Build 125 of Python Extensions for Windows available.
by Mark Hammond May 5, 1999

May 5, 1999

There is a new build of the Python Extensions for Windows available at http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond All sources are also updated. This is largely a "stability" release over build 124. The main focus has been on fixing bugs, and new functionality has only been added where the chances of breakage are tiny. The key changes are listed below. If there are any problems, please let me know ASAP. Thanks, Mark. * Installation changes: Installer now seeks out duplicate winerror.py files (a common source of installation errors when dynwin is installed). Also refuses to install if pywintypes15.dll or pythoncom15.dll exist in the system directory. * Numerous editor fixes in Pythonwin * win32net module now offers very complete coverage of Windows NT Networking APIs, and a new demo. * win32wnet and wincerapi added. win32wnet from Scott Cothrell even includes demos and HTML documentation. * DCOM has better support via win32com.client.DispatchEx() - see the COM readme. * Few bugs in win32com.server.policy mean events should now work correctly! Event test item works again. * Active Scripting bugs that prevented global members working fixed. Active Debugging didnt work with 1.5.2 - fixed! <A HREF="http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/">Python Extensions for Windows, Build 125</A> - new build of Pythonwin, COM, Active Scripting, Win32 API extensions, for Python 1.5.1 and 1.5.2.

mxCGIPython Version 0.2.0
by M.-A. Lemburg May 5, 1999

May 5, 1999

ANNOUNCING: mxCGIPython Version 0.2.0 Setup scripts to build one-file easy-to-install Python interpreters >From the web-page: If you are in the CGI scripting business, then you know how hard it can sometimes be getting the sysadmins to install Python for you. I ran into such situations a few times. Fortunately it's not a big problem, if you can get a grip on a pre-compiled binary for the machine the ISP is running. Since installing a complete package with many files through a FTP-only connection is not exactly fun, we need something different here. This were the freeze tool can help: with it you can wrap the interpreter together with the whole standard library and the builtin modules into one single file. All that remains is to FTP that binary to the ISP and off you go. Ok, so much for the theory. Now where do you get that pre-compiled binary from ? That's where this campaign starts... I encourage everybody on this list and in the news group to have a look at this package and help build a library of pre-compiled single file interpreters. This would certainly help a lot of CGI writers out there in making a decision whether to use Python or Perl...

Audiopy 1.0
by Barry A. Warsaw May 5, 1999

May 5, 1999

Audiopy is a program to control the Solaris audio device. You can select both the input and output devices, and set the output gain. Audiopy can be run either as a stand-alone command line script, or as a Tkinter based GUI application. Audiopy should work with any version of Python after 1.5, but AFAIK only works on the Solaris operating system (ports to e.g. Linux would be appreciated!). Note that your version of Python must have been built with the sunaudiodev module enabled. It is not enabled by default however! You will need to edit your Modules/Setup file, uncomment the sunaudiodev module spec line and rebuild Python. Audiopy 1.0 is an update to the version distributed with Python 1.5.2 (in Tools/audiopy) and adds the ability to set the output volume. More information is available on my "PyWare" page http://www.python.org/~bwarsaw/software/pyware.html -Barry bwarsaw(a)python.org <a href="http://www.python.org/~bwarsaw/software/pyware.html"> Audiopy 1.0</a> - a Solaris audio device controller.

Pynche 1.0
by Barry A. Warsaw May 5, 1999

May 5, 1999

Pynche is a 100% pure Python Tkinter based color editor, with a funky different kind of way of selecting colors. Pynche works with Python 1.5.x and Tk 8.0.x on both Un*x and Windows, although you probably need a 24 bit screen to get the best effect. Pynche also provides an API similar to the standard tkColorChooser module for embedding in other applications (e.g, Grail 0.6 uses Pynche as its color editor). Version 1.0 is an update from the version distributed with Python 1.5.2 (in Tools/pynche). It adds a few new features, such as the ability to load different color name databases. Included are databases containing the "web-safe" colors, the HTML 4.0 color names, two files of "browser-safe" color names, and the X11 color names. More information is available on my "PyWare" page http://www.python.org/~bwarsaw/software/pyware.html -Barry bwarsaw(a)python.org <a href="http://www.python.org/~bwarsaw/software/pyware.html"> Pynche 1.0</a> - a Tkinter based color editor.

Release of Scintilla 0.91 and Tide 0.91
by neilh＠hare.net.au May 5, 1999

May 5, 1999

Announce: Release of Scintilla 0.91 and Tide 0.91 Scintilla is a free source code editing component for Win32 and GTK+. Tide is a Tiny Integrated Development Environment based upon Scintilla. This is a major release of Scintilla, containing GTK+/Linux support for the first time. Most of the features of the Windows version are working in the GTK+ version and I hope to achieve feature parity soon. Because of a change to the messages used to send events from Scintilla to the containing application, this release is not completely compatible with the current build 124 of PythonWin. The oncoming PythonWin build 125 should be compatible with Scintilla 0.91. Web site: http://hare.net.au/~neilh/ScintillaTide.html Scintilla and Tide come with complete C++ source code. The license for using Scintilla and Tide is similar to that of Python containing very few restrictions, and allowing use in any free project or commercial product.

Python documentation updated!
by Fred L. Drake May 5, 1999

May 5, 1999

The documentation for Python 1.5.2 is now available. The online version is available at: http://www.python.org/doc/ Archives of the documentation in HTML, LaTeX, PDF, and PostScript formats are available at the same location, and may also be downloaded via FTP from: ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/python/doc/ If you have any questions or comments on the documentation, please send email to: python-docs(a)python.org Many modules have been documented (166 total!), including both new and old modules. There have been some additional refinements of the "look" of the online version, especially for those of you with CSS enabled in your Web browsers. There is also more extensive hyperlinking within the Python Library Reference for your convenience. A new document, "Documenting Python", is now included. Though still young, this is a useful reference for documentation contributors. It includes a great deal of information on the markup used for the Python documentation, as well as a discussion of where we'll go from here. Windows users: If you installed Python using the installer rather than by building from source, you can get the updated documentation by downloading the HTML archive and unpacking it into the "Doc" directory of your installation. Some re-organization of the documentation area on the Web site should make it easier to locate and download documentation. Thanks go out to all the individuals who have contributed sections or sent in comments and bug reports; this release of the documentation is substantially better thanks to the efforts of the Python community!
