ANN: mxTextTools Package - Version 1.1.1

[M.-A. Lemburg]

ANNOUNCING:

                   mxTextTools Version 1.1.1

          A Python extension package providing fast text
                 scanning and processing tools


WHAT IT IS:

mxTextTools is an extension package for Python that provides 
* a fast text search type (using a modified Boyer-Moore algorithm)
* a finite state machine for marking and analysing text
  (the Tagging Engine)
* a set of specialized text processing functions
* a set of functions that work with character sets

Applications include parsing structured text, finding and extracting
text (either exact or using translation tables) and recombining
strings to form new text. Everything was implemented having high
performance in mind.

WHAT'S NEW ?

The 1.1.1 release fixes a two minor bugs. It is mainly a service
update to make mxTextTools work out of the box together with
Tony J. Ibbs meta language:

The history details are available at:

        http://starship.skyport.net/~lemburg/mxTextTools.html#History

This release also includes a precompiled Windows DLL so that you can
use the package right away. Installing on that platform boils down
to a simple unzip in the \Python\Lib directory.

WHERE CAN I GET IT ?
