magic-wormhole 0.13.0
by meejah＠meejah.ca Aug. 23, 2023

Aug. 23, 2023

magic-wormhole is a library and command-line tool which makes it possible to _securely_ and _easily_ get arbitrary-sized files and directories (or short pieces of text) from one computer to another. By making use of a "mailbox" server on the public internet and the SPAKE2 algorithm, short human-pronouncable codes are used to obtain an end-to-end encrypted connection (peer-to-peer in favourable network conditions). This server cannot see plaintext and could make a single attempt to subvert a … [View More]connection (the same as any other attacker). More details are provided in the documentation: https://magic-wormhole.readthedocs.io/en/latest/welcome.html#design RELEASE 0.13.0 -------------- https://pypi.python.org/pypi/magic-wormhole/0.13.0 New in this release: * Python 2.7 support is dropped (#457) * Python 3.5 and 3.6 are past their EOL date and support is dropped (#448) * SECURITY: Replace "weird" characters in receiver's display (#476) * SECURITY: all past binary signatures are now in Git * Use the HKDF primitive from "cryptography" (#462) * `wormhole receive` now accepts `--allocate-code` so that a sender can use `--code` to send them a file (#450) * Stream to disk after 10MB on directory receive (#447) * Handle SSH keys with comments properly (#434) * Properly parse IPv6 Transit address (#461) Also of interest to developers in this release are a few changes to the experimental Dilation implementation and description; some documentation cleanups; dropping of dependencies; and some test cleanups. The Dilation changes properly send `use-version` and split messages over Noise-sized chunks more seamlessly (allowing the specified 4-byte maximum message size at the application layer). For packagers: PyPI has stopped serving detached signature files. Going forward, all signatures will be committed to Git (in the signatures/ subdirectory). All available signatures from PyPI for historic releases have been added here too. Thanks to the many contributors of bug-fixes, patches, and other help with this release: * Jelle van der Waa https://github.com/jelly (#466) * Matthias Riße https://github.com/matrss (#432, #434) * meejah https://meejah.ca (#484, #481, #483, #455, #477, #464, #456, #460) * Perseid https://github.com/Perseid (#476) * FelisDiligens https://github.com/FelisDiligens (#461) * Casey Link https://github.com/Ramblurr (#468) * Kian-Meng Ang https://github.com/kianmeng (#452) * sitiom https://github.com/sitiom (#436) * Sagar Howal https://github.com/sagarhowal (#410) * Adam Sroka https://github.com/adam-sroka (#403, #404) * vu3rdd https://github.com/vu3rdd (reviews) Thanks, meejah [View Less]

by eGenix Team Aug. 21, 2023

Aug. 21, 2023

*ANNOUNCING* eGenix Antispam Bot for Telegram Version 0.5.0 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-0.5.0-… ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *INTRODUCTION* eGenix <https://egenix.com/> has long been running a local Python user group meeting in Düsseldorf called /… [View More]Python Meeting Düsseldorf <https://pyddf.de/>/ 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 0.5.0 release fixes a few bugs and adds more features: * Added support for muting the bot messages and enabled this per default; thanks to Alexander Ananchenko * Added support for also removing the approval message after a timeout (not enabled per default); thanks to Alexander Ananchenko * Bot conversations are now logged before removing them; this makes it easier to debug challenges (some may be too easy) 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.

Vulture 2.9
by Jendrik Seipp Aug. 21, 2023

Aug. 21, 2023

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. … [View More]

NumPy 1.26.0b1 released
by Charles R Harris Aug. 14, 2023

Aug. 14, 2023

Hi All, On behalf of the NumPy team, I'm pleased to announce the release of NumPy 1.26.0b1. The NumPy 1.26.0 release is a continuation of the 1.25.x release cycle with the addition of Python 3.12.0 support. Python 3.12 dropped distutils, consequently supporting it required finding a replacement for the setup.py/distutils based build system NumPy was using. We have chosen to use the Meson build system instead, and this is the first NumPy release supporting it. This is also the first release … [View More]that supports Cython 3.0 in addition to retaining 0.29.X compatibility. Supporting those two upgrades was a large project, over 100 files have been touched in this release. The changelog doesn't capture the full extent of the work, special thanks to Ralf Gommers, Sayed Adel, Stéfan van der Walt, and Matti Picus who did much of the work in the main development branch. The highlights of this release are: - Python 3.12.0 support. - Cython 3.0.0 compatibility. - Use of the Meson build system - Updated SIMD support The Python versions supported by this release are 3.9-3.12. Note that no 32 bit wheels are provided. Wheels can be downloaded from PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/numpy/1.26.0b1/>; source archives, release notes, and wheel hashes are available on Github <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.26.0b1>. *Contributors* A total of 11 people contributed to this release. People with a "+" by their names contributed a patch for the first time. - Bas van Beek - Charles Harris - Matti Picus - Melissa Weber Mendonça - Ralf Gommers - Sayed Adel - Sebastian Berg - Stefan van der Walt - Tyler Reddy - Warren Weckesser *Pull requests merged* A total of 18 pull requests were merged for this release. - #24305: MAINT: Prepare 1.26.x branch for development - #24308: MAINT: Massive update of files from main for numpy 1.26 - #24322: CI: fix wheel builds on the 1.26.x branch - #24326: BLD: update openblas to newer version - #24327: TYP: Trim down the ``_NestedSequence.__getitem__`` signature - #24328: BUG: fix choose refcount leak - #24337: TST: fix running the test suite in builds without BLAS/LAPACK - #24338: BUG: random: Fix generation of nan by dirichlet. - #24340: MAINT: Dependabot updates from main - #24342: MAINT: Add back NPY_RUN_MYPY_IN_TESTSUITE=1 - #24353: MAINT: Update ``extbuild.py`` from main. - #24356: TST: fix distutils tests for deprecations in recent setuptools... - #24375: MAINT: Update cibuildwheel to version 2.15.0 - #24381: MAINT: Fix codespaces setup.sh script - #24403: ENH: Vendor meson for multi-target build support - #24404: BLD: vendor meson-python to make the Windows builds with SIMD... - #24405: BLD, SIMD: The meson CPU dispatcher implementation - #24406: MAINT: Remove versioneer *Build system changes* In this release, NumPy has switched to Meson as the build system and meson-python as the build backend. Installing NumPy or building a wheel can be done with standard tools like ``pip`` and ``pypa/build``. The following are supported: - Regular installs: ``pip install numpy`` or (in a cloned repo) ``pip install .`` - Building a wheel: ``python -m build`` (preferred), or ``pip wheel .`` - Editable installs: ``pip install -e . --no-build-isolation`` - Development builds through the custom CLI implemented with spin <https://github.com/scientific-python/spin>: ``spin build``. All the regular ``pip`` and ``pypa/build`` flags (e.g., ``--no-build-isolation``) should work as expected. *NumPy-specific build customization* Many of the NumPy-specific ways of customizing builds have changed. The ``NPY_*`` environment variables which control BLAS/LAPACK, SIMD, threading, and other such options are no longer supported, nor is a ``site.cfg`` file to select BLAS and LAPACK. Instead, there are command-line flags that can be passed to the build via ``pip``/``build``'s config-settings interface. These flags are all listed in the ``meson_options.txt`` file in the root of the repo. Detailed documented will be available before the final 1.26.0 release; for now please see `the SciPy building from source <http://scipy.github.io/devdocs/building/index.html> docs since most build customization works in an almost identical way in SciPy as it does in NumPy. *Build dependencies* While the runtime dependencies of NumPy have not changed, the build dependencies have. Because we temporarily vendor Meson and meson-python, there are several new dependencies - please see the ``[build-system]`` section of ``pyproject.toml`` for details. *Troubleshooting* This build system change is quite large. In case of unexpected issues, it is still possible to use a ``setup.py``-based build as a temporary workaround (on Python 3.9-3.11, not 3.12), by copying ``pyproject.toml.setuppy`` to ``pyproject.toml``. However, please open an issue with details on the NumPy issue tracker. We aim to phase out ``setup.py`` builds as soon as possible, and therefore would like to see all potential blockers surfaced early on in the 1.26.0 release cycle. Cheers, Charles Harris [View Less]
