Leo 4.4.8 final is now available at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3458&package_id=29106

This version features a new ipython plugin that provides a two-way bridge
between Leo and IPython. See
http://webpages.charter.net/edreamleo/IPythonBridge.html

Leo is a text editor, data organizer, project manager and much more. See:
http://webpages.charter.net/edreamleo/intro.html

The highlights of Leo 4.4.8:
----------------------------
- Leo's source code is now managed by bzr: see link below.
- Leo's discussion is now hosted by Google Groups: see link below.
- Arguments to g.es and g.es_print can be translated using gettext.
- Completed ILeo: a bridge between IPython and Leo.
See http://webpages.charter.net/edreamleo/IPythonBridge.html
- Minibuffer commands may have arguments.
- @menu trees can now refer to commands created by
@command and @button nodes.
- Added support for common @commands nodes in settings files.

I realized a PyGtk all in one installer for Windows.

You can download it from here:
http://www.bonifazi.eu/appunti/pygtk_windows_installer.exe

It is simply an assembling of all the different installers I
previously downloaded (which are executed step by step), and you can
choose.

I realized this installer using EclipseNSIS and compiling the script
generated by NSIS.
Then, the script I created and that you can compile and modify using
NSIS is the following:

http://www.bonifazi.eu/appunti/pygtk_windows_installer.nsi

I give also the links of the webpages where I got the different
installers:
http://www.bonifazi.eu/appunti/2008/04/pygtk-all-in-one-installer.html

I'll try to keep update this installer.

I hope it could be useful to someone.

Bye.

On behalf of the Python development team and the Python community, I'm
happy to announce the second alpha release of Python 2.6, and the
fourth alpha release of Python 3.0.

Please note that these are alpha releases, and as such are not
suitable for production environments. We continue to strive for a
high degree of quality, but there are still some known problems and
the feature sets have not been finalized. These alphas are being
released to solicit feedback and hopefully discover bugs, as well as
allowing you to determine how changes in 2.6 and 3.0 might impact
you. If you find things broken or incorrect, please submit a bug
report at

http://bugs.python.org

For more information and downloadable distributions, see the Python
2.6 web
site:

and the Python 3.0 web site:

Musync is an command-line interface tagger which uses mutagen to read
meta data from music-files, and tries to create a sane file structure
from the collected tags.

It utilizes sub processing for file handling which enables it to execute
practically any command desirable.

It's weakness is that it relies on the files meta data to be correct so
you must manually tag all the files beforehand. This is not a feature
planned in future releases. Use an external program like PicardTagger
for this purpose.

Musync is not an interactive tool, it will never prompt for anything but
try to make intelligent choices from the arguments received at execution.

I'm in desperate need of third party testers to try this out for errors,
and hoped there were someone interested in slaughtering their
music-library for the sake of organization.

I use this tool myself, since i find gui-apps annoying and haven't found
a reasonable alternative to this.

theres also instructions on how to get a snapshot (using svn), but I've
also created a small http-wrapper so you can download the snapshot in a
.tar.gz.

CodeInvestigator version 0.8.0 was released on April 02.

A usability change was made:
A user's Python files are listed in the Files screen. The
directory/directories for these files is specified in the Settings
screen.
A user now has an additional way to change this:
Clicking the directory name in the Files screen.

CodeInvestigator is a tracing tool for Python programs.

Running a program through CodeInvestigator creates a recording.
Program flow, function calls, variable values and conditions are all
stored for every line the program executes.
The recording is then viewed with an interface consisting of the
code. The code can be clicked: A clicked variable displays its value,
a clicked loop displays its iterations.
You read code, and have at your disposal all the run time details of
that code. A computerized desk check tool and another way to learn
about your program.
