[baseline 0.2.1] Easy String Baseline
by Dan Gass March 30, 2020

March 30, 2020

I am please to announce the availability of the "baseline" package. This tool streamlines creation and maintenance of tests which compare string output against a baseline. It offers a mechanism to compare a string against a baselined copy and update the baselined copy to match the new value when a mismatch occurs. The update process includes a manual step to facilitate a review of the change before acceptance. The tool uses multi-line string format for string baselines to improve readability … [View More]for human review. Docs: https://baseline.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/baseline/ Repo: https://github.com/dmgass/baseline License: MIT With Regards, Dan Gass (dan.gass at gmail) *********** Quick Start *********** Create an empty baseline with a triple quoted multi-line string. Place the ending triple quote on a separate line and indent it to the level you wish the string baseline update to be indented to. Add a compare of the string being tested to the baseline string. Then save the file as ``fox.py``: .. code-block:: python from baseline import Baseline expected = Baseline(""" """) test_string = "THE QUICK BROWN FOX\n JUMPS\nOVER THE LAZY DOG." assert test_string == expected Run ``fox.py`` and observe that the ``assert`` raises an exception since the strings are not equal. Because the comparison failed, the tool located the triple quoted baseline string in the source file and updated it with the miscompared value. When the interpretter exited, the tool saved the updated source file but changed the file name to ``fox.update.py``: .. code-block:: python from baseline import Baseline expected = Baseline(""" THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG. """) test_string = "THE QUICK BROWN FOX\n JUMPS\nOVER THE LAZY DOG." assert test_string == expected After reviewing the change with your favorite file differencing tool, accept the change by either manually overwriting the original file or use the ``baseline`` command line tool to scan the directory for updated scripts and accept them: .. code-block:: shell $ python -m baseline * Found updates for: fox.py Hit [ENTER] to update, [Ctrl-C] to cancel fox.update.py -> fox.py Run ``fox.py`` again and observe the ``assert`` does not raise an exception nor is a source file update generated. If in the future the test value changes, the ``assert`` will raise an exception and cause a new source file update to be generated. Simply repeat the review and acceptance step and you are back in business! <P><A HREF="https://baseline.readthedocs.io/en/latest/"> baseline 0.2.1</A> - Easy String Baseline (07-Jun-18) [View Less]

NumPy 1.16.4 released.

May 28, 2019

Charles R Harris <charlesr.harris(a)gmail.com> Apr 21, 2019, 8:39 PM to numpy-discussion, SciPy, SciPy-User, bcc: python-announce-list Hi All, On behalf of the NumPy team I am pleased to announce the release of NumPy 1.16.4 which contains several fixes for newly reported bugs. The Python versions supported in this release are 2.7 and 3.5-3.7. Downstream developers building this release should use Cython >= 0.29.2 and, if using OpenBLAS, OpenBLAS > v0.3.7. Wheels for this release … [View More]can be downloaded from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/numpy/1.16.4/>, source archives and release notes are available from Github <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.16.4>. If you are installing using pip, you may encounter a problem with older installed versions of NumPy that pip did not delete becoming mixed with the current version, resulting in an ``ImportError``. That problem is particularly common on Debian derived distributions due to a modified pip. The fix is to make sure all previous NumPy versions installed by pip have been removed. See #12736 <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/12736> for discussion of the issue. *Contributors* A total of 10 people contributed to this release. People with a "+" by their names contributed a patch for the first time. - Charles Harris - Eric Wieser - Dennis Zollo + - Hunter Damron + - Jingbei Li + - Kevin Sheppard - Matti Picus - Nicola Soranzo + - Sebastian Berg - Tyler Reddy *Pull requests merged* A total of 16 pull requests were merged for this release. - gh-13392: BUG: Some PyPy versions lack PyStructSequence_InitType2. - gh-13394: MAINT, DEP: Fix deprecated ``assertEquals()`` - gh-13396: BUG: Fix structured_to_unstructured on single-field types (backport) - gh-13549: BLD: Make CI pass again with pytest 4.5 - gh-13552: TST: Register markers in conftest.py. - gh-13559: BUG: Removes ValueError for empty kwargs in arraymultiter_new - gh-13560: BUG: Add TypeError to accepted exceptions in crackfortran. - gh-13561: BUG: Handle subarrays in descr_to_dtype - gh-13562: BUG: Protect generators from log(0.0) - gh-13563: BUG: Always return views from structured_to_unstructured when... - gh-13564: BUG: Catch stderr when checking compiler version - gh-13565: BUG: longdouble(int) does not work - gh-13587: BUG: distutils/system_info.py fix missing subprocess import (#13523) - gh-13620: BUG,DEP: Fix writeable flag setting for arrays without base - gh-13641: MAINT: Prepare for the 1.16.4 release. - gh-13644: BUG: special case object arrays when printing rel-, abs-error Cheers, Charles Harris [View Less]

ANNOUNCE wxPython 4.0.6
by Robin Dunn May 22, 2019

May 22, 2019

Announcing wxPython 4.0.6 ========================= PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/wxPython/4.0.6 Extras: https://extras.wxPython.org/wxPython4/extras/ Pip: ``pip install wxPython==4.0.6`` This is a quick-fix release to take care of the following issues: * Fixed a probably rare, but fatal bug on OSX when calling certain overloaded virtual methods with implementations in Python. * Fixed char pointers in generated stub code to have a valid pointer value. * Reverted the change that … [View More]loads up install_requires from the contents of requirements.txt. Split the requirements.txt file into one for install and one for development. 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 with 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://docs.wxpython.org/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://docs.wxpython.org/ -- Robin Dunn Software Craftsman http://wxPython.org [View Less]

EuroPython 2019: Talk Voting is open
by M.-A. Lemburg May 13, 2019

May 13, 2019

Talk voting is your chance to tell us what you’d like to see at EuroPython 2019. We will leave talk voting open until: * Friday, May 17 23:59:59 CEST * In order to vote, please log in to the website and then navigate to the talk voting page: * https://ep2019.europython.eu/events/talk-voting/ * How talk voting works --------------------- The talk voting page lists all submitted proposals, including talks, trainings and posters. The proposals are sorted in random order. In order to … [View More]vote, have a look at the title/abstract and then indicate your personal interest in attending this session. We have simplified the voting process and you may choose between these four options: - must see - want to see - maybe - not interested The talks you haven’t voted for are marked "no vote". Your votes are automatically saved to the backend without the need to click on a save or submit button. Please note the voting period is a bit shorter this year. We want to make up some time and release a first selection of accepted proposals by May 22. Who can participate ? --------------------- Any registered attendee of the current EuroPython as well as any attendee of one of the past EuroPython conferences going back to 2015 can vote. If you have submitted a proposal this year, you are also eligible to vote. Talk Selection -------------- After the talk voting phase, the EuroPython Program Workgroup (WG) will use the votes to select the talks and build a schedule. The talk voting is a good and strong indicator what attendees are interested to see. Submissions are also selected based on editorial criteria to e.g. increase diversity, giving a chance to less mainstream topics as well as avoiding too much of the same topic.

Farewell, Python 3.4
by Larry Hastings May 8, 2019

May 8, 2019

It's with a note of sadness that I announce the final retirement of Python 3.4. The final release was back in March, but I didn't get around to actually closing and deleting the 3.4 branch until this morning. Python 3.4 introduced many features we all enjoy in modern Python--the asyncio, ensurepip, and enum packages, just to name three. It's a release I hope we all remember fondly. My eternal thanks to all the members of the release team that worked on Python 3.4: Georg … [View More]

Pythran 0.9.2 - koailh
by Serge Guelton May 5, 2019

May 5, 2019

Hi folks, and sorry for the double posting if any. It's my great pleasure to announce the release of Pythran 0.9.2, codenamed koailh. Pythran is an ahead of time compiler for scientific kernels written in Python. It is backward-compatible with Python (no language extension) and can take advantage of OpenMP annotations and automatic SIMD instruction generation. It's been more than four months since last release, so there's quite a lot of changes. The detailed changelog is available online: … [View More] https://pythran.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ Notable Changes =============== In addition to bugfixes and new function support, the most significant changes are the support of a special notation to describe optional argument in Pythran annotations: #pythran export foo(int, int?) This notation is equivalent to: #pythran export foo(int) #pythran export foo(int, int) This release also introduces a new dependency on the beniget package that provides use-def chains construction for Python code: https://github.com/serge-sans-paille/beniget A significant memory leak when converting extended slice from pythran to python has been spoted and fixed. In total, a great deal of 43 issues have been closed! https://github.com/serge-sans-paille/pythran/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Ai… Sample Code =========== As usual, I like to demonstrate Pythran through a small benchmark that used to be unsupported and now provides a nice x6 speedup (without xsimd) up to (with xsimd, non-strided version) over Python reference: import numpy as np #pythran export f_dist(float64[:,:], float64[:,:]) #pythran export f_dist(float64[::,::], float64[::,::]) def f_dist(X1, X2): return np.sum(np.abs(X1[:, None, :] - X2), axis=-1) (from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55854611/efficient-way-of-vectorizing-d…) Download ======== You can retrieve the package through PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/pythran/ Download the source on GitHub: https://github.com/serge-sans-paille/pythran Or using the conda package, now available for Windows in addition to Linux and OSX through conda-forge https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pythran Thanks ====== The following people have contributed to this version, through bug reports or commits, in no particular order: - Yann Diorcet - Neal Becker - Ashwin Vishnu - David Menéndez Hurtado - Jean Laroche - Anubhab Haldar - Thierry Dumont - "keke ge-smile" - "garanews" - Said Hadjout - Rodrigo Iga - Pierrick Brunet - Franck Cornevaux-Juignet Special thoughts to these last two, they reported bugs in 2013 and 2014, and the associated fixes only happened in 2019 ^^! Contribute ========== If you've been brave enough to read this whole mail, the next step is to support Pythran! You can donate your time through bug reports and fixes, give a small motivation boost through a gentle email, or just use it and share the joy. If you need important development in Pythran, you can drive the roadmap! Send an email to the mailing list (or to my personnal email if you're too shy). ++ Serge [View Less]
