This release also adds a new data frame and array viewer, a MATLAB keyboard personality, easy inline debug data display with Shift-Space, improved stack data display, support for PEP 3134 chained exceptions, callouts for search and other code navigation features, four new color palettes, improved bookmarking, a high-level configuration menu, magnified presentation mode, a new update manager, stepping over import internals, simplified remote agent installation, and much more. Wing 7 Screen Shot *Download Wing 7 Now:* Wing Pro | Wing Personal | Wing 101 | Compare Products Some Highlights of Wing 7 Code Warnings and Quality Inspection (Wing Pro) Wing 7's new code warnings and code quality inspection system focuses on early identification of real coding errors, including syntax errors, undefined variables and attributes, unresolved imports, and other types of errors. Warnings may also be obtained from external checkers such as pylint, pep8, and mypy. Data Frame and Array Viewer The new array viewer for debug data can work efficiently with very large data sets created with Pandas, numpy, xarray, sqlite3, and any Python lists, tuples, and dicts. To use the array viewer, right click on an item in the Stack Data tool and select View as Array. Improved Debug Data Display In Wing Pro, pressing Shift-Space while the debugger is active and paused displays the value of all visible symbols in the editor, using popup tooltips. Other debugger improvements include better support for PEP 3134 chained exceptions, filtering out __name__ special names and other symbol types, hiding memory addresses, and viewing dictionaries in sorted order. Improved Bookmarking (Wing Pro) The bookmarks tool was redesigned to make it easier to use bookmarks to manage development tasks, by assigning categories, entering notes, and filtering bookmark display by category or text fragment. Bookmarks now track better across external file changes, and can be shared with other projects and users. And Much More Wing 7 also introduces a new high-level configuration menu, magnified presentation mode, editor callouts for easier search and code navigation, new color palettes, a MATLAB keyboard personality, typeshed integration, updated and expanded documentation, and many other improvements.

The highlights of this release are: * twisted.web.client.HostnameCachingHTTPSPolicy was added as a new contextFactory option. This reduces the performance overhead for making many TLS connections to the same host. * twisted.conch.ssh.keys can now read private keys in the new "openssh-key-v1" format, introduced in OpenSSH 6.5 and made the default in OpenSSH 7.8. * The sample code in the "Twisted Web In 60 Seconds" tutorial runs on Python 3. * DeferredLock and DeferredSemaphore can be used as asynchronous context managers on Python 3.5+. * twisted.internet.ssl.CertificateOptions now uses 32 random bytes instead of an MD5 hash for the ssl session identifier context. * twisted.python.failure.Failure.getTracebackObject now returns traceback objects whose frames can be passed into traceback.print_stack for better debugging of where the exception came from. * Much more! 20+ tickets closed overall. You can find the downloads at (or alternatively ). The NEWS file is also available at . Many thanks to everyone who had a part in this release - the supporters of the Twisted Software Foundation, the developers who contributed code as well as documentation, and all the people building great things with Twisted!

Furthermore, this release adds new predictors based on classical orbital elements to facilitate orbit modeling. In particular, there are new functions to create planar constellations of Sun-synchronous satellites. orbit-predictor is cross-platform, works in Python >= 3.4 and can be installed using pip: pip install orbit-predictor Please check out our GitHub repository for further information and complete release notes. Bug reports are more than welcome! https://github.com/satellogic/orbit-predictor Per Python ad astra! -- *Juan Luis Cano Rodr?guez* From nicoddemus at gmail.com Mon Apr 15 13:42:33 2019 From: nicoddemus at gmail.com (Bruno Oliveira) Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2019 14:42:33 -0300 Subject: Pytest 4.4.1 released! Message-ID: pytest 4.4.1 has just been released to PyPI. This is a bug-fix release, being a drop-in replacement. To upgrade:: pip install --upgrade pytest The full changelog is available at https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/changelog.html. Thanks to all who contributed to this release, among them: * Anthony Sottile * Bruno Oliveira * Daniel Hahler Happy testing, The pytest Development Team From charlesr.harris at gmail.com Sun Apr 21 22:39:15 2019 From: charlesr.harris at gmail.com (Charles R Harris) Date: Sun, 21 Apr 2019 20:39:15 -0600 Subject: NumPy 1.16. 3 release Message-ID: Hi All, On behalf of the NumPy team I am pleased to announce the release of NumPy 1.16.3 which contains several fixes for newly reported bugs. The Python versions supported in this release are 2.7 and 3.5-3.7. There are several notable changes. - Unpickling object arrays when loading *.npy or *.npz files now requires an explicit opt-in. This backwards incompatible change was made in response to CVE-2019-6446 . - The covariance in 'random.mvnormal' is cast to double. This should make the tolerance more useful when checking the singular values of the covariance matrix. - The '__array_interface__' offset now works as documented. The offset value was being mistakenly ignored. Downstream developers building this release should use Cython >= 0.29.2 and, if using OpenBLAS, OpenBLAS > v0.3.4. Wheels for this release can be downloaded from PyPI , source archives and release notes are available from Github . If you are installing using pip, you may encounter a problem with older installed versions of NumPy that pip did not delete becoming mixed with the current version, resulting in an ``ImportError``. That problem is particularly common on Debian derived distributions due to a modified pip. The fix is to make sure all previous NumPy versions installed by pip have been removed. See #12736 for discussion of the issue. *Contributors* A total of 16 people contributed to this release.

It supports both pytest and unittest style testing. I've been working to get datatest ready for a few pre-PyCon updates. This latest release takes many of the "how-to" solutions and brings them into the core package. * Docs - https://datatest.readthedocs.io/ * PyPI - https://pypi.org/project/datatest/ * Devel - https://github.com/shawnbrown/datatest Upgrade an existing installation to 0.9.4: pip install --upgrade datatest What's New in Datatest 0.9.4: * Added Python 3.8 testing and support. * Added new validate methods (moved from how-to recipes into core module): * Added approx() method to require for approximate numeric equality. * Added fuzzy() method to require strings by approximate match. * Added interval() method to require elements within a given interval. * Added set(), subset(), and superset() methods for explicit membership checking. * Added unique() method to require unique elements. * Added order() method to require elements by relative order. * Changed default sequence validation to check elements by index position rather than checking by relative order. * Added fuzzy-matching allowance to allow strings by approximate match. * Added Predicate class to formalize behavior--also provides inverse-matching with the inversion operator (~). * Added new methods to Query class: * Added unwrap() to remove single-element containers and return their unwrapped contents. * Added starmap() to unpack grouped arguments when applying a function to elements. * Fixed improper use of assert statements with appropriate conditional checks and error behavior. * Added requirement class hierarchy (using BaseRequirement). This gives users a cleaner way to implement custom validation behavior and makes the underlying codebase easier to maintain. * Changed name of ProxyGroup to RepeatingContainer. * Changed "How To" examples to use the new validation methods.

TatSu v4.4.0 has been released. Thanks to Vic Nightfall, support for left-recursion in PEG grammars is now complete. def WARNING(): return 'v4.4.0 is the last version of ?TatSu supporting Python 2.7' ? TatSu (the successor to Grako) is a tool that takes grammars in a variation of EBNF as input, and outputs memoizing (Packrat) PEG parsers in Python. ? TatSu can compile a grammar stored in a string into a tatsu.grammars.Grammar object that can be used to parse any given input, much like the re module does with regular expressions, or it can generate a Python module that implements the parser. ? TatSu supports left-recursive rules in PEG grammars using the algorithm by _Laurent_ and _Mens_. The generated AST has the expected left associativity.

Room capacity for the trainings rooms is approx. 100 seats. * Panels A panel is group of three to six experts plus a moderator discussing a matter in depth, an intensive exchange of (maybe opposite) opinions. A panel may be 30-60 minutes long. We have introduced this interactive format for EuroPython 2017 due to the many requests we have received to make the conference more interactive and have more challenging / mind-bending content in place. Please note if you suggest a panel you will have to organise the panelists and coordinate with the Program WG, panelist will require a ticket to the conference. * Interactive This is a completely open 60-minute format. Feel free to make your suggestions. There are only two rules: it must be interactive, real-time human-to-human-interaction and of course compliant with the EuroPython Code of Conduct. * Posters / 20 slots Posters are a graphical way to describe a project or a technology, printed in large formats; posters are exhibited at the conference, can be read at any time by participants, and can be discussed face to face with their authors during the poster session. * Helpdesk / 6 slots Helpdesks are a great way to share your experience on a technology, by offering to help people answering their questions and solving their practical problems. You can run a helpdesk by yourself or with colleagues and friends. Each helpdesk will be open for 3 hours in total, 1.5 hours in the morning and 1.5 hours in the afternoon. People looking for help will sign up for a 30 minute slot and talk to you. There is no specific preparation needed; you just need to be proficient in the technology you run the helpdesk for. * Lightning Talks A lightning talk (LT) is a short presenatation which must not be longer than five minute. LTs are not via the CfP but walk-in registations, see here. Community Based Talk Voting --------------------------- Attendees who have bought a ticket in time for the Talk Voting period gain the right to vote for talks submitted during the Call For Proposals. The Program WG will also set aside a number of slots which they will then select based on other criteria to e.g. increase diversity or give a chance to less mainstream topics. Conference Layout ----------------- Please note that the conference layout has changed in 2018, the main conference (talks) is now only three days: * Monday and Tuesday: trainings, workshops, Beginners? Day, DjangoGirls * Wednesday, Thursday, Friday: talks, panels, posters, helpdesks, open sessions,? (no trainings!). Discounts for Content Contributors ---------------------------------- Since EuroPython is a not-for-profit community conference, it is not possible to pay out rewards for talks or trainings. For talks, posters, help desk and organising a panels or interactive sessions we will give out a 25% discount coupon valid for one conference ticket. Trainers will receive a 100% discount coupon for both a conference ticket and a training pass to compensate for the longer preparation time. See here for more details. Inappropriate Language and Imagery ---------------------------------- Please consider that EuroPython is a conference with an audience from a broad geographical area which spans countries and regions with vastly different cultures. What might be considered a ?funny, inoffensive joke? in a region might be really offensive (if not even unlawful) in another. If you want to add humor, references and images to your talk, avoid any choice that might be offensive to a group which is different from yours, and pay attention to our EuroPython Code of Conduct: https://ep2019.europython.eu/coc/ Dates and Venues ---------------- EuroPython will be held from July 8-14 2019 in Basel, Switzerland, at the Congress Center Basel (BCC) for the main conference days (Wed-Fri) and the FHNW Muttenz for the workshops/trainings/sprints days (Mon-Tue, Sat-Sun).

It is useful mainly for system monitoring, profiling and limiting process resources and management of running processes. It implements many functionalities offered by command line tools such as: ps, top, lsof, netstat, ifconfig, who, df, kill, free, nice, ionice, iostat, iotop, uptime, pidof, tty, taskset, pmap. It currently supports Linux, Windows, macOS, Sun Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and AIX, both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. Supported Python versions are 2.6, 2.7 and 3.4+. PyPy is also known to work. What's new ========== 2019-04-26 **Enhancements** - #604: [UNIX, Windows] add new psutil.getloadavg() returning system load - #1404: [Linux] cpu_count(logical=False) uses a second method (read from `/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0-9]/topology/core_id`) in order to determine the number of physical CPUs in case /proc/cpuinfo does not provide this info. - #1458: provide coloured test output. Also show failures on KeyboardInterrupt. - #1464: various docfixes (always point to python3 doc, fix links, etc.). - #1473: [Windows] process IO priority (ionice()) values are now exposed as 4 new constants: IOPRIO_VERYLOW, IOPRIO_LOW, IOPRIO_NORMAL, IOPRIO_HIGH. Also it was not possible to set high I/O priority (not it is). - #1478: add make command to re-run tests failed on last run. average calculation. (patch by Ammar Askar) **Bug fixes** - #1223: [Windows] boot_time() may return value on Windows XP. - #1456: [Linux] cpu_freq() returns None instead of 0.0 when min/max not available (patch by Alex Manuskin) - #1462: [Linux] (tests) make tests invariant to LANG setting (patch by - #1463: cpu_distribution.py script was broken. Benjamin Drung) - #1470: [Linux] disk_partitions(): fix corner case when /etc/mtab doesn't exist. (patch by Cedric Lamoriniere) - #1471: [SunOS] Process name() and cmdline() can return SystemError. (patch by Daniel Beer) - #1472: [Linux] cpu_freq() does not return all CPUs on Rasbperry pi 3. - #1474: fix formatting of psutil.tests() which mimicks 'ps aux' output. - #1475: [Windows] OSError.winerror attribute wasn't properly checked resuling in WindowsError being raised instead of AccessDenied. - #1477: [Windows] wrong or absent error handling for private NTSTATUS Windows APIs. Different process methods were affected by this. - #1480: [Windows] psutil.cpu_count(logical=False) could cause a crash due to fixed read violation. (patch by Samer Masterson) - #1486: [AIX, SunOS] AttributeError when interacting with Process methods involved into oneshot() context. - #1491: [SunOS] net_if_addrs(): free() ifap struct on error. (patch by Agnewee) - #1493: [Linux] cpu_freq(): handle the case where /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ exists but is empty.

For more information about this release, please visit the following blog post: http://damianavila.github.io/blog/posts/rise-550-is-out.html Have a great start of the week! -- *Dami?n Avila* From phd at phdru.name Mon Apr 29 13:23:20 2019 From: phd at phdru.name (Oleg Broytman) Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2019 19:23:20 +0200 Subject: CheetahTemplate 3.2.2 Message-ID: <20190429172320.tycgrnd3cnn4yjob@phdru.name> Hello! I'm pleased to announce version 3.2.2, the second bugfix release of branch 3.2 of CheetahTemplate3. What's new in CheetahTemplate3 ============================== Contributors for this release are Pierre-Yves, Dan Vinakovsky, Nicolai Grodzitski. Minor features: - Replaced outdated and insecure ``mktemp`` with ``mkstemp``. Bug fixes: - Fixed bugs in ``TemplateCmdLineIface.py``: read binary pickles from stdin and files. Tests: - Use ``cgi.escape()`` for Python 2, ``html.escape()`` for Python 3. - Created tests for ``TemplateCmdLineIface``. What is CheetahTemplate3 ======================== Cheetah3 is a free and open source template engine. It's a fork of the original CheetahTemplate library. Python 2.7 or 3.4+ is required. Where is CheetahTemplate3 ========================= Site: http://cheetahtemplate.org/ Development: https://github.com/CheetahTemplate3 Download: https://pypi.org/project/Cheetah3/3.2.2 News and changes: http://cheetahtemplate.org/news.html StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/cheetah Example ======= Below is a simple example of some Cheetah code, as you can see it's practically Python. You can import, inherit and define methods just like in a regular Python module, since that's what your Cheetah templates are compiled to :) :: #from Cheetah.Template import Template #extends Template #set $people = [{'name' : 'Tom', 'mood' : 'Happy'}, {'name' : 'Dick', 'mood' : 'Sad'}, {'name' : 'Harry', 'mood' : 'Hairy'}] How are you feeling?
    #for $person in $people
  • $person['name'] is $person['mood']
    • #end for
