[Numpy-discussion] ANN: Spyder v2.0.12

[Pierre Raybaut]

Hi all,

I am pleased to announced that Spyder v2.0.12 has just been released
(changelog available here:
http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/wiki/ChangeLog).
This is the last maintenance release of version 2.0, until the forthcoming
v2.1 release which is scheduled for the end of the month (see the roadmap
here: http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/wiki/Roadmap).

Spyder (previously known as Pydee) is a free open-source Python development
environment providing MATLAB-like features in a simple and light-weighted
software, available for Windows XP/Vista/7, GNU/Linux and MacOS X:
http://spyderlib.googlecode.com/.

Spyder is also a library (spyderlib) providing *pure-Python* (PyQt/PySide)
editors widgets:
  * source code editor:
    * efficient syntax highlighting (Python, C/C++, Fortran, html/css,
gettext, ...)
    * code completion and calltips (powered by `rope`)
    * real-time code analysis (powered by `pyflakes`)
    * etc. (occurrence highlighting, ...)
  * NumPy array editor
  * Dictionnary editor
  * and many more widgets ("find in files", "text import wizard", ...)

For those interested by these powerful widgets, note that:
  * spyderlib v2.0 and v2.1 are compatible with PyQt >= v4.4 (API #1)
  * spyderlib v2.2 is compatible with both PyQt >= v4.6 (API #2) and PySide
(already available through the main source repository)
(Spyder IDE itself -even v2.2- is not fully compatible with PySide -- only
the "light" version is currently working)

Cheers,
Pierre
