  IMDbPY 2.9         


Author: Davide Alberani
Date: Feb 27, 2007 06:15

IMDbPY 2.9 is available (tgz, deb, rpm, exe) from:
http://imdbpy.sourceforge.net/

IMDbPY is a Python package useful to retrieve and manage the data of
the IMDb movie database about both movies and people.

This is a transitional release and will be the last one to access the
old IMDb's web layout; since 3.0 IMDbPY will parse the new layout.
This version contains mostly minor bugfixes, mainly in the "http" and
"sql" data access systems. Problems with handling Unicode data have
been fixed ( well, hopefully ;-) )

Platform-independent and written in pure Python (and few C lines), it
can retrieve data from both the IMDb's web server and a local copy of
the whole database.

IMDbPY package can be very easily used by programmers and developers
to provide access to the IMDb's data to their programs.
Some simple example scripts are included in the package; other
IMDbPY-based programs are available from the home page.

Author: Mark Dufour
Date: Feb 27, 2007 03:09

Hi all,

Here goes Shed Skin 0.0.20. No major new features this time, but lots
of bugs were squashed. A changelog:

-improvements to aug-assignments with subscripting ('a[x, y] += 1' and such)
-fixed some problems with slice-assignments ('a[1:-1] = [1,2])
-make integer division (/,//,divmod,floordiv) equal to CPython for
negative/positive combinations of arguments
-make printing of floats closer to CPython
-move generic functions/methods to header file
-many small fixes (allow 'self' as function argument, list.extend
takes iterable, __delitem__ overloading, raw_input regression,
'return' from generator..)
-improved error checking for dynamic types

Please see http://mark.dufour.googlepages.com for more information

  gmpy moving to code.google.com         


Author: Alex Martelli
Date: Feb 25, 2007 22:23

If you're interested in gmpy (the Python wrapper of GMP, for
unlimited-precision arithmetic, rationals, random number generation,
number-theoretical functions, etc), please DO check out
http://code.google.com/p/gmpy/ -- gmpy 1.02 is there (as far as I can
tell) in a workable state. Source on Subversion (and a prerelease
zipfile too), downloadable binaries for MacOSX (download and read the
README file first!) and Windows (for Python 2.4 and 2.5 only, built and
minimally tested on a shaky Win2K+mingw -- on -- Parallels/MacOSX
setup... I have no other Windows machine to check 'em out...!).

Please help me check that the move-and-upgrade went OK -- download some
or all of the pieces (including an svn checkout of the sources), build,
install, test, try it out. I will HEARTILY welcome feedback (mail
aleaxit@gmail.com) telling me what worked and/or what didn't so I can
finalize this release
-- and hopefully move on to a future 1.03 (I won't
aim to 1.03 until I'm convinced that 1.02 is OK...).

Thanks in advance,

Alex

  ANN: pynakotheka v1.1.0         


Author: Iñigo Serna
Date: Feb 25, 2007 13:43

Hi there,

I'm pleased to announce a new release of Pynakotheka.

Pynakotheka is a simple GPL-licensed python script which generates
static HTML photo albums to be added to web sites or to be burnt into
CDs.
It includes some templates and it's easy to create more.

It depends on python, Mako Templates, EXIF and PIL.

Read more and download it from:

http://inigo.katxi.org/devel/pynakotheka

or http://www.terra.es/personal7/inigoserna/pynakotheka

Changes from v1.0.3 to v1.1.0:
==============================
* use Mako Templates instead of Cheetah Templating System:
- html creation is much faster now
- old problems with text encodings should be solved now
* file names encoded in UTF8 works ok now, or so I hope
* added a "--version" option

As always, all comments, suggestions etc. are welcome.

  Pythin for UIQ         


Author: Luca Cassioli
Date: Feb 25, 2007 08:55

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-announce-list/2004-June/003172.html

Is this project still under development? It does nnot work on my UIQ phone
(Motorola a1000), and I would like to see it working!
Is it possibile to compile the project using Carbide.c++? Or even just
command line?
How?
Where do I download sources from?

  Flightdeck-UI MVM and Library release 0.3.0         


Author: George Belotsky
Date: Feb 25, 2007 08:03

The goal of the Flightdeck-UI project is to apply ideas from aircraft
instrumentation design to general-purpose user interfaces.

Flightdeck-UI release 0.3.0 is a development release of the
Multi-Level Monitor (MVM) application and the Tkinter widget library
which MVM uses.

MVM 0.3.0 adds the "safetymon" and "safetymon-small" control files,
which monitor the temperature of the hard drive and CPU. You may need
to adjust this file to match your processor, motherboard and
preferences.

Both the MVM 0.3.0 and Library 0.3.0 packages also synchronize the
code that MVM and the Flightdeck-UI Library share with Flightdeck-UI
Online versions 0.4.0 and 0.5.0.

See the homepage:

"http://www.openlight.com/fdui"

or download MVM directly (tar.gz and .zip, includes the library):

"http://www.openlight.com/fdui/downloads/fdui-mvm-0.3.0.tar.gz"
"http://www.openlight.com/fdui/downloads/fdui-mvm-0.3.0.zip"

or the library alone (tar.gz and .zip(:

  [ANN] buzhug-0.7 (pure-Python database engine)         


Author: Pierre Quentel
Date: Feb 25, 2007 00:38

Hello,

A new version of buzhug has just been published : http://buzhug.sourceforge.net

buzhug is a fast, pure-Python database engine, using a syntax that
Python programmers should find very intuitive

The data is stored and accessed on disk (it is not an in-memory
database) ; the implementation has been designed to make all
operations, and especially selection, as fast as possible with an
interpreted language

The database is implemented as a Python iterator, yielding objects
whose attributes are the fields defined when the base is created ;
therefore, requests can be expressed as list comprehensions or
generator expressions, instead of SQL queries :

for record in [ r for r in db if r.name == 'pierre' ]:
print record.name,record.age

instead of

cursor.execute("SELECT * IN db WHERE name = 'pierre'")
for r in cursor.fetchall():
print r[0],r[1]
