From valentin at haenel.co Sun Mar 3 20:05:56 2019 From: valentin at haenel.co (Valentin Haenel) Date: Mon, 4 Mar 2019 02:05:56 +0100 Subject: [ANN] python-blosc v1.8.0 Message-ID: <20190304010556.dhzxjbbrfbj5bpnm@kudu.in-berlin.de> ============================= Announcing python-blosc 1.8.0 ============================= What is new? ============ This is a maintenance and fetaure release. A regression affecting windows users has been fixed by Robert McLeod and support for older C compilers has been contributed by Nicholas Devenish. Also, c-blosc v1.16.2 has been included and support for the new `cbuffer_validate` is included. Lastly there have been several minor improvements and cleanups as usual. For more info, you can have a look at the release notes in: https://github.com/Blosc/python-blosc/blob/master/RELEASE_NOTES.rst More docs and examples are available in the documentation site: http://python-blosc.blosc.org What is it? =========== Blosc (http://www.blosc.org) is a high performance compressor optimized for binary data. It has been designed to transmit data to the processor cache faster than the traditional, non-compressed, direct memory fetch approach via a memcpy() OS call. Blosc works well for compressing numerical arrays that contains data with relatively low entropy, like sparse data, time series, grids with regular-spaced values, etc. python-blosc (http://python-blosc.blosc.org/) is the Python wrapper for the Blosc compression library, with added functions (`compress_ptr()` and `pack_array()`) for efficiently compressing NumPy arrays, minimizing the number of memory copies during the process. python-blosc can be used to compress in-memory data buffers for transmission to other machines, persistence or just as a compressed cache. There is also a handy tool built on top of python-blosc called Bloscpack (https://github.com/Blosc/bloscpack). It features a commmand line interface that allows you to compress large binary datafiles on-disk. It also comes with a Python API that has built-in support for serializing and deserializing Numpy arrays both on-disk and in-memory at speeds that are competitive with regular Pickle/cPickle machinery.

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 ========== 2019-03-05 **Enhancements** - #1379: [Windows] Process suspend() and resume() now use NtSuspendProcess and NtResumeProcess instead of stopping/resuming all threads of a process. This is faster and more reliable (aka this is what ProcessHacker does). - #1420: [Windows] in case of exception disk_usage() now also shows the path name. - #1422: [Windows] Windows APIs requiring to be dynamically loaded from DLL libraries are now loaded only once on startup (instead of on per function call) significantly speeding up different functions and methods. - #1426: [Windows] PAGESIZE and number of processors is now calculated on startup. - #1428: in case of error, the traceback message now shows the underlying C function called which failed. - #1433: new Process.parents() method. (idea by Ghislain Le Meur) - #1437: pids() are returned in sorted order. - #1442: python3 is now the default interpreter used by Makefile. **Bug fixes** - #1353: process_iter() is now thread safe (it rarely raised TypeError). - #1394: [Windows] Process name() and exe() may erroneously return "Registry". QueryFullProcessImageNameW is now used instead of GetProcessImageFileNameW in order to prevent that. - #1411: [BSD] lack of Py_DECREF could cause segmentation fault on process instantiation. - #1419: [Windows] Process.environ() raises NotImplementedError when querying a 64-bit process in 32-bit-WoW mode. Now it raises AccessDenied. - #1427: [OSX] Process cmdline() and environ() may erroneously raise OSError on failed malloc(). - #1429: [Windows] SE DEBUG was not properly set for current process. It is now, and it should result in less AccessDenied exceptions for low-pid processes. - #1432: [Windows] Process.memory_info_ex()'s USS memory is miscalculated because we're not using the actual system PAGESIZE. - #1439: [NetBSD] Process.connections() may return incomplete results if using oneshot(). - #1447: original exception wasn't turned into NSP/AD exceptions when using Process.oneshot() ctx manager. **Incompatible API changes** - #1291: [OSX] Process.memory_maps() was removed because inherently broken (segfault) for years.

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 - (Unnested) template literals are supported (ECMA-6) - 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 1.1.0 =================== Main changes include: - Python version support updated - The C extension is no longer required for installation by default. Also it's only used if its version is matching the python implementation's version - Tentative support for template literals has been added. Only un-nested template literals are recognized for now. - '+', '-' and '*' are recognized in front of regexes Supported Python Versions ========================= * Python 2.7 * Python 3.4 - Untested Python Versions ======================== * PyPy * Jython License ======= rJSmin is available under the terms and conditions of the "Apache License, Version 2.0."

You may be impacted if a user can provide a Unicode URL to your application that is later converted to IDNA (Punycode) or ASCII. This conversion will decompose certain Unicode characters that can affect the netloc part of your URL, potentially resulting in requests being sent to an unexpected host. All versions of Python are affected. Patches have been applied for the next releases of 2.7, 3.7 and 3.8, and are under review for 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6.

Bug fixes: - Fix a bug in LoadTemplate.loadTemplate{Module,Class}: raise ImportError if the template was not found. CI: - At Travis deploy wheels for macOS. - At AppVeyor deploy wheels directly to PyPI. 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.

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

It allows you modeling a broad range of random phenomena: gambling, weather, finance, etc. More generally, Lea may be used for any finite set of discrete values having known probability: numbers, booleans, date/times, symbols, ... Each probability distribution is modeled as a plain object, which can be named, displayed, queried or processed to produce new probability distributions. Lea also provides advanced functions and Probabilistic Programming (PP) features; these include conditional probabilities, Bayesian networks, joint probability distributions, Markov chains and symbolic computation. Lea can be used for AI, PP, gambling, education, ... LGPL - Python 2.6+ / Python 3 supported What's new in Lea 3.1.0? ------------------------ The present version essentially consolidates the previous one (3.0.1), adding just few new features. The main changes are: - new switch_func method, for defining CPT by a function (far less memory-consuming for models like noisy-or, noisy-max) - improvements on Markov chain functions, including calculation of absorbing MC - optimization of lea.max_of, lea.min_of functions - bug fixes for symbolic calculation (in particular for Python 2.7) - numerous addings/improvements on wiki tutorials and documentation, especially on Lea API Many thanks... -------------- ... to Paul Moore, Jens Finkhaeuser and Rasmus Bonnevie who provided proposals, contributions, feedbacks that gave the impetus for the present version.

There will also be tutorial sessions the day before the conference (the 9th) and we will hold sprints on the 12th & 13th of October. We are currently accepting proposals for talks. If you would like to give a presentation, please register at https://za.pycon.org/ and submit your proposal, following the instructions at https://za.pycon.org/talks/submit-talk/ . We have a number of tracks available, including: Data Science, Teaching and Learning with Python, Web, Scientific Computing, Testing and Other (which includes all talks that don't fall under the mentioned tracks). We hope to notify accepted presenters by no later than the 31st of August 2019. The presentation slots will be 30 minutes long, with an additional 10 minutes for discussion at the end. Shared sessions are also possible. The presentations will be in English. PyCon ZA offers a mentorship program for inexperienced speakers. If you would like assistance preparing your submission, email team at za.pycon.org with a rough draft of your talk proposal and we'll find a suitable experienced speaker to act as a mentor. In addition to talks, we are also looking for proposals for tutorials, demos, sprints and open spaces. Tutorials will be held before the conference and are expected to provided in-depth coverage of a topic. The number of attendees will be also be limited. We are accepting proposals for either half-day (4 hours) or full-day (8 hours) tutorials. We hope to notify accepted tutorial presenters by no later than the 26th of July 2018. Demos are cool things for attendees to see and interact with. Open spaces are open discussion forums where communities with a common interest gather to present views, ask questions and meet people interested in the topic. Sprints are coding efforts and hack days that happen after the conference. There is no need to register a sprint or open space topic upfront, but doing so allows us to advertise them during the conference. PyCon ZA offers a limited financial assistance for attendees. If you need assistance, please note that with your talk submission. Requests for assistance will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. -- Neil Muller On behalf of the PyCon ZA organising committee From cimrman3 at ntc.zcu.cz Tue Mar 26 09:41:15 2019 From: cimrman3 at ntc.zcu.cz (Robert Cimrman) Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2019 14:41:15 +0100 Subject: ANN: SfePy 2019.1 Message-ID: <8e9ca301-7fb6-9b47-b9fc-e02605c64867@ntc.zcu.cz> I am pleased to announce release 2019.1 of SfePy.

Message-ID: [image: pygame 1.9.5] TLDR; Some highlights. Every single source file has been heavily modified and moved in this release. Initial (source code only) support for SDL2 has been merged in. We also support compiling with SDL1 in the same code base, so the migration to pygame 2 is easier. pygame 2 will be released with SDL2 being the default backend when some remaining issues are ironed out. The 1.9.x releases will continue with SDL1 until then. Also, the C API of pygame is undergoing a transformation with lots of cleanups. Then there have been plenty of other cleanups all throughout the python code as well. There's still lots to clean up, but things should be significantly easier for people to contribute (? hello and thanks new contributors!). The documentation has been improved with better examples links, search functionality, and improved navigation. Support for older Macs, and newer Macs has been improved. The mask, midi, draw, and math modules have gotten lots of polish with rough edges removed. Thanks A very special thanks to the people who have volunteered commits to pygame since the last release.
