  CodeInvestigator 0.7.4         


Author: Martien Friedeman
Date: Mar 2, 2008 18:27

CodeInvestigator version 0.7.4 was released on March 3.

This is a bug fix release.

It fixes a problem with non-ascii characters. Strings with non-ascii
characters are now saved as part of the recording and can be used in
searches.

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.

  [ANN] Python 2.3.7 and 2.4.5, release candidate 1         


Author: Martin v. Löwis
Date: Mar 2, 2008 13:06

On behalf of the Python development team and the Python community, I'm
happy to announce the release candidates of Python 2.4.5 and 2.4.5.

Both releases include only security fixes. Python 2.5 is the latest
version of Python, we're making this release for people who are still
running Python 2.3 or 2.4.

See the release notes at the website (also available as Misc/NEWS in
the source distribution) for details of bugs fixed; most of them prevent
interpreter crashes (and now cause proper Python exceptions in cases
where the interpreter may have crashed before).

Assuming no major problems crop up, a final release of Python 2.4.4 will
follow in about a week's time.

For more information on Python 2.3.7 and 2.4.5, including download
links for various platforms, release notes, and known issues, please
see:

Highlights of the previous major Python releases are available
from the Python 2.4 page, at

I'm proud to release version 2.0beta1 of Bruce the Presentation Tool.

Bruce is for programmers who are tired of fighting with presentation tools. In
its basic form it allows text, code or image pages and even interactive
Python sessions. It uses pyglet and is easily extensible to add new page
types.

  New Python User Group forming in Maryland: BACON-PIG         


Author: Stephen Waterbury
Date: Mar 1, 2008 12:08

This is to announce the formation of a new Python User Group: the
Baltimore/Annapolis/Columbia/and-Other-Northern-dc-suburbs Python
Interest Group (BACON-PIG). Although there is a good and venerable
group in Washington, DC (the ZPUG-DC or Zope/Python Users of DC,
<http://www.zpugdc.org/>) some of us Maryland Pythonistas are too
lazy (guilty! :) or unable for whatever reason to schlep down into DC
or Northern Virginia for after-work meetings -- hence the motivation
for a Python User Group that meets in Maryland!

In deference to ZPUG-DC, the BACON-PIG will make every effort to have
its meetings on dates that are at least 2 weeks away from ZPUG-DC
meetings, and the BACON-PIG will also focus on topics other than
Zope and/or Plone, since those are more than adequately addressed by
the ZPUG-DC group. Of course, attendance at both groups' meetings is
encouraged!

A new mailing list, , has been created for
announcements and discussion by participants in the BACON-PIG, so
please join that list if you are interested!

  RELEASED Python 2.6a1 and 3.0a3         


Author: Barry Warsaw
Date: Mar 1, 2008 10:51

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

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

Python 2.6 is not only the next advancement in the Python 2 series, it
is also a transitionary release, helping developers begin to prepare
their code for Python 3.0. As such, many features are being
backported from Python 3.0 to 2.6. It makes sense to release both
versions in at the same time, the precedence for this having been set
with the Python 1.6 and 2.0 releases.

During the alpha testing cycle we will be releasing both versions in
lockstep, on a monthly release cycle. The releases will happen on the
last Friday of every month. If this schedule works well, we will
continue releasing in lockstep during the beta program. See PEP 361
for schedule details:

  ANN: sympycore version 0.1 released         


Author: Pearu Peterson
Date: Feb 29, 2008 04:27

We are proud to present a new Python package:

sympycore - an efficient pure Python Computer Algebra System

Sympycore is available for download from

http://sympycore.googlecode.com/

Sympycore is released under the New BSD License.

Sympycore provides efficient data structures for representing symbolic
expressions and methods to manipulate them. Sympycore uses a very
clear algebra oriented design that can be easily extended.

Sympycore is a pure Python package with no external dependencies, it
requires Python version 2.5 or higher to run. Sympycore uses Mpmath
for fast arbitrary-precision floating-point arithmetic that is
included into sympycore package.

Sympycore is to our knowledge the most efficient pure Python
implementation of a Computer Algebra System. Its speed is comparable
to Computer Algebra Systems implemented in compiled languages. Some
comparison benchmarks are available in
