by Anastasios Hatzis April 7, 2007

April 7, 2007

pyswarm 0.6.2 released - Python MDD technology New Tool Commands and Improved Command-Line Usage 07 APRIL 2007: Version 0.6.2 is the fifth unstable release of pyswarm and and also is the first release officially published under the new licensor, the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE). Priority of this release was the improvement of usability by streamlining command-line usage and adding new features to the SDK. New commands hopefully will ease working with pyswarm projects and generating applications. Command-line options and arguments have been changed to GNU-style conventions, while most of these features receive premiere with this release. SDK installation procedure has been switched to an easier setup procedure based on the distutils module from the Python standard library. Please read Installation part in the pyswarm documentation on how to remove prior releases manually before installing this release. All runtime libraries necessary for generated apps are now included in the generated apps in order to avoid incompatibilities and dependencies in future deployments into production environments. The pyswarm documentation has been updated and can be seperately downloaded from the new project web-site. Some bugs have been fixed in the SDK, that maybe caused problems during generation. For detail information please read the CHANGES.txt coming with the distribution. This release is purposed for study only. It is not recommended to use for production environment. Anastasios Hatzis About pyswarm pyswarm is an active code-generator for model-driven development (MDD) of database-centric and n-tier server applications. Business logic is written entirely in Python and can be customized either in UML models or in complex Python method implementations, as elegant and powerful as code in Python can be. PostgreSQL is used as reliable database-server by the generated business logic components to store persistent entity objects. pyswarm is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). The licensor is the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE). Web-site: http://pyswarm.sourceforge.net/

qxjsonrpc 0.0.5 released - heavy refactoring, many improvements
by Ferenczi Viktor April 6, 2007

April 6, 2007

The qxjsonrpc package contains everything to implement JSON-RPC backends for WEB applications using the QooXDoo ( http://qooxdoo.org ) library or simply requiring RPC functionality. Download, example, etc.: http://python.cx.hu/qxjsonrpc Features: - Supports four type of HTTP transport: GET, POST (_data_ and separate variables) and ScriptTransport. - Any object can be a service, any method can be easily published using decorators. - Access control decorators: @public, @domain, @session and @fail. - It's possible to implement new access control methods easily, such as methods accessible only to administrators, etc. - Correct error handling by exception class hierarchy. - Session support (requires cookies when using the HTTP transport), Session object is automatically passed to the method. - Request object is passed to a method if decorated by @request, this gives access to all aspects of request handling. - Uses python-cjson-1.0.3x or simplejson to encode/decode JSON represenation. Extends both of them to transparently handle python date and datetime objects. - Simple implementation, the package's source code is fully documented by docstrings and comments. - Actively developed and bugfixed. (But very young.) More transports and server interfaces are planned (WSGI, CherryPy, WebStack, etc.). Expect more documentation, tests and examples. - Supports Python 2.4 and up, tested with 2.5.0. Highlights of this release: - Refactored into a real python package, now it has standard distutils install script. - Session support has been implemented and tested. - Source code is fully documentated (docstrings) and commented. - No tests using QooXdoo components for now, they are expected in the next release. Example: import math import qxjsonrpc import qxjsonrpc.http class MyService(object): @qxjsonrpc.public def getPi(self, *args): print 'Called: getPi%r'%(args,) return math.pi server=qxjsonrpc.http.HTTPServer() server.setService('myservice', MyService()) server.serve_forever() Run the script above, then open your browser and navigate to: http://127.0.0.1:8000/?id=1&service=myservice&method=getPi You will get a valid JSON-RPC response: {"error": null, "id": 1, "result": 3.14159265359} Please report bugs to: python(a)cx.hu

itools 0.15.3 released
by "J. David Ibáñez" April 6, 2007

April 6, 2007

itools is a Python library, it groups a number of packages into a single meta-package for easier development and deployment: itools.catalog itools.http itools.uri itools.cms itools.i18n itools.vfs itools.csv itools.ical itools.web itools.datatypes itools.rss itools.workflow itools.gettext itools.schemas itools.xhtml itools.handlers itools.stl itools.xliff itools.html itools.tmx itools.xml This release brings some fixes and a few programing and user interface improvements. The list of the most important changes, classified by package, follows. [itools.vfs] The new method "traverse" is a generator that traverses a folder and returns the path of every file and folder within it. [itools.csv] Now it is possible to define a column as an internal key that uniquely identifies a row within the CSV file. See the type "IntegerKey" and the method "get_key". [itools.ical] The search API has been reduced to methods "search_events", "search_events_in_date" and "search_events_in_range" (besides the more low-level method "search"). [itools.cms] The registration process and the user management interfaces have been improved. WebSite objects have gained the role "admins" (now we have four access levels: guest, member, reviewer and admin). The method "has_property" has been added to all CMS objects (it is a short way to call the metadata's "has_property"). Credits: - Hervé Cauwelier worked on "itools.cms". - Nicolas Deram worked on "itools.ical"; - J. David Ibáñez worked on "itools.vfs" and "itools.cms"; - Henry Obein worked on "itools.csv"; Resources --------- Download http://download.ikaaro.org/itools/itools-0.15.3.tar.gz Home http://www.ikaaro.org/itools Mailing list http://mail.ikaaro.org/mailman/listinfo/itools Bug Tracker http://bugs.ikaaro.org/ -- J.

ANN: PyPE 2.8.5
by Josiah Carlson April 6, 2007

April 6, 2007

=== What is PyPE? === PyPE (Python Programmers' Editor) was written in order to offer a lightweight but powerful editor for those who think emacs is too much and idle is too little. Syntax highlighting is included out of the box, as is multiple open documents via tabs. Beyond the basic functionality, PyPE offers an expandable source tree, filesystem browser, draggable document list, todo list, filterable function list, find and replace bars (no dialog to find or replace simple strings), recordable and programmable macros, spell checker, reconfigurable menu hotkeys, triggers, find in files, external process shells, and much more. === More Information === If you would like more information about PyPE, including screenshots, where to download the source or windows binaries, bug tracker, contact information, or a somewhat complete listing of PyPE's features, visit PyPE's home on the web: http://pype.sf.net/index.shtml If you have any questions about PyPE, please contact me, Josiah Carlson, aka the author of PyPE, at jcarlson at uci.edu (remember to include "PyPE" in the subject). PyPE 2.8.5 includes the following changes and bugfixes since release 2.8: (fixed) issue where double-clicking on a result while search was still going wouldn't actually go to the line of the result. (fixed) macros that use the line-based abstraction will now cause the parse timers to restart (just like hitting a keyboard key). (added) 'GotoLineS' utility method on stc instances for easy navigation to and selection of an entire line. (added) and disabled tagging tool. (fixed) commented/uncommented line discovery for latex documents. (fixed) vim option discovery when opening up latex documents. (added) the ability to disable individual tools if desired (disabling a tool prevents it from being updated, and may reduce tool refresh times). (fixed) calltips. (fixed) removed debug printouts for autocomplete. (fixed) View -> Go To Line Number, now goes to the proper line (not the one after), and now will always show the content of the line. (changed) stopped using combined file/text drop targets, drags could cause extra copies of text to be pasted at the end of the document. (added) ability to have a read-only view of a document in the wide or tall tools. See View -> Split Wide and Split Tall. Note that you can have two different documents displayed in either split. See View -> Unsplit for hiding removing the view to the documents (the split views persist even if you close the open documents, but will not update if you close and re-open the closed document). (changed) moved search code (for the Search tab) use a separate thread in order to increase interactivity, and to prevent lockups due to bad regular expressions. (fixed) checkbox updating for showing or hiding wide or tall tools when using the keyboard to toggle them on some platforms. (known issue) sometimes when attempting to use keyboard shortcuts, PyPE will not recognize the keyboard shortcuts. Click on an open document to allow the keyboard shortcuts to work again. (fixed) the 'Ignore .subdirs' option in the 'Search' tab; if you add a path of foo/, and there was a foo/bar/.subdir, PyPE will now ignore foo/bar/.subdir . PyPE mistakenly only previously ignored foo/.subdir . (fixed) Option Document -> Save Position will now properly go to the right position when there are document folds present. (changed) the way tree controls update their content during refresh. Should prevent unnecessary horizontal scrolling as was the case in PyPE 2.8, and be noticably faster. (fixed) classes or functions with the same names will no longer all be expanded in the browsable source trees when one is expanded. (fixed) icon update issues in the browsable source trees when classes, functions, or methods lose child nodes. (fixed) filter tool to not list #-- stuff -- style labels as having negative lengths, instead will have lengths of zero, and won't affect line counts otherwise. (changed) the included stc-styles.rc.cfg to make // comments the standard font size. (changed) adjusted the layout of the Find/Replace bar to use less horizontal space (really only noticable in the Replace bar). (fixed) pasting in a shell when non-editable data is selected will no longer change the non-editable data or result in an error dialog.
