Hi! A new release of Pymacs is available as:
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard/pymacs/Pymacs.tar.gz
(Beware: the capital `P' was a lower case `p' in previous announcements.)
Pymacs allows Emacs users to extend Emacs using Python, where they might have
traditionally used Emacs LISP. Pymacs runs on systems having sub-processes.
No bugs were reported against the Pymacs proper. So, I got to risk some
new ones :-). There is no real need to upgrade, but testers are welcome.
As previously announced, Pymacs is now to be invoked by:
from Pymacs import lisp, Let
instead of:
import pymacs
from pymacs import lisp
Let = pymacs.Let
The goal is to turn Pymacs into a more genuine Python package, in the spirit
of Distutils. A tiny module gets installed so the previous methods work, be
warned that this compatibility module will disappear in some later release.
The various `push' methods of the `Let' class now return the `Let' instance
they act upon. This eases chaining pushes while creating such an instance.
Finally, the `rebox.py' example had two bugs corrected, one about unusual
argument flags, the other for older versions of Python.
Keep happy! Enjoy, enjoy! :-)
