[baseline 0.2.1] Easy String Baseline
by Dan Gass 29 Mar '20

29 Mar '20

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 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)

[RELEASED] Python 3.5.8rc1 is released
by Larry Hastings 12 Oct '19

12 Oct '19

On behalf of the Python development community, I'm chuffed to announce the availability of Python 3.5.8rc1. Python 3.5 is in "security fixes only" mode. This new version only contains security fixes, not conventional bug fixes, and it is a source-only release. You can find Python 3.5.8rc1 here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-358rc1/ I think Python 3.5 may just barely outlive 2.7, //arry/

Vulture 1.1
by Jendrik Seipp 23 Sep '19

23 Sep '19

Vulture - Find dead code ======================== Vulture finds unused code in Python programs. This is useful for cleaning up and finding errors in large code bases. If you run Vulture on both your library and test suite you can find untested code. Due to Python's dynamic nature, static code analyzers like Vulture are likely to miss some dead code. Also, code that is only called implicitly may be reported as unused. Nonetheless, Vulture can be a very helpful tool for higher code quality. Download ======== https://github.com/jendrikseipp/vulture http://pypi.python.org/pypi/vulture Features ======== * fast: uses static code analysis * tested: tests itself and has complete test coverage * complements pyflakes and has the same output syntax * sorts unused classes and functions by size with ``--sort-by-size`` * supports Python 2.7 and Python 3.5+ News ==== * Add ``sys.excepthook`` to ``sys`` whitelist. * Add whitelist for ``ctypes`` module. * Check that type annotations are parsed and type comments are ignored (thanks @kx-chen). * Support checking files with BOM under Python 2.7 (#170). Cheers Jendrik

RasterFrames 0.8.2
by fitch＠astraea.io 23 Sep '19

23 Sep '19

[RasterFrames](https://rasterframes.io/) provides a DataFrame-centric view over arbitrary Earth-observation (EO) data, enabling spatiotemporal queries, map algebra raster operations, and compatibility with the ecosystem of [Apache Spark](https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/) [ML](https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/ml-guide.html) algorithms. It provides APIs in [Python, SQL, and Scala](https://rasterframes.io/languages.html), and can scale from a laptop computer to a large distributed cluster, enabling *global* analysis with satellite imagery in a wholly new, flexible, and convenient way. ## Changes in 0.8.2 * Added ability to pass config options to convenience PySpark session constructor. * Bumped Spark dependency to version 2.3.4. * Fixed handling of aggregate extent and image size on GeoTIFF writing. * Fixed issue with `RasterSourceDataSource` swallowing exceptions. * Fixed SparkML memory pressure issue caused by unnecessary reevaluation, overallocation, and primitive boxing. * Fixed Parquet serialization issue with `RasterRef`s * Fixed `TileExploder`, `rf_agg_local_mean` and `TileColumnSupport` to support `proj_raster` struct. * Various documentation improvements. * _Breaking_ (potentially): Synchronized parameter naming in Python and Scala for `spark.read.raster` Full release notes are available here: https://rasterframes.io/release-notes.html * Source: https://github.com/locationtech/rasterframes * Install: `pip install pyrasterframes` * Getting Started: https://rasterframes.io/getting-started.html
