Feb. 9, 2025

Hi! I'm pleased to announce the availability of wxGlade revision 1.0.1 Please download from https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxglade/files/wxglade/1.0.1/ wxGlade is a GUI builder for wxWidgets and wxPython. The documentation includes a tutorial for people who have not used wxPython before. Included are also examples for integration with matplotlib. A snapshot of the documentation is available at http://wxglade.sourceforge.net/docs/index.html For support, there's a mailing list at https://sourceforge.net/p/wxglade/mailman/wxglade-general/ git repository and bug tracker are at https://github.com/wxGlade/wxGlade (These pages are also linked from the help menu.) Changes in revision 1.0.x: ========================== Besides many improvements in usability, code generation and widget support, this is also a major internal refactoring of the main data structure and how widgets in the Design window are created / updated / destroyed. *General:* - sizers only required where wx requires them; not required e.g. for Frame->Panel (used to be Frame->Sizer->Panel) - better handling of display updates when properties are edited - accessibility and usability improvements - Dialog example - documentation update *Widgets:* - all: separate class related properties into Class / Base Classes / Instance Class - Dialog: add StdDialogButtonSizer and standard buttons (stock items); support SetAffirmativeId, SetEscapeId - Button: support for image direction - MenuBar: support lambda event handlers - GridBagSizer: indicate overlapped slots in the Tree view *Generated Code:* - no separation into __set_properties/__do_layout any more - support for instantiation classes *Internal:* - internal structures refactored - add shell window and Tree Printer wxGlade is released under the MIT license. Happy New Year, Dietmar Schwertberger dietmar(a)schwertberger.de <P><A HREF="https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxglade/files/wxglade/1.0.1/">wxGlade 1.0.1</A> - GUI builder for wxPython (31-Dec-20)

PyCA cryptography 37.0.1 released
by Paul Kehrer April 27, 2022

April 27, 2022

PyCA cryptography 37.0.0 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/#v37-0-1): * Fixed an issue where parsing an encrypted private key with the public loader functions would hang waiting for console input on OpenSSL 3.0.x rather than raising an error. * Restored some legacy symbols for older pyOpenSSL users. These will be removed again in the future, so pyOpenSSL users should still upgrade to the latest version of that package when they upgrade cryptography. -Paul Kehrer (reaperhulk)

PyCA cryptography 37.0.0 released
by Paul Kehrer April 26, 2022

April 26, 2022

PyCA cryptography 37.0.0 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/#v37-0-0): * Updated Windows, macOS, and Linux wheels to be compiled with OpenSSL 3.0.2. * BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Dropped support for LibreSSL 2.9.x and 3.0.x. The new minimum LibreSSL version is 3.1+. * BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE: Removed signer and verifier methods from the public key and private key classes. These methods were originally deprecated in version 2.0, but had an extended deprecation timeline due to usage. Any remaining users should transition to sign and verify. * Deprecated OpenSSL 1.1.0 support. OpenSSL 1.1.0 is no longer supported by the OpenSSL project. The next release of cryptography will be the last to support compiling with OpenSSL 1.1.0. * Deprecated Python 3.6 support. Python 3.6 is no longer supported by the Python core team. Support for Python 3.6 will be removed in a future cryptography release. * Deprecated the current minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) of 1.41.0. In the next release we will raise MSRV to 1.48.0. Users with the latest pip will typically get a wheel and not need Rust installed, but check Installation for documentation on installing a newer rustc if required. * Deprecated CAST5, SEED, IDEA, and Blowfish because they are legacy algorithms with extremely low usage. These will be removed in a future version of cryptography. * Added limited support for distinguished names containing a bit string. * We now ship universal2 wheels on macOS, which contain both arm64 and x86_64 architectures. Users on macOS should upgrade to the latest pip to ensure they can use this wheel, although we will continue to ship x86_64 specific wheels for now to ease the transition. * This will be the final release for which we ship manylinux2010 wheels. Going forward the minimum supported manylinux ABI for our wheels will be manylinux2014. The vast majority of users will continue to receive manylinux wheels provided they have an up to date pip. For PyPy wheels this release already requires manylinux2014 for compatibility with binaries distributed by upstream. * Added support for multiple OCSPSingleResponse in a OCSPResponse. * Restored support for signing certificates and other structures in X.509 with SHA3 hash algorithms. * TripleDES is disabled in FIPS mode. * Added support for serialization of PKCS#12 CA friendly names/aliases in serialize_key_and_certificates() * Added support for 12-15 byte (96 to 120 bit) nonces to AESOCB3. This class previously supported only 12 byte (96 bit). * Added support for AESSIV when using OpenSSL 3.0.0+. * Added support for serializing PKCS7 structures from a list of certificates with serialize_certificates. * Added support for parsing RFC 4514 strings with from_rfc4514_string(). * Added AUTO to PSS. This can be used to verify a signature where the salt length is not already known. * Added DIGEST_LENGTH to PSS. This constant will set the salt length to the same length as the PSS hash algorithm. * Added support for loading RSA-PSS key types with load_pem_private_key() and load_der_private_key(). This functionality is limited to OpenSSL 1.1.1e+ and loads the key as a normal RSA private key, discarding the PSS constraint information. -Paul Kehrer (reaperhulk)

ANN: eGenix Antispam Bot for Telegram 0.3.0
by eGenix Team April 25, 2022

April 25, 2022

________________________________________________________________________ ANNOUNCING eGenix Antispam Bot for Telegram Version 0.3.0 A simple, yet effective bot implementation to address Telegram signup spam. This announcement is also available on our web-site for online reading: https://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-Antispam-Bot-for-Telegram-0.3.0-… ________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION eGenix has long been running a local user group meeting in Düsseldorf called Python Meeting Düsseldorf and we are using a Telegram group for most of our communication. In the early days, the group worked well and we only had few spammers joining it, which we could well handle manually. More recently, this has changed dramatically. We are seeing between 2-5 spam signups per day, often at night. Furthermore, the signups accounts are not always easy to spot as spammers, since they often come with profile images, descriptions, etc. With the bot, we now have a more flexible way of dealing with the problem. Please see our project page for details and download links: https://www.egenix.com/library/telegram-antispam-bot/ ________________________________________________________________________ FEATURES * Low impact mode of operation: the bot tries to keep noise in the group to a minimum * Several challenge mechanisms to choose from, more can be added as needed * Flexible and easy to use configuration * Only needs a few MB of RAM, so can easily be put into a container or run on a Raspberry Pi * Can handle quite a bit of load due to the async implementation * Works with Python 3.9+ * MIT open source licensed ________________________________________________________________________ NEWS The 0.3.0 release fixes a few bugs and adds more features: * Added new challenge ListItemChallenge * Added new config variables MAX_FAILED_CHALLENGES to limit the number of failed challenge responses. Defaults to 3. * Added docker-compose config example to sources * Fixed display of the user name to always show the full name, where available. * Added work-around for pyrogram to not create session files inside the package dir when running the bot in -m mode * Fixed bug to make file logging work * Fixed bug in ban time handling; this now works correctly It has been battle-tested in production for more than two months already and is proving to be a really useful tool to help with Telegram group administration. _______________________________________________________________________ INFORMATION About eGenix (http://www.egenix.com/): eGenix is a database focused software project, consulting and product company delivering expert services and professional quality products for companies, Python users and developers.

NumPy 1.21.6 released
by Charles R Harris April 12, 2022

April 12, 2022

Hi All, On behalf of the NumPy team I am pleased to announce the release of NumPy 1.21.6. NumPy 1.21.6 is a very small release that achieves two things: - Backs out the mistaken backport of C++ code into 1.21.5. - Provides a 32 bit Windows wheel for Python 3.10. The provision of the 32 bit wheel is intended to make life easier for oldest-supported-numpy. The Python versions supported in this release are 3.7-3.10. If you want to compile your own version using gcc-11 you will need to use gcc-11.2+ to avoid problems. Wheels can be downloaded from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/numpy/1.21.6/>; source archives, release notes, and wheel hashes are available on Github <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.21.6>. Linux users will need pip >= 0.19.3 in order to install manylinux2010 and manylinux2014 wheels. A recent version of pip is needed to install the universal2 macos wheels. Cheers, Charles Harris
