ANN: Lea 3.2.0 released
by pie.denis＠skynet.be 16 Aug '19

16 Aug '19

Lea 3.2.0 is now released! ---> http://pypi.org/project/lea/3.2.0 What is Lea? ------------ Lea is a Python module aiming at working with discrete probability distributions in an intuitive way. It allows you modeling a broad range of random phenomena: gambling, weather, finance, etc. More generally, Lea may be used for any finite set of discrete values having known probability: numbers, booleans, date/times, symbols, ... Each probability distribution is modeled as a plain object, which can be named, displayed, queried or processed to produce new probability distributions. Lea also provides advanced functions, machine learning and Probabilistic Programming (PP) features; these include conditional probabilities, Bayesian networks, joint probability distributions, Markov chains, EM algorithm and symbolic computation. Lea can be used for AI, PP, gambling, education, etc. LGPL - Python 2.6+ / Python 3 supported What's new in Lea 3.2.0? ------------------------ The version 3.2.0 extends Lea with machine learning features. This includes the Expectation-Maximization algorithm (EM). It allows you to learn parameters of probabilistic models having hidden variables. The machine learning features are now described comprehensively in a dedicated page of the wiki: http://bitbucket.org/piedenis/lea/wiki/Lea3_Tutorial_4. To learn more... ---------------- Lea 3 on PyPI -> http://pypi.org/project/lea Lea project page -> http://bitbucket.org/piedenis/lea Documentation -> http://bitbucket.org/piedenis/lea/wiki/Home Statues algorithm -> http://arxiv.org/abs/1806.09997 With the hope that Lea can make this Universe less risky, Pierre Denis

Twisted 19.7.0 Release Announcement
by Glyph 16 Aug '19

16 Aug '19

On behalf of Twisted Matrix Laboratories and our long-suffering release manager Amber Brown, I am honored to announce[1] the release of Twisted 19.7.0! The highlights of this release include: A full description on the PyPI page! Check it out here: https://pypi.org/project/Twisted/19.7.0/ <https://pypi.org/project/Twisted/19.7.0/> (and compare to the slightly sad previous version, here: https://pypi.org/project/Twisted/19.2.1/ <https://pypi.org/project/Twisted/19.2.1/>) twisted.test.proto_helpers has been renamed to "twisted.internet.testing" This removes the gross special-case carve-out where it was the only "public" API in a test module, and now the rule is that all test modules are private once again. Conch's SSH server now supports hmac-sha2-512. The XMPP server in Twisted Words will now validate certificates! This is a very important security fix for any twisted.words / XMPP users. (See https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/9561 <https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/9561>) A nasty data-corruption bug in the IOCP reactor was fixed. If you're doing high-volume I/O on Windows you'll want to upgrade! Twisted Web no longer gives clients a traceback by default, both when you instantiate Site and when you use `twist web` on the command line. You can turn this behavior back on for local developemnt with `twist web --display-tracebacks`. Several bugfixes and documentation fixes resolving bytes/unicode type confusion in twisted.web. Python 3.4 is no longer supported. `pip install -U twisted[tls]` and enjoy all these enhancements today! Thanks for using Twisted, -glyph [1]: somewhat belatedly: it came out 10 days ago. Oops!

ANN: NumExpr 2.7.0 Release
by Robert McLeod 14 Aug '19

14 Aug '19

========================= Announcing Numexpr 2.7.0 ========================= Hi everyone, This is a minor version bump for NumExpr. We would like to highlight the changes made in 2.6.9 (which in retrospect should have been a minor version bump), where the maximum number of threads spawned can be limited by setting the environment variable "NUMEXPR_MAX_THREADS". If this variable is not set, in 2.7.0 the historical limit of 8 threads will be used. The lack of a check caused some problems on very large hosts in cluster environments in 2.6.9. In addition, we are officially dropping Python 2.6 support in this release as we cannot perform continuous integration for it. Project documentation is available at: http://numexpr.readthedocs.io/ Changes from 2.6.9 to 2.7.0 ---------------------------- - The default number of 'safe' threads has been restored to the historical limit of 8, if the environment variable "NUMEXPR_MAX_THREADS" has not been set. - Thanks to @eltoder who fixed a small memory leak. - Support for Python 2.6 has been dropped, as it is no longer available via TravisCI. - A typo in the test suite that had a less than rather than greater than symbol in the NumPy version check has been corrected thanks to dhomeier. - The file `site.cfg` was being accidentally included in the sdists on PyPi. It has now been excluded. What's Numexpr? --------------- Numexpr is a fast numerical expression evaluator for NumPy. With it, expressions that operate on arrays (like "3*a+4*b") are accelerated and use less memory than doing the same calculation in Python. It has multi-threaded capabilities, as well as support for Intel's MKL (Math Kernel Library), which allows an extremely fast evaluation of transcendental functions (sin, cos, tan, exp, log...) while squeezing the last drop of performance out of your multi-core processors. Look here for a some benchmarks of numexpr using MKL: https://github.com/pydata/numexpr/wiki/NumexprMKL Its only dependency is NumPy (MKL is optional), so it works well as an easy-to-deploy, easy-to-use, computational engine for projects that don't want to adopt other solutions requiring more heavy dependencies. Where I can find Numexpr? ------------------------- The project is hosted at GitHub in: https://github.com/pydata/numexpr You can get the packages from PyPI as well (but not for RC releases): http://pypi.python.org/pypi/numexpr Documentation is hosted at: http://numexpr.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ Share your experience --------------------- Let us know of any bugs, suggestions, gripes, kudos, etc. you may have. Enjoy data! -- Robert McLeod robbmcleod(a)gmail.com robert.mcleod(a)hitachi-hhtc.ca

ANN: A new version (0.4.5) of python-gnupg has been released.
by Vinay Sajip 12 Aug '19

12 Aug '19

A new version of the Python module which wraps GnuPG has been released. What Changed?============= This is an enhancement and bug-fix release, and all users are encouraged toupgrade. Brief summary: * Fixed #107: Improved documentation. * Fixed #112: Raised a ValueError if a gnupghome is specified which is not an existing directory. * Fixed #113: Corrected stale link in the documentation. * Fixed #116: Updated documentation to clarify when spurious key-expired/ signature-expired messages might be seen. * Fixed #119: Added --yes to avoid pinentry when deleting secret keys with GnuPG >= 2.1. * A warning is logged if gpg returns a non-zero return code. * Added ``extra_args`` to ``import_keys``. * Added support for CI using AppVeyor. This release [2] has been signed with my code signing key: Vinay Sajip (CODE SIGNING KEY) <vinay_sajip at yahoo.co.uk>Fingerprint: CA74 9061 914E AC13 8E66 EADB 9147 B477 339A 9B86 Recent changes to PyPI don't show the GPG signature with the download links.An alternative download source where the signatures are available is the project'sown downloads page [5]. What Does It Do?================The gnupg module allows Python programs to make use of thefunctionality provided by the Gnu Privacy Guard (abbreviated GPG orGnuPG). Using this module, Python programs can encrypt and decryptdata, digitally sign documents and verify digital signatures, manage(generate, list and delete) encryption keys, using proven Public KeyInfrastructure (PKI) encryption technology based on OpenPGP. This module is expected to be used with Python versions >= 2.4, as itmakes use of the subprocess module which appeared in that version ofPython. This module is a newer version derived from earlier work byAndrew Kuchling, Richard Jones and Steve Traugott. A test suite using unittest is included with the source distribution. Simple usage: >>> import gnupg>>> gpg = gnupg.GPG(gnupghome='/path/to/keyring/directory')>>> gpg.list_keys() [{...'fingerprint': 'F819EE7705497D73E3CCEE65197D5DAC68F1AAB2','keyid': '197D5DAC68F1AAB2','length': '1024','type': 'pub','uids': ['', 'Gary Gross (A test user) <gary.gr... at gamma.com>']},{...'fingerprint': '37F24DD4B918CC264D4F31D60C5FEFA7A921FC4A','keyid': '0C5FEFA7A921FC4A','length': '1024',...'uids': ['', 'Danny Davis (A test user) <danny.da... at delta.com>']}]>>> encrypted = gpg.encrypt("Hello, world!", ['0C5FEFA7A921FC4A'])>>> str(encrypted) '-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----\nVersion: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux)\n\nhQIOA/6NHMDTXUwcEAf.-----END PGP MESSAGE-----\n'>>> decrypted = gpg.decrypt(str(encrypted), passphrase='secret')>>> str(decrypted) 'Hello, world!'>>> signed = gpg.sign("Goodbye, world!", passphrase='secret')>>> verified = gpg.verify(str(signed))>>> print "Verified" if verified else "Not verified" 'Verified' As always, your feedback is most welcome (especially bug reports [3],patches and suggestions for improvement, or any other points via themailing list/discussion group [4]).
