Hi everybody, Just uploaded execnet-1.0.1 featuring a new motto: execnet is about rapid-python deployment, be it for multiple CPUs, different platforms or python versions. This release brings a bunch of refinements and most importantly more robust termination, handling of CTRL-C and automatically tested documentation:: http://codespeak.net/execnet have fun, holger 1.0.1 -------------------------------- - revamp and better structure documentation - new method: gateway.hasreceiver() returns True if the gateway is still receive-active. remote_status now only carries information about remote execution status. - new: execnet.MultiChannel provides basic iteration/contain interface - new: execnet.Group can be indexed by integer - new: group.makegateway() uses group.default_spec if no spec is given and the execnet.default_group uses ``popen`` as a default spec. - have popen-gateways use imports instead of source-strings, also improves debugging/tracebacks, as a side effect popen-gateway startup can be substantially faster (>30%) - refine internal gateway exit/termination procedure and introduce group.terminate(timeout) which will attempt to kill all subprocesses that did not terminate within time. - EOFError on channel.receive/waitclose if the other side unexpectedly went away. When a gateway exits it now internally sends an explicit termination message instead of abruptly closing. - introduce a timeout parameter to channel.receive() and default to periodically internally wake up to let KeyboardInterrupts pass through. - EXECNET_DEBUG=2 will cause tracing to go to stderr, which with popen slave gateways will relay back tracing to the instantiator process. 1.0.0 -------------------------------- * introduce execnet.Group for managing gateway creation and termination. Introduce execnet.default_group through which all "global" calls are routed. cleanup gateway termination. All Gateways get an id through which they can be retrieved from a group object. * deprecate execnet.XYZGateway in favour of direct makegateway() calls. * refine socketserver-examples, experimentally introduce a way to indirectly setup a socket server ("installvia") through a gateway url. * refine and automatically test documentation examples 1.0.0b3 -------------------------------- * fix EXECNET_DEBUG to work with win32 * add support for serializing longs, sets and frozensets (thanks Benjamin Peterson) * introduce remote_status() method which on the low level gives information about the remote side of a gateway * disallow explicit close in remote_exec situation * perform some more detailed tracing with EXECNET_DEBUG 1.0.0b2 -------------------------------- * make internal protocols more robust against serialization failures * fix a seralization bug with nested tuples containing empty tuples (thanks to ronny for discovering it) * setting the environment variable EXECNET_DEBUG will generate per process trace-files for debugging 1.0.0b1 ---------------------------- * added new examples for NumPy, Jython, IronPython * improved documentation * include apipkg.py for lazy-importing * integrated new serializer code from Benjamin Peterson * improved support for Jython-2.5.1 1.0.0alpha2 ---------------------------- * improve documentation, new website * use sphinx for documentation, added boilerplate files and setup.py * fixes for standalone usage, adding boilerplate files * imported py/execnet and made it work standalone
