Community support for Python 2 will expire on Jan. 1, 2020. After that date, the Python core team and many third-party package authors will no longer be supporting, maintaining or updating any of their Python 2.x releases. Organizations with Python 2 deployments are faced with a key decision: whether to rewrite, migrate or maintain their existing applications. No matter which option they choose, the safety net of a commercial support provider can help reduce risk and save developer time.

Release 1.6.1 of roundup issue tracker
by John P. Rouillard 13 Jul '19

13 Jul '19

I'm proud to release version 1.6.1 of Roundup which has been possible due to the help of several contributors. This release is a bug fix release. If you are upgrading from a release earlier than 1.6.0 it includes important security enhancements, so make sure to read `docs/upgrading.txt <http://www.roundup-tracker.org/docs/upgrading.html>`_ to bring your tracker up to date. Features: - doc updates. Link rot fixed and some grammar changes. 'Provisional User' config example fixed. Issue tracker is now https. (John Rouillard) Fixed: - issue2550994: avoid breakage caused by use of backports of Python 3 configparser module to Python 2. (Joseph Myers) - issue2551023: Fix CSRF headers for use with wsgi and cgi. The env variable array used - separators rather than _. Compare: HTTP_X-REQUESTED-WITH to HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH. The last is correct. Also fix roundup-server to produce the latter form. (Patch by Cedric Krier, reviewed/applied John Rouillard.) - issue2551035 - fix XSS issue in wsgi and cgi when handing url not found/404. Reported by hannob at https://github.com/python/bugs.python.org/issues/34, issue opened by JulienPalard. - issue2551029: Jinja2 template install error. Remove config.ini from templates to make sure that roundup-admin install writes a new default config.ini based on configuration.py. - issue2551029: Jinja2 template install error. Handle issue with template's config.ini not getting updated. Provide an alternate file: config_ini.ini for required config settings that are merged into the default values producing an up to date config.ini on install. If you're upgrading from an older version of Roundup you *must* follow the "Software Upgrade" guidelines given in the maintenance documentation. Roundup requires python 2.7 or later (but not 3+) for correct operation. To give Roundup a try, just download (see below), unpack and run:: python demo.py Release info and download page: https://pypi.org/project/roundup Source and documentation is available at the website: http://roundup-tracker.org/ Mailing lists - the place to ask questions: https://sourceforge.net/p/roundup/mailman/ About Roundup ============= Roundup is a simple-to-use and -install issue-tracking system with command-line, web and e-mail interfaces. It is based on the winning design from Ka-Ping Yee in the Software Carpentry "Track" design competition. Note: Ping is not responsible for this project. The contact for this project is richard(a)users.sourceforge.net. Roundup manages a number of issues (with flexible properties such as "description", "priority", and so on) and provides the ability to: (a) submit new issues, (b) find and edit existing issues, and (c) discuss issues with other participants. The system will facilitate communication among the participants by managing discussions and notifying interested parties when issues are edited. One of the major design goals for Roundup that it be simple to get going. Roundup is therefore usable "out of the box" with any python 2.7+ (but not 3+) installation. It doesn't even need to be "installed" to be operational, though an install script is provided. It comes with five issue tracker templates * a classic bug/feature tracker * a minimal skeleton; * a more extensive devel tracker for bug/features etc. * a responsive version of the devel tracker * a jinja2 based template based on devel and can use any of four database back-ends (anydbm, sqlite, mysql and postgresql). -- -- rouilj John Rouillard

VisPy 0.6 released!
by David Hoese 12 Jul '19

12 Jul '19

I am extremely excited to announce that VisPy 0.6 has finally been released! # What is it? VisPy is a wrapper around OpenGL and provides an easy way to make scientific visualizations using high performance GPU-based interfaces. It provides "Visual" objects to provide builtin shapes, images, meshes, cameras, volumes, and text elements. VisPy supports Linux, Windows, and Mac. It has been shown to run on Raspberry Pi's as well. # Changes - Update PyQt5/PySide2 to use newer GL API - Update to PyQt5 as default backend - New Cython-based text rendering option - New WindbarbVisual - Improved JupyterLab/Notebook widget (experimental) - Fix various memory leaks - Various optimizations and bug fixes # Building/Testing This release includes new cython extensions, optional/experiment Jupyter widgets, and some previously bundled dependencies changed to external dependencies. This means that although we've added new features, we've also increased the chance of build issues. That's why this is also the first release that we're providing binary wheels on PyPI to make installation easier (especially for Windows users). As always, VisPy is also available with conda from conda-forge. See the installation instructions for more info (http://vispy.org/installation.html#installation-options). If you encounter any issues please file them on GitHub. # Python 2 Support VisPy 0.6 will be the last minor release supporting Python 2. We will still make bug releases for 0.6, if needed, until the end of the year. # Contributors You may have noticed that VisPy's releases are few and far between. I hope to improve this in the future as build systems become more stable and VisPy's code gets cleaned up. That said, VisPy has a lot of room for new contributors and we welcome any and everyone who wants to contribute. You don't need OpenGL experience and can contribute with documentation updates, bug fixes, new features, reviewing pull requests and issues, or answering questions on gitter. # Links Website: http://vispy.org/ GitHub: https://github.com/vispy/vispy Twitter: https://twitter.com/vispyproject Gitter Chat: https://gitter.im/vispy/vispy Thanks everyone!

[ANN] PyInstaller 3.5
by Hartmut Goebel 09 Jul '19

09 Jul '19

Hello, on behalf of the PyInstaller development team I'm happy to announce PyInstaller 3.5. http://www.pyinstaller.org Thanks for all those who contributed questions, bug-reports or pull-requests. === What it is === PyInstaller bundles a Python application and all its dependencies into a single package. The user can run the packaged app without installing a Python interpreter or any modules. PyInstaller reads a Python script written by you. It analyzes your code to discover every other module and library your script needs in order to execute. Then it collects copies of all those files – including the active Python interpreter! – and puts them with your script in a single folder, or optionally in a single executable file. PyInstaller is tested against Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. However, it is not a cross-compiler: to make a Windows app you run PyInstaller in Windows; to make a Linux app you run it in Linux, etc. PyInstaller has been used successfully with AIX, Solaris, and FreeBSD, but is not tested against them. === Help keeping PyInstaller alive === Maintaining PyInstaller is a huge amount of work. PyInstaller development can only continue if users and companies provide sustainable funding. Please consider recurring donations. See http://www.pyinstaller.org/funding.html for how to support PyInstaller. === Installation === PyInstaller can be installed from PyPi using pip install pyinstaller === Important Changes === * More then 30 hooks added, more then 10 hooks fixed or improved. * More then 20 bugs fixed. * Python 3.4 is no longer tested, since this version is end-of-life already. The full changelog for this release can be found at: https://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/v3.5/CHANGES.html === Feedback === We're eager to listen to your feedback on using PyInstaller: Bug tracker: https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues Mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/PyInstaller -- Schönen Gruß Hartmut Goebel Dipl.-Informatiker (univ), CISSP, CSSLP, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer Information Security Management, Security Governance, Secure Software Development Goebel Consult, Landshut http://www.goebel-consult.de Blog: http://www.goebel-consult.de/blog/warum-sie-nicht-perl-programmiern-sollten Kolumne: http://www.cissp-gefluester.de/2012-02-bring-your-own-life-glosse
