ANN: Pyspread 0.0.12

[Martin Manns]

Pyspread 0.0.12 released
========================

I am pleased to announce the new release 0.0.12 of pyspread.

 
About: 
------
 
Pyspread is a cross-platform Python spreadsheet application. It is
based on and written in the programming language Python.

Instead of spreadsheet formulas, Python expressions are entered into
the spreadsheet cells. Each expression returns a Python object that can
be accessed from other cells. These objects can represent anything
including lists or matrices.

Pyspread runs on Linux, Windows and *nix platforms with GTK support. I
have reports that it works with MacOS X as well.

* Recursion detection dows not work on nested structures, i.e. when
  S[2,2,2] is referred to from inside a container object, pyspread will
  not realize a cycle. Therefore, a "Maximum recursion depth" error is
  reported (fixed)

  loading (use the old pys format instead)
