PyCA cryptography 35.0.0 released
by Paul Kehrer 30 Sep '21

30 Sep '21

PyCA cryptography 35.0.0 has been released to PyPI. cryptography includes both high level recipes and low level interfaces to common cryptographic algorithms such as symmetric ciphers, asymmetric algorithms, message digests, X509, key derivation functions, and much more. We support Python 3.6+, and PyPy3. Changelog (https://cryptography.io/en/latest/changelog/#v35-0-0): * Changed the version scheme. This will result in us incrementing the major version more frequently, but does not change our existing backwards compatibility policy. * BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: The X.509 certificate parser no longer allows negative serial numbers. RFC 5280 has always prohibited these. * BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Invalid ASN.1 found during X.509 parsing will raise an error on initial parse rather than when the invalid field is accessed. * Rust is now required for building cryptography, the CRYPTOGRAPHY_DONT_BUILD_RUST environment variable is no longer respected. * Parsers for X.509 no longer use OpenSSL and have been rewritten in Rust. This should be backwards compatible (modulo the items listed above) and improve both security and performance. * Added support for OpenSSL 3.0.0 as a compilation target. * Added support for SM3 and SM4, when using OpenSSL 1.1.1. These algorithms are provided for compatibility in regions where they may be required, and are not generally recommended. * We now ship manylinux_2_24 and musllinux_1_1 wheels, in addition to our manylinux2010 and manylinux2014 wheels. Users on distributions like Alpine Linux should ensure they upgrade to the latest pip to correctly receive wheels. * Added rfc4514_attribute_name attribute to x509.NameAttribute. * Added KBKDFCMAC. -Paul Kehrer (reaperhulk)

As last year, we are holding the General Assembly (GA) of the EuroPython Society (EPS) online for this year. General Assembly ---------------- In accordance with our bylaws, we are calling for the EuroPython Society General Assembly to be held on Sunday, October 10th 2020, from 19:00 - 21:00 CEST. We will use a Zoom meeting to hold the event and send around the URL closer to the event. All EPS members are welcome to join and vote at the meeting. Please be aware that we cannot allow non-EPS members to join, as we often do at the in-person GAs we hold at the conference, since we would then not be able to control access to the Zoom call. Board Nominations ----------------- As every year, we will vote in a new board. We have already sent out the list of board nominations in a separate blog post on 2021-09-23. Please see that post for details on the candidates and the nomination process. Motions by the Members ---------------------- EuroPython Society Members can propose motions to be put forward and voted on at the General Assembly. If you want to put forward a motion, please send this to board(a)europython.eu no later than Sunday, 2021-10-03, so that we can add them to the agenda. The bylaws require that any such motions be announced no later than 5 days before the GA and we will need time to clarify details and prepare the agenda. Agenda ------ We will publish the agenda with all motions put forward by the board and the members on Tuesday, 2020-10-05. The agenda will follow the template set out in our bylaws under section 8. https://www.europython-society.org/bylaws Reports ------- All reports for the GA will be published on Friday, 2020-10-08, to give the members enough time to read them and prepare questions. We’ll then answer any questions at the GA. Help spread the word -------------------- Please help us spread this message by sharing it on your social networks as widely as possible. Thank you !

PyEmpaq 0.2
by Facundo Batista 25 Sep '21

25 Sep '21

PyEmpaq is a simple but powerful Python packer to run any project with any virtualenv dependencies anywhere. With PyEmpaq you can convert any Python project into a single `.pyz` file with all the project's content packed inside. That single file is everything that needs to be distributed. When the final user executes it, the original project will be expanded, its dependencies installed in a virtualenv, and then executed. Note that no special permissions or privileges are required, as everything happens in the user environment. Both the packaging and the execution are fully multiplatorm. This means that you can pack a project in Linux, Windows, Mac or whatever, and it will run ok in Linux, Windows, Mac or whatever. This version brings the following change: - Now all the information for packing comes from the config file. PyEmpaq can be installed directly from PyPI: pip install --user --upgrade --ignore-installed pyempaq If you have `fades` you don't even need to install pyempaq, just run it: fades -d pyempaq -x pyempaq Check the project for all the information, including a couple of demo gifs showing PyEmpaq in action and examples for packed programs: https://github.com/facundobatista/pyempaq/ Regards, -- .

ANN: distlib 0.3.3 released on PyPI
by Vinay Sajip 22 Sep '21

22 Sep '21

I've recently released version 0.3.3 of distlib on PyPI [1]. For newcomers, distlib is a library of packaging functionality which is intended to be usable as the basis for third-party packaging tools. The main changes in this release are as follows: * Fixed #152: Removed splituser() function which wasn't used and is deprecated. * Fixed #149: Handle version comparisons correctly in environment markers. * Add ARM-64 launchers and support code to use them. Thanks to Niyas Sait and Adrian Vladu for their contributions. * Fixed #148: Handle a single trailing comma following a version. Thanks to Blazej Floch for the report and suggested fix. * Fixed #150: Fix incorrect handling of epochs. * Reverted handling of tags for Python >= 3.10 (use 310 rather than 3_10). This is because PEP 641 was rejected. * Added a GitHub Actions workflow to perform tests. A more detailed change log is available at [2]. Please try it out, and if you find any problems or have any suggestions for improvements, please give some feedback using the issue tracker! [3] Regards, Vinay Sajip [1] https://pypi.org/project/distlib/0.3.3/ [2] https://distlib.readthedocs.io/en/0.3.3/ [3] https://bitbucket.org/pypa/distlib/issues/new
