pyswarm 0.7.0 released - MDD for Python & PostgreSQL Generated Scripts for Installation of Python Packages and PostgreSQL Databases 23 APRIL 2007: pyswarm 0.7.0 is the "Young Pickerl" mile-stone release of pyswarm. One of the goals for this prototype was to proof by a few features, that model-driven software development isn't only limited to improvements of the creation of Python applications, but can automatize even the deployment of such generated Python packages and the PostgreSQL databases. Please visit http://pyswarm.sourceforge.net/ for downloads or detail information. Version 0.7.0 uses a given UML model to create distutils-based setup artefacts that allow the quick and easy installation of the generated Python packages. Since pyswarm is still a prototype under heavy development, the applied Python setup procedure does not support the distribution over multiple nodes yet, so the entire application is installed as a single Python site-package on the local host. Each custom application also contains a Python script (initdb.py) that can be used to set-up the corresponding PostgreSQL databases of the application, either one single database, all databases on a particular host, or just all databases that are specified in the UML model. initdb.py is also capable to create corresponding login-roles or to drop and re-create databases, which should help developers to play quickly with new applications. In addition, 0.7.0 now encourages the consequent use of pyswarm naming conventions based on Python Style Guide (PEP #8) in the custom model and application domain. I have also fixed some bugs which I detected while working on the new features. The pyswarm documentation and the projects example directory have been updated and can be seperately downloaded from the project web-site. In order to test the SDK yourself download of the projects directory is strongly recommended. For detail information please read the CHANGES.txt coming with the distribution. This release is purposed for study only. It is not recommended to use for production environment. Anastasios Hatzis About pyswarm pyswarm is an active code-generator for model-driven development (MDD) of database-centric and n-tier server applications. Business logic is written entirely in Python and can be customized either in UML models or in complex Python method implementations, as elegant and powerful as code in Python can be. PostgreSQL is used as reliable database-server by the generated business logic components to store persistent entity objects. pyswarm is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). The licensor is the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE).
