directive (Issue #3129) * Show the filename of the missing file when ``nikola serve`` can't find a file (i.e. when an 404 error occurs). * Better error messages for JSON download failures in ``nikola plugin`` and ``nikola theme`` (Issue getnikola/plugins#282) * Use Babel instead of the locale module to better handle localizations (Issues #2606, #3121) * Change ``DATE_FORMAT`` formats to CLDR formats (Issue #2606) Bugfixes -------- * Fix listing installed themes if theme directory is missing. * Watch correct output folder in ``nikola auto`` (Issue #3119) * Fix post fragment dependencies when posts are only available in a non-default language (Issue #3112) * Implement ``MARKDOWN_EXTENSION_CONFIGS`` properly (Issue #2970) * Ignore ``.DS_Store`` when processing listings (Issue #3099) * Remove redundant check for tag similarity (Mentioned in Issue #3123) -- Chris Warrick <https://chriswarrick.com/> PGP: 5EAAEA16
