[ANN] python-ghostscript 0.6
by Hartmut Goebel Jan. 16, 2018

Jan. 16, 2018

I'm pleased to announce the new release vor python-ghostscript: python-ghostscript 0.6 A Python-Interface to the Ghostscript C-API using ctypes :License: GNU Public License v3 (GPLv3) :Author: Hartmut Goebel <h.goebel(a)crazy-compiler.com> :Homepage: https://gitlab.com/pdftools/python-ghostscript :Download: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ghostscript `Ghostscript`__, is a well known interpreter for the PostScript language and for PDF. This package implements a interface to the Ghostscript C-API using `ctypes`__. Both a low-level and a pythonic, high-level interface are provided. __ http://www.ghostscript.com/ __ http://docs.python.org/library/ctypes.html This package is currently tested only under GNU/Linux. Please report whether it works in your environment, too. Thanks. Latest Changes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please note: Version 0.5 has been skipped to avoid version conflicts with the fork `python3-ghostscript`. All changes of that fork are integrated into this release. * Add support for Python 3.x (tested with Python 3.4). Minimum required Python version is now 2.7. * Add support for display callback and an example program using it. Thanks to Lasse Fister. * Add context-interface (for the ``with``-statement). * ``GhostscriptError`` now has an attribute ``code`` holding the numeric error-code. * ``Ghostscript()`` now accepts keyword-arguments ``stdin``, ``stdout``, ``stderr`` for setting the respective stream. This was already implementd in version 0.4.1, but not documented. * Add unittest suite (using pytest). * Several bug fixes and smaller changes. * Switch version control to git and move project to gitlab. See Readme-file for the new URL. * Set up continuous integration tests. Example ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here is an example for how to use the high-level interface of `python-ghostscript`. This implements a very basic ps2pdf-tool:: import sys import ghostscript args = [ "ps2pdf", # actual value doesn't matter "-dNOPAUSE", "-dBATCH", "-dSAFER", "-sDEVICE=pdfwrite", "-sOutputFile=" + sys.argv[1], "-c", ".setpdfwrite", "-f", sys.argv[2] ] ghostscript.Ghostscript(*args) -- Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | h.goebel(a)crazy-compilers.com | | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible |

Uplink v0.3 Release
by Raj Kumar Jan. 14, 2018

Jan. 14, 2018

Hi everyone, I am excited to announce the release of Uplink v0.3, an MIT-licensed library for building HTTP API clients: github.com/prkumar/uplink/ What is Uplink? ============== In essence, Uplink delivers reusable and self-sufficient objects for consuming HTTP webservices, with minimal code and user pain. It generates consumers from the classes and methods you define (loosely analogous to Django's ORM) and supports both synchronous and asynchronous requests, with support for asyncio and Twisted. What’s New in v0.3 =============== In addition to a few bug fixes and other improvements, this release includes direct support for returning deserialized response objects using marshmallow (https://marshmallow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) schemas. Further, users can easily extend support for other deserialization libraries by implementing an adapter class. See the full list of release changes here: https://github.com/prkumar/uplink/blob/master/CHANGELOG.rst Links ===== - GitHub: github.com/prkumar/uplink - Download: pypi.python.org/pypi/uplink - Documentation: uplink.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ -- Raj Kumar - raj.pritvi.kumar(a)gmail.com

ANN: htmldammit 0.1
by Tal Einat Jan. 7, 2018

Jan. 7, 2018

I'm happy to announce htmldammit <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/htmldammit>, a library for decoding binary HTML data into Unicode in the best possible way. Suggestions and comments are most welcome! Installation: `pip install htmldammit` Source: GitHub <https://github.com/taleinat/htmldammit> Rationale: When it comes to decoding HTML,Common libraries such as requests and BeautifulSoup do not make the best possible use of information from both the raw data as well as the HTTP Content-Type header. Combining them to get the best possible result is surprisingly far from straightforward. BeauftulSoup comes closest with it UnicodeDammit utility, but gives no direct support for taking advantage of Content-Type header information. Furthermore, in order to utilize the Content-Type header while preferring embedded charset declarations in a document when those exist, quite some hacking is required. htmldammit takes care of all of this. It uses UnicodeDammit in a non-trivial manner under the hood. It supplies simple functions to extract all of the needed data from a urlopen() and requests.get() response objects and return Unicode HTML. Additionally, a request hook for requests and an opener for urllib are supplied to make using this consistently simpler. Regards, - Tal Einat

NumPy 1.14.0 release
by Charles R Harris Jan. 7, 2018

Jan. 7, 2018

Hi All, On behalf of the NumPy team, I am pleased to announce NumPy 1.14.0. Numpy 1.14.0 is the result of seven months of work and contains a large number of bug fixes and new features, along with several changes with potential compatibility issues. The major change that users will notice are the stylistic changes in the way numpy arrays and scalars are printed, a change that will affect doctests. See the release notes for details on how to preserve the old style printing when needed. A major decision affecting future development concerns the schedule for dropping Python 2.7 support in the runup to 2020. The decision has been made to support 2.7 for all releases made in 2018, with the last release being designated a long term release with support for bug fixes extending through the end of 2019. Starting from January, 2019 support for 2.7 will be dropped in all new releases. More details can be found in the relevant NEP <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/master/doc/neps/dropping-python2.7-prop…> . This release supports Python 2.7 and 3.4 - 3.6. Wheels for the release are available on PyPI. Source tarballs, zipfiles, release notes, and the changelog are available on github <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/releases/tag/v1.14.0>. *Highlights* - The ``np.einsum`` function uses BLAS when possible - ``genfromtxt``, ``loadtxt``, ``fromregex`` and ``savetxt`` can now handle files with arbitrary Python supported encoding. - Major improvements to printing of NumPy arrays and scalars. *New functions* - ``parametrize``: decorator added to numpy.testing - ``chebinterpolate``: Interpolate function at Chebyshev points. - ``format_float_positional`` and ``format_float_scientific`` : format floating-point scalars unambiguously with control of rounding and padding. - ``PyArray_ResolveWritebackIfCopy`` and ``PyArray_SetWritebackIfCopyBase``, new C-API functions useful in achieving PyPy compatibity. *Contributors* A total of 100 people contributed to this release. People with a "+" by their names contributed a patch for the first time. * Alexey Brodkin + * Allan Haldane * Andras Deak + * Andrew Lawson + * Anna Chiara + * Antoine Pitrou * Bernhard M.
