Nikola v8.2.4 is out!
by Chris Warrick 30 Apr '23

30 Apr '23

On behalf of the Nikola team, I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of Nikola v8.2.4. This release comes with some new features and a handful of bug fixes. What is Nikola? =============== Nikola is a static site and blog generator, written in Python. It can use Mako and Jinja2 templates, and input in many popular markup formats, such as reStructuredText and Markdown — and can even turn Jupyter Notebooks into blog posts! It also supports image galleries, and is multilingual. Nikola is flexible, and page builds are extremely fast, courtesy of doit (which is rebuilding only what has been changed). Find out more at the website: https://getnikola.com/ Downloads ========= Install using `pip install Nikola`. Changes ======= Features -------- * Add a `-q`, `--ignore-query-strings` option to ignore query strings for internal links, allowing their use for cache busting * Update reST stylesheets (Issue #3657) * Add a `--timeout` parameter to the `check` plugin, defaulting to 30s. (Issue #3643) * GZIP compression is now deterministic for automatic deploys (Issue #3650) Bugfixes -------- * Fix failures to build with a "Document is empty" error in default themes (Issue #3679) * Fix `PAGE_INDEX` skipping generation when there exists a conflicting post * Fix RSS generation of galleries containing WebP images, which caused an unhandled exception due to not having a known MIME type (Issue #3671) * Fix `auto` command infinite loop (Issue #3677) * Fix API URL in CSS and JS minifiers (Issue #3658) * Fix `:align: center` for images in reST (Issue #3657) * `GZIP_COMMAND` parsing on `win32` platforms (Issue #3649)

[Python announce] dictf 1.0.0 released!
by Eric Mendes 25 Apr '23

25 Apr '23

Hi, everyone! I'm not sure if this is useful to anyone, nor original. It's a problem you can easily solve with a dict comprehension, but I love a pretty syntax, so I made this: https://github.com/Eric-Mendes/dictf It can be especially useful for filtering huge dicts before turning into a DataFrame, with the same pandas syntax. Already on pypi: https://pypi.org/project/dictf/ It enables you to use dicts as shown below:

PyEmpaq 0.3 released
by Facundo Batista 19 Apr '23

19 Apr '23

I'm happy to announce the release of PyEmpaq 0.3. PyEmpaq is a simple but powerful Python packer to run any project with any virtualenv dependencies anywhwere. 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. The only requirement is Python to be already installed. What's new in this version? - Added 'include' and 'exclude' configuration options to have full control on what is inside the packed file. - Reuse the existing project directory only if it has a complete previous installation. - Support the declaration of a minimum Python version to run the packed project. - Expose the .pyz path to the project being run. - Now used logging to expose messages to developer and users, with different verbosity levels. - Set up the proper PATH in the end command environment. - Added a -V/--version option to just print the version and exit. - Run tests (unit and integration) in Linux, MacOS and Windows. You can check the whole documentation, including demos and examples, in the docs page: https://pyempaq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ The project: https://github.com/facundobatista/pyempaq/ Enjoy, -- .
