Subject: ANN: pysnmp 4.3.0 released
Message-ID: <B42938F4-4AE5-4A12-9D35-28AC21DB676E@glas.net>

Dear all,

It is my pleasure to announce the next major version of the pysnmp package (4.3.0) on pypi.

This release brings many significant features:

* Pure-Python, automatic, on the fly MIB parsing.
* Rewritten synchronous high-level interface: walking SNMP agent becomes a matter of exhausting Python generator!
* Rewritten Twisted interface: now it is also high-level.
* Shiny new high-level asyncio/trollius interfaces.

Quite a lot of long-pending fixes ultimately went live. Despite many changes, backward compatibility with previous releases is largely preserved.

Finally, proper Sphinx-based documentation (http://pysnmp.sf.net <http://pysnmp.sf.net/>) now accompanies important pieces of the code.

Feedback, bug reports and suggestions are welcome!

ANNOUNCING

                 eGenix PyRun - One file Python Runtime

                            Version 2.1.1


         An easy-to-use single file relocatable Python run-time -
           available for Linux, Mac OS X and Unix platforms,
                 with support for Python 2.6, 2.7 and
                     **now also for Python 3.4**.


This announcement is also available on our web-site for online reading:

________________________________________________________________________

INTRODUCTION

eGenix PyRun is our open source, one file, no installation version of
Python, making the distribution of a Python interpreter to run based
scripts and applications to Unix based systems as simple as copying a
single file.

eGenix PyRun's executable only needs 11MB for Python 2 and 13MB for
Python 3, but still supports most Python application and scripts - and
it can be compressed to just 3-4MB using upx, if needed.

Compared to a regular Python installation of typically 100MB on disk,
eGenix PyRun is ideal for applications and scripts that need to be
distributed to several target machines, client installations or
customers.

It makes "installing" Python on a Unix based system as simple as
copying a single file.

eGenix has been using eGenix PyRun internally in the mxODBC Connect
Server product since 2008 with great success and decided to make it
available as a stand-alone open-source product.

We provide both the source archive to build your own eGenix PyRun, as
well as pre-compiled binaries for Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X, as 32-
and 64-bit versions. The binaries can be downloaded manually, or you
can let our automatic install script install-pyrun take care of the
installation: ./install-pyrun dir and you're done.

Please see the product page for more details:

NEWS

This patch level release of eGenix PyRun 2.1 comes with the following
enhancements:

Enhancements / Changes
----------------------

 * Upgraded eGenix PyRun to work with and use Python 2.7.10 per
   default.

 * eGenix PyRun will now adjust sys.base_prefix and
   sys.base_exec_prefix in the same way it does for sys.prefix and
   sys.exec_prefix. This is needed for Python 3.4 in order to have
   distutils find the Python.h include file when compiling C
   extensions.

 * PyRun for Python 3.4 will now show the correct file name of scripts
   in tracebacks when running them directly, instead of just
   '<string>'.

 * The new internal _sysconfigdata module used by the sysconfig module
   is now patched with the eGenix PyRun config data as well, to make
   sure that PyRun doesn't ship with two sets of build config
   variables.

install-pyrun Quick Install Enhancements
---------------------------------------------

eGenix PyRun includes a shell script called install-pyrun, which
greatly simplifies installation of PyRun. It works much like the
virtualenv shell script used for creating new virtual environments
(except that there's nothing virtual about PyRun environments).

    https://downloads.egenix.com/python/install-pyrun

With the script, an eGenix PyRun installation is as simple as running:

    ./install-pyrun targetdir

This will automatically detect the platform, download and install the
right pyrun version into targetdir.

We have updated this script since the last release:

 * Updated install-pyrun to default to eGenix PyRun 2.1.1 and its
   feature set.

Message-ID: <CAFrp1voornTo+8kj5eGk1B=dX0pUzOVk5ifgy47jb0vQW3kNag@mail.gmail.com>

=======================
Announcing bcolz 0.11.3
=======================

What's new
==========

Implemented new feature (#255): bcolz.zeros() can create new ctables
too, either empty or filled with zeros. (#256 @FrancescElies
@FrancescAlted).

Also, in previous, non announced versions (0.11.1 and 0.11.2), new
dependencies were added and other fixes are there too.

For a more detailed change log, see:

https://github.com/Blosc/bcolz/blob/master/RELEASE_NOTES.rst


What it is
==========

*bcolz* provides columnar and compressed data containers that can live
either on-disk or in-memory.  Column storage allows for efficiently
querying tables with a large number of columns.  It also allows for
cheap addition and removal of column.  In addition, bcolz objects are
compressed by default for reducing memory/disk I/O needs. The
compression process is carried out internally by Blosc, an
extremely fast meta-compressor that is optimized for binary data. Lastly,
high-performance iterators (like ``iter()``, ``where()``) for querying
the objects are provided.

bcolz can use numexpr internally so as to accelerate many vector and
query operations (although it can use pure NumPy for doing so too).
numexpr optimizes the memory usage and use several cores for doing the
computations, so it is blazing fast.  Moreover, since the carray/ctable
containers can be disk-based, and it is possible to use them for
seamlessly performing out-of-memory computations.

bcolz has minimal dependencies (NumPy), comes with an exhaustive test
suite and fully supports both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms.  Also, it is
typically tested on both UNIX and Windows operating systems.

Together, bcolz and the Blosc compressor, are finally fulfilling the
promise of accelerating memory I/O, at least for some real scenarios:

Subject: ANN: PyInstaller 3.0
Message-ID: <8ebd8c3e-8ad8-4f81-8731-4e61cf9f62f8@googlegroups.com>

Hello everybody,

on behalf of the PyInstaller development team I'm happy to announce
PyInstaller 3.0 after two years of development.

   http://www.pyinstaller.org


=== What it is ===

PyInstaller bundles a Python application and all its dependencies into a 
single package. The user can run the packaged app without installing a Python 
interpreter or any modules.

PyInstaller reads a Python script written by you. It analyzes your code to 
discover every other module and library your script needs in order to execute. 
Then it collects copies of all those files - including the active Python 
interpreter! - and puts them with your script in a single folder, or 
optionally in a single executable file.

PyInstaller is tested against Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. However, it is not 
a cross-compiler: to make a Windows app you run PyInstaller in Windows; to 
make a Linux app you run it in Linux, etc. PyInstaller has been used 
successfully with AIX, Solaris, and FreeBSD, but is not tested against them.


=== Changes ===

Major changes for this release are:

- Python 3 support (3.3 / 3.4 / 3.5).
- Remove support for Python 2.6 and lower.
- Full unicode support in the bootloader (#824, #1224, #1323, #1340, #1396)
- (OSX) Executables built with PyInstaller under OS X can now be digitally
  signed.
- (OSX) 32bit precompiled bootloader no longer distributed, only 64bit.
- (Windows) for 32bit bootloader enable flag LARGEADDRESSAWARE that allows
  to use 4GB of RAM.
- New hooks: amazon-product-api, appy, certifi, countrycode, cryptography, gi,
  httplib2, jsonschema, keyring, lensfunpy, mpl_toolkits.basemap, ncclient,
  netCDF4, OpenCV, osgeo, patsy, PsychoPy, pycountry, pycparser, PyExcelerate,
  PyGobject, pymssql, PyNaCl, PySiDe.QtCore, PySide.QtGui, rawpy, requests,
  scapy, scipy, six, SpeechRecognition, u1db, weasyprint, Xlib.
- Add support for automatically including data files from eggs.
- Add support for directory eggs support.
- Add support for all kind of namespace packages.
- Add support for ``pkgutil.extend_path()``.
- New option ``--key`` to obfuscate the Python bytecode.

The full changelog for this release can be found at:

   https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyInstaller/3.0


=== License ===

PyInstaller is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License
as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License,
or (at your option) any later version.

Bootloader Exception

In addition to the permissions in the GNU General Public License, the
authors give you unlimited permission to link or embed compiled bootloader
and related files into combinations with other programs, and to distribute
those combinations without any restriction coming from the use of those
files. (The General Public License restrictions do apply in other respects;
for example, they cover modification of the files, and distribution when
not linked into a combine executable.)


=== Feedback ===

We're eager to listen to your feedback on using PyInstaller:

Subject: fades 4 beta
Message-ID: <CAM09pzQm8iwvQszPDy4GONZyPk03WH7=O66V4H04O4JU0PFMmA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello all,

We're glad to announce the PRE-release of fades 4. Yes, we're releasing
fades 4 beta.

fades, a FAst DEpendencies for Scripts, is a system that automatically
handles the virtualenvs in the simple cases normally found when
writing scripts or simple programs.

It will automagically create a new virtualenv (or reuse a previous
created one), installing the necessary dependencies, and execute
your script inside that virtualenv.

You only need to execute the script with fades (instead of Python) and
also mark the required dependencies. More details here:

    https://github.com/PyAr/fades/


What's new in this release?

- New option to use iPython as the interactive interpreter: --ipython
  (thanks Ariel Rossanigo)

- Now it's possible to execute a program inside the virtualenv, with -x
  (thanks Ricardo Kirkner)

  For example, it's possible to create a project in Django without having
  Django installed in your system, doing:

    fades -d django -x manage startproject foo

- Can execute fades as a Python's module (thanks Javi Mansilla)

    python3 -m fades <...etc...>

- Dependencies can be specified in docstrings

- If you want to fiddle with lower layers options, can send parameters
  to virtualend or pip.

- We have a logo!

- Now we run the fades tests using fades itself, no need to install
  anything previously

- Other minor bugfixes and improvements


To get it:

As this is a beta release, just get it from the repository:

    https://github.com/PyAr/fades/

Once cloned, you can install it (classic "sudo python3 setup.py install")
or just use it from that directory ("bin/fades").


Help / questions:

- You can ask any question or send any recommendation or request
  to the mailing list.

    http://listas.python.org.ar/mailman/listinfo/fades

- Also, you can open an issue here (please do if you find any problem!).

    https://github.com/PyAr/fades/issues/new


Thanks in advance for your time!

Message-ID: <3nVycL2DDfzNHx@mail.python.org>

There is a new version of frigcal, a Python 3.X/tkinter desktop GUI calendar
program.  This version makes an install of the third-party Pillow (a.k.a. PIL)
library optional for some combinations of image-file type and Python version;
addresses incompatible changes in color names in the Tk 8.6 library underlying
tkinter in Python 3.4 and later; and on Linux improves the behavior of modal

Subject: pytest 2.8.2 released
Message-ID: <20151007160552.GF3107@tonks>

Hey,

I'm happy to announce pytest 2.8.2 has been released.

In case you wonder, pytest is a widely used mature test runner both
for unit and functional test purposes in python.  See
http://pytest.org for documentation and examples.

Among other things, this release fixes a regression introduced in
2.8.1 when using parametrize with encoded byte strings:

- fix #1085: proper handling of encoding errors when passing encoded byte
  strings to pytest.parametrize in Python 2.
  Thanks Themanwithoutaplan for the report and Bruno Oliveira for the PR.

- fix #1087: handling SystemError when passing empty byte strings to
  pytest.parametrize in Python 3.
  Thanks Paul Kehrer for the report and Bruno Oliveira for the PR.

- fix #995: fixed internal error when filtering tracebacks where one entry
  was generated by an exec() statement.
  Thanks Daniel Hahler, Ashley C Straw, Philippe Gauthier and Pavel Savchenko
  for contributing and Bruno Oliveira for the PR.

Thanks to all who contributed to this release, among them:

    Bruno Oliveira
    Demian Brecht
    Florian Bruhin
    Ionel Cristian M?rie?
    Raphael Pierzina
    Ronny Pfannschmidt
    holger krekel

There are still some regressions open from 2.8, among them an issue
when using objects with a custom __getattr__ with Python 2.6:

https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1035

Fixes for those issues are in progress, and there hopefully will be a
2.8.3 release soon.

Thanks for flying pytest and sorry for the turbulences! ;)

Florian

and native journald support [1]. You can now route Eliot logs to
journald and when an error occurs easily find all logged actions that
led up to that particular error, as opposed to most logging systems
where this would involve reading all the logs and figuring out which
ones apply and which to ignore. 

Most logging systems can tell you what happened; Eliot tells you _why_
it happened:

$ python linkcheck.py | eliot-tree
4c42a789-76f5-4f0b-b154-3dd0e3041445
+-- check_links at 1/started
    `-- urls: [u'http://google.com', u'http://nosuchurl']
    +-- download at 2,1/started
        `-- url: http://google.com
        +-- download at 2,2/succeeded
    +-- download at 3,1/started
        `-- url: http://nosuchurl
        +-- download at 3,2/failed
            |-- exception: requests.exceptions.ConnectionError
            |-- reason: ('Conn aborted', gaierror(-2, 'Name unknown'))
    +-- check_links at 4/failed
        |-- exception: exceptions.ValueError
        |-- reason: ('Conn aborted.', gaierror(-2, 'Name unknown'))

And here's the code that generated these logs (eliot-tree [2] was used
to render the output):

import sys
from eliot import start_action, to_file
import requests
to_file(sys.stdout)

def check_links(urls):
    with start_action(action_type="check_links", urls=urls):
        for url in urls:
            try:
                with start_action(action_type="download", url=url):
                    response = requests.get(url)
                    response.raise_for_status()
            except Exception as e:
                raise ValueError(str(e))

check_links(["http://google.com"], ["http://nosuchurl"])

Subject: First release of pytest-vw!
Message-ID: <20151007181650.GG3107@tonks>

Hey,

I'm happy to announce the first release of pytest-vw, a pytest plugin
which makes failing test cases succeed in continuous integration
tools.

See https://github.com/The-Compiler/pytest-vw for more information.

Of course, any similarities with a current event concerning (but not
limited to) a multinational automobile manufacturer are purely
coincidental.

(In all seriousness: This was mainly to try the excellent
cookiecutter[1] and cookiecutter-pytest-plugin[2] projects - it's also
inspired by (read: a blatant ripoff of) PHPunit VW)

Subject: Nikola v7.7.2 is out!
Message-ID: <5375522.pN6Kl5fQbV@kw-cassandra>

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

On behalf of the Nikola team, I am pleased to announce the immediate
availability of Nikola v7.7.2. It fixes some bugs and adds new
features.

What is Nikola?
===============

Nikola is a static site and blog generator, written in Python.
It can use Mako and Jinja2 templates, and input in many popular markup
formats, such as reStructuredText and Markdown ? and can even turn
Jupyter (IPython) Notebooks into blog posts! It also supports image
galleries, and is multilingual. Nikola is flexible, and page builds
are extremely fast, courtesy of doit (which is rebuilding only what
has been changed).

Find out more at the website: https://getnikola.com/

Downloads
=========

Install using `pip install Nikola` or download tarballs on GitHub and 
PyPI:

https://github.com/getnikola/nikola/releases/tag/v7.7.2
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Nikola/7.7.2

Changes
=======

Features
- --------

* Warning about Python 2.7 deprecation (Issues #2121, #2122)
* New ``jsonminify`` filter for minifying JSON files.
* New ``xmlminify`` filter for minifying XML files.
* New option ``FEED_PREVIEWIMAGE`` includes the
  ``post.meta.previewimage`` image in Atom and RSS feeds.
  (Issue #2095)

Bugfixes
- --------

* Support Pillow v3.0.0 (Issue #2130)
* Support setting template in metadata in translated posts
  (Issue #2114)
* Fix false orphan report for code.css and robots.txt (Issue #2106)
* Fix reST post list date formatting error (Issue #2104)
* Deprecated ``RSS_TEASERS``, ``RSS_PLAIN``, ``RSS_READ_MORE_LINK``,
  and ``RSS_LINKS_APPEND_QUERY`` in favor of ``FEED_TEASERS``,
  ``FEED_PLAIN``, ``FEED_READ_MORE_LINK``, and
  ``FEED_LINKS_APPEND_QUERY`` for both Atom and RSS feeds.
  (Issue #2095)
* /robots.txt was never being built (Issue #2098)
* SVG thumbnails (Issue #2094)

Deprecations
- ------------

* ``Post.section_link`` is now deprecated (Issue #2086). Use
  ``site.link('section_index', post.section_slug())`` instead.

Message-ID: <CAHMnJKjwQeMpKMDM_S05+GKjtaqP3sc+qodgLs2a4f9x4chdwA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

We are proud to announce v0.17.0 of pandas.

This is a major release from 0.16.2 and includes a small number of API
changes, several new features, enhancements, and performance improvements
along with a large number of bug fixes. We recommend that all users upgrade
to this version.

This was a release of 4 months with 515 commits by 112 authors encompassing
233 issues and 362 pull-requests.

We recommend that all users upgrade to this version.

*What is it:*

*pandas* is a Python package providing fast, flexible, and expressive data
structures designed to make working with ?relational? or ?labeled? data both
easy and intuitive. It aims to be the fundamental high-level building block
for
doing practical, real world data analysis in Python. Additionally, it has
the
broader goal of becoming the most powerful and flexible open source data
analysis / manipulation tool available in any language.

Subject: rJSmin 1.0.11
Message-ID: <201510111556.12403@news.perlig.de>

Hello World,

I'm pleased to announce version 1.0.11 of rJSmin.


About rJSmin
============

rJSmin is a javascript minifier written in python. The minifier is based
on the semantics of jsmin.c by Douglas Crockford.

The module is a re-implementation aiming for speed, so it can be used at
runtime (rather than during a preprocessing step). Usually it produces
the same results as the original jsmin.c. It differs in the following
ways:

- there is no error detection: unterminated string, regex and comment
  literals are treated as regular javascript code and minified as such.
- Control characters inside string and regex literals are left
  untouched; they are not converted to spaces (nor to \n)
- Newline characters are not allowed inside string and regex literals,
  except for line continuations in string literals (ECMA-5).
- "return /regex/" is recognized correctly.
- "+ +" and "- -" sequences are not collapsed to "++" or "--"
- Newlines before ! operators are removed more sensibly
- Comments starting with an exclamation mark ('!') can be kept optionally
- rJSmin does not handle streams, but only complete strings. (However,
  the module provides a "streamy" interface).


About Release 1.0.11
====================

This release lifts installation restrictions for future python versions.


Supported Python Versions
=========================

* Python 2.4 - 2.7
* Python 3.2 -
* PyPy 1.9 -
* Jython 2.5 - (Python only)


License
=======

rJSmin is available under the terms and conditions of the "Apache License,
Version 2.0."

Subject: rCSSmin 1.0.6
Message-ID: <201510111806.18791@news.perlig.de>

Hello World,

I'm pleased to announce version 1.0.6 of rCSSmin.


About rCSSmin
=============

rCSSmin is a CSS minifier written in python based on the semantics of
the YUI compressor, which itself is based on the rule list by Isaac
Schlueter.

This module is a re-implementation aiming for speed instead of maximum
compression, so it can be used at runtime (rather than during a
preprocessing step). RCSSmin does syntactical compression only (removing
spaces, comments and possibly semicolons). It does not provide semantic
compression (like removing empty blocks, collapsing redundant properties
etc). It does, however, support various CSS hacks (by keeping them
working as intended):

  - IE7 hack (``>/**/``)
  - Mac-IE5 hack (``/*\*/.../**/``)
  - The boxmodelhack is supported naturally because it relies on valid
    CSS2 strings
  - Between ``:first-line`` and the following comma or curly brace a
    space is inserted. (apparently it's needed for IE6)
  - Same for ``:first-letter``
  
Comments starting with an exclamation mark (``!``) can be kept optionally.


About Release 1.0.6
===================

This release mainly fixes the minification of calc() calls (Issue #1).
Additionally it lifts installation restrictions for future python versions.


Supported Python Versions
=========================

* Python 2.4 - 2.7
* Python 3.2 -
* PyPy 1.9 -
* Jython 2.5 - (Python only)

rCSSmin is available under the terms and conditions of the "Apache License,

Subject: Pythran 0.7.2 is out!
Message-ID: <20151013191439.GA25081@lakota>

(sorry for the double posting, if any)

Dear pythraners and pythonistae (the latin plural for pythonista?)

It is my pleasure to announce the release of Pythran 0.7.2, now
available on

    - pypy: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pythran
    - conda: https://anaconda.org/serge-sans-paille/pythran
    - github: https://github.com/serge-sans-paille/pythran

Pythran is an ahead-of-time Python compiler with a focus on high-level
scientific computing. It relies on a few non-intrusive annotations to
provide (potentially) vectorized, parallel version of high level Python
code, like the following, borrowed from stackoverflow [0];

    #pythran export GrayScott(int, float, float, float, float)
    # ^ see the non intrusive, backward compatible annotation ^

    import numpy as np
    def GrayScott(counts, Du, Dv, F, k):
        n = 300
        U = np.zeros((n+2,n+2), dtype=np.float32)
        V = np.zeros((n+2,n+2), dtype=np.float32)
        u, v = U[1:-1,1:-1], V[1:-1,1:-1]

        r = 20
        u[:] = 1.0
        U[n/2-r:n/2+r,n/2-r:n/2+r] = 0.50
        V[n/2-r:n/2+r,n/2-r:n/2+r] = 0.25
        u += 0.15*np.random.random((n,n))
        v += 0.15*np.random.random((n,n))

        for i in range(counts):
            Lu = (                 U[0:-2,1:-1] +
                  U[1:-1,0:-2] - 4*U[1:-1,1:-1] + U[1:-1,2:] +
                                   U[2:  ,1:-1] )
            Lv = (                 V[0:-2,1:-1] +
                  V[1:-1,0:-2] - 4*V[1:-1,1:-1] + V[1:-1,2:] +
                                   V[2:  ,1:-1] )
            uvv = u*v*v
            u += Du*Lu - uvv + F*(1 - u)
            v += Dv*Lv + uvv - (F + k)*v

        return V

This minor yet amazing version brings in more numpy function support
[1], easier install, a conda build, tentative windows support, faster
compilation time and generates generally faster native modules.

Kudos to Pierrick for the hardwork and to all the bug reporters. You all
help a lot to bring the motivation high.

Special thanks to the OpenDreamKit[2] project for the financial support.
Most of the new features have been implemented thanks to this funding!

Subject: rJSmin 1.0.12
Message-ID: <201510182205.38657@news.perlig.de>

Hello World,

I'm pleased to announce version 1.0.12 of rJSmin.


About rJSmin
============

rJSmin is a javascript minifier written in python. The minifier is based
on the semantics of jsmin.c by Douglas Crockford.

The module is a re-implementation aiming for speed, so it can be used at
runtime (rather than during a preprocessing step). Usually it produces
the same results as the original jsmin.c. It differs in the following
ways:

- there is no error detection: unterminated string, regex and comment
  literals are treated as regular javascript code and minified as such.
- Control characters inside string and regex literals are left
  untouched; they are not converted to spaces (nor to \n)
- Newline characters are not allowed inside string and regex literals,
  except for line continuations in string literals (ECMA-5).
- "return /regex/" is recognized correctly.
- Line terminators after regex literals are handled more sensibly
- "+ +" and "- -" sequences are not collapsed to "++" or "--"
- Newlines before ! operators are removed more sensibly
- Comments starting with an exclamation mark ('!') can be kept optionally
- rJSmin does not handle streams, but only complete strings. (However,
  the module provides a "streamy" interface).


About Release 1.0.12
====================

- Reworked handling of comments starting with exclamation marks. The matcher
  should no longer get out of sync, even if they appear in the middle of 
  other matches

- Handle line terminators before and after regex literals more sensible


Supported Python Versions
=========================

* Python 2.4 - 2.7
* Python 3.2 -
* PyPy 1.9 -
* Jython 2.5 - (Python only)


License
=======

rJSmin is available under the terms and conditions of the "Apache License,
Version 2.0."

Subject: aiosmtpd 1.0a1 - asyncio-based implementations of SMTP/LMTP
Message-ID: <20151020095129.1e9c5a49@limelight.wooz.org>

I'm very happy to announce the first alpha release of aiosmtpd, an
asyncio-based implementation of SMTP and LMTP.

http://aiosmtpd.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/aiosmtpd/1.0a1

This library can be used as a standalone server, or as a testing framework for
applications that send email.  It's inspired by several previous packages
including the stdlib smtpd.py, lazr.smtptest, Benjamin Bader's aiosmtp, and
submodules in GNU Mailman.

This is an alpha release, so it can obviously use lots of feedback, and
contributions are very much welcome.  We're developing the library on GitLab;
see the RTD link above for details.

Brought to you by the aiosmtpd hacking cabal of Andrew Kuchling, Eric Smith,
Jason Coombs, R. David Murray and myself.

Our aim is to include aiosmtpd in the Python 3.6 stdlib as a better
alternative to smtpd.py.

Cheers,
-Barry

Subject: ANN: SortedContainers 1.4.2 released
Message-ID: <CAG0JsGydN9rQnvD0-_JoKH_HGL5r3z2a-pzBJVhoAFNsG3g_uw@mail.gmail.com>

Announcing the release of SortedContainers version 1.4.2

What is SortedContainers?
-------------------------

SortedContainers is an Apache2-licensed, pure-Python implementation of
sorted list, sorted dict, and sorted set data types that is fast-as-C
implementations with 100% code coverage and hours of stress testing.
The project is fully documented with performance benchmarks and
comparisons to alternative implementations.

What's new in 1.4.2?
--------------------

* Updated docs to warn against editing sorted containers during
  iteration. Don't do it.
* Updated SortedList* comparisons to match Sequence comparison as described in
  CPython Language Reference Section 5.9.
  https://docs.python.org/2/reference/expressions.html
  This also lead to the discovery of a bug in the blist.sortedlist
  implementation (filed as Issue #77 in their bug tracker).
  https://github.com/DanielStutzbach/blist/issues/77
* Updated SortedSet comparison to raise NotImplemented on type mismatch.
* Bug Fix: Fixed reference to self._dict in sorteddict.ValuesView.count.
* Bug Fix: SortedSet.__ior__ now calls `update` rather than `union`.
* Improved performance of SortedList.__getitem__ by 35% for head and tail
  indexing.
* Improved performance of SortedList.pop by 35% by inlining fast-paths of
  internal indexing methods.
* Improved performance of `del sorted_list[:]` by simply calling `clear`.
* Improved performance of `sorted_list[:] = values` by simply calling `clear`
  then `update`.
* Updated SortedListWithKey to inherit directly from SortedList. Removed
  redundant methods. Merged sortedlistwithkey.py into sortedlist.py.
* Updated SortedList to accept a key-argument callable that will dynamically
  return a SortedListWithKey instance.
* Added new __init__ benchmark comparison. SortedContainers is generally 5-10x
  faster than other implementations.
* Added reference to ruamel.ordereddict.sorteddict on performance comparison
  page at http://www.grantjenks.com/docs/sortedcontainers/performance.html
* Removed SortedList._slice in favor of slice.indices.
* Removed SortedList.as_list in favor of `list(sorted_list)`.
* Updated benchmarks using CPython 2.7.10 and CPython 3.4.3. See docs for
  complete version strings.
* Added CPython 3.5 runtime to test frameworks configs.
* Added docs reference to Debian distributions at python-sortedcontainers and
  python3-sortedcontainers.

Home page: https://inigo.katxi.org/devel/lfm/
Pypi: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lfm
Code repository: https://bitbucket.org/inigoserna/lfm3


Changes since last version
==========================
Version 3.0 ("Only you") - 2015/10/23:

  + About the code
    - almost completely rewritten from scratch
      . it hasn't been tested as much as lfm v2.x series on non-linux OS
    - requires Python v3.4+
    - pyview, the file viewer, has been removed from lfm package
    - configuration location has changed to a new directory and files:
      ~/.config/lfm/{lfm.ini, lfm.keys, lfm.theme, lfm.history}

  + New features
    - fully customizable themes (colors)
    - fully customizable key bindings
      . allow Alt-key shorcuts (A-)
      . only for main window (not for dialogs)
    - files filters (using globs)
      . information in pane frame: ".F" => show dotfiles, active filters
      . filters are a property of a tab, they remain active even when chdir
      . Ctrl-f: edit current filter
      . Some examples:
        . "*.png,*.jpg" => hide all PNG and JPEG files
        . "*.jpg,!*shot*" => hide all JPEG files except those with 'shot'
                             in the name
        . "*,!*py" => hide all except python source files
    - up to 35 bookmarks (0-9, a-z)
      . b: go to bookmark, B: set bookmark, C-d: select bookmark
      . fix: don't delete bookmark at start if path does not exist
    - nested archive handling (vfs inside vfs) works now
    - added optional support for filenames with wide chars, f.e. East Asian
      . to enable, set 'use_wide_chars' flag in configuration or use -w
        command line flag
      . it's disabled by default for performance
      . it's not perfect, but it mostly works
    - there are 2 different versions of move_file to chose from in the key
      bindings file:
      . move_file: old implementation
      . move_file2: alternative version using shtutil.move instead of
                    copy & delete. Faster but less control of errors
    - new action: redraw screen (default key A-r)

  + Changes & improvements (vs v2.x):
    - chmod & chown/chgrp are 2 different actions now
    - cursor_goto_file (C-s): find text pattern (no regex or glob) in the whole
                              file name, not at the beginning as v2.x
    - cursor_goto_file_1char (A-s): go to file by 1st letter of name
                                    (old C-s behaviour)
    - bookmarks have new key bindings:
      b: go to bookmark, B: set bookmark, C-d: select bookmark
    - PowerCLI:
      . ending command with % must be $ now
      . added new date variables: dm, dc, da, dn
      . ending command with % must be $ now
      . added new date variables: dm, dc, da, dn
      . old $d variable is $p now
    - find/grep: panelize = create vfs with matched files
      . if rebuild: all files modifications or deletions are translated to
                    original directory so be careful!
    - pyview, the file viewer, has been removed from lfm package

  + Fixes in v3.0 (vs v2.x):
    - nested archive handling (vfs inside vfs) works now
    - find & grep with spaces in file name
    - wide chars file names support (f.e. Eastern languages) => lfm -w
    - sort by size after show dirs size
    - move_file: not overwritten files in destination are not deleted


Of course, all comments, suggestions, etc. are welcome.


Best regards,
I?igo Serna

Subject: PyCA cryptography 1.1 released
Message-ID: <etPan.5631509a.7b5f6005.5b88@atlas.local>

On behalf of all our contributors I am pleased to announce the release of PyCA/cryptography (https://github.com/pyca/cryptography) 1.1!?cryptography is a package which provides cryptographic recipes and primitives to Python developers. Our goal is for it to be your "cryptographic standard library". We support Python 2.6-2.7, Python 3.3+, and PyPy.

Changelog (https://cryptography.io/en/latest/changelog/):

* Added support for Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman with ECDH.
* Added X963KDF.
* Added support for parsing certificate revocation lists (CRLs) using load_pem_x509_crl() and load_der_x509_crl().
* Add support for AES key wrapping with aes_key_wrap() and aes_key_unwrap().
* Added a __hash__ method to Name.
* Add support for encoding and decoding elliptic curve points to a byte string form using encode_point() and from_encoded_point().
* Added get_extension_for_class().
* CertificatePolicies are now supported in the CertificateBuilder.
* countryName is now encoded as a PrintableString when creating subject and issuer distinguished names with the Certificate and CSR builder classes.

...and other small improvements as always.

Subject: Nikola v7.7.3 is out!
Message-ID: <3603567.vIZXZfkXcG@kw-cassandra>

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

On behalf of the Nikola team, I am pleased to announce the immediate
availability of Nikola v7.7.3. It fixes some bugs and adds new
features.

What is Nikola?
===============

Nikola is a static site and blog generator, written in Python.
It can use Mako and Jinja2 templates, and input in many popular markup
formats, such as reStructuredText and Markdown ? and can even turn
Jupyter (IPython) Notebooks into blog posts! It also supports image
galleries, and is multilingual. Nikola is flexible, and page builds
are extremely fast, courtesy of doit (which is rebuilding only what
has been changed).

Find out more at the website: https://getnikola.com/

Downloads
=========

Install using `pip install Nikola` or download tarballs on GitHub and 
PyPI:

https://github.com/getnikola/nikola/releases/tag/v7.7.3
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Nikola/7.7.3

Changes
=======

Features

  of the tag index list page.
* Support for ``~~strikethrough~~`` in Markdown (Issue #2149)
* Hungarian translation (by Baptiste Darthenay)
* ``serve`` and ``auto`` publishes DNS Service Discovery records
  to the local network announcing they?re running web servers.

Subject: [ANN] Python 3 Cheat Sheet v2.0
Message-ID: <18784327.345XEbhAul@litchi.pointalnet.home>

Hello,

I just updated my one recto-verso sheet Python 3 Cheat Sheet

	https://perso.limsi.fr/pointal/python:memento

Many modifications and enhancements (bytes, literal ints, assignment 
complement, conversion tricks, cleaning sequences indexing, complement on 
boolean logic, modules import, exceptions, small organization charts for flow 
control, complement on list dict set methods, string methods, complment on 
files).

Still available in english and in french.

As the document become more dense, old version is kept online if prefered.

A+
L.Pointal.
