Subject: Thonny 2.0 released (Python IDE for beginners)
Message-ID: <d6064d7392f2c4bb5fd01f859eee8d9c@pohl.ut.ee>

 

Hi! 

Thonny is Python IDE for learning and teaching programming. It is
developed in University of Tartu, Estonia. 

It has an easy to use debugger which shows clearly how Python executes
your programs. Unlike most debuggers, it can even show the steps of
evaluating an expression, visually explain references, function calls,
exceptions etc. 

For more info and downloads see http://thonny.cs.ut.ee/ [1]

Subject: New Python User group in Reggio Emilia (Italy)
Message-ID: <CAOr0AwnJQbF-Jg1PHtKmwFv5GHNwj0eVpbiWE=WL6MaNiOtc5g@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I am starting a new Python user group in Reggio Emilia (Italy). To do so, I
started a webite with a temporary landing page @ www.pyre.it

Currently i'm developing the real website in Python using Flask and MongoDB

The website is in Italian, I hope the language won't be a problem for you.

Your comments are welcome.

Subject: ANN: pandas v0.19.0 released
Message-ID: <CALQtMBb9dAyP7e0-uhWcWK4U5LygaJwa8H7q6s-KV=UgsAbvqA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I'm happy to announce pandas 0.19.0 has been released.
This is a major release from 0.18.1 and includes a number of API changes,
several new features, enhancements, and performance improvements along with
a large number of bug fixes. See the Whatsnew
<http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.19.0/whatsnew.html> file

This is the work of 5 months of development by 117 contributors. A big
thank you to all contributors!

Joris

*What is it:*

pandas is a Python package providing fast, flexible, and expressive data
structures designed to make working with ?relational? or ?labeled? data
both easy and intuitive. It aims to be the fundamental high-level building
block for doing practical, real world data analysis in Python.
Additionally, it has the broader goal of becoming the most powerful and
flexible open source data analysis / manipulation tool available in any
language.

*Highlights of the 0.19.0 release include:*

   - New method merge_asof for asof-style time-series joining, see here
   <http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.19.0/whatsnew.html#whatsnew-0190-enhancements-asof-merge>
   - The .rolling() method is now time-series aware, see here
   <http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.19.0/whatsnew.html#whatsnew-0190-enhancements-rolling-ts>
   - read_csv now supports parsing Categorical data, see here
   <http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.19.0/whatsnew.html#whatsnew-0190-enhancements-read-csv-categorical>
   - A function union_categorical has been added for combining
   categoricals, see here
   <http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.19.0/whatsnew.html#whatsnew-0190-enhancements-union-categoricals>
   - PeriodIndex now has its own period dtype, and changed to be more
   consistent with other Index classes. See here
   <http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.19.0/whatsnew.html#whatsnew-0190-api-period>
   - Sparse data structures gained enhanced support of int and bool dtypes,
   see here
   <http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.19.0/whatsnew.html#whatsnew-0190-sparse>
   - Comparison operations with Series no longer ignores the index, see here
   <http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.19.0/whatsnew.html#whatsnew-0190-api-series-ops>
   for an overview of the API changes.
   - Introduction of a pandas development API for utility functions, see
   here
   <http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.19.0/whatsnew.html#whatsnew-0190-dev-api>
   .
   - Deprecation of Panel4D and PanelND. We recommend to represent these
   types of n-dimensional data with the xarray package
   <http://xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/>.
   - Removal of the previously deprecated modules pandas.io.data,
   pandas.io.wb, pandas.tools.rplot.

See the Whatsnew
<http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.19.0/whatsnew.html> file
for more information.

*How to get it:*

Source tarballs and windows/mac/linux wheels are available on PyPI (thanks
to Christoph Gohlke for the windows wheels, and to Matthew Brett for
setting up the mac/linux wheels).
Conda packages are already available via the conda-forge channel (conda
install pandas -c conda-forge). It will be available on the main channel
shortly.

Subject: Grako 3.16.0 released
Message-ID: <CAN1YFWv5OB_ZOB7V=u+5dy=UhevyMhdzBptkNYinMcimyHEHmw@mail.gmail.com>

*Grako* (for *grammar compiler*) is a tool that takes grammars in a
variation of EBNF <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebnf> as input, and outputs
memoizing <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoization> (Packrat
<http://bford.info/packrat/>) PEG
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsing_expression_grammar> parsers in Python
<http://python.org/>.
3.16.0
<https://bitbucket.org/apalala/grako/branches/compare/3.16.0%0D3.15.1> @
2016-10-01
Added

   - Test and publish *Grako* using Travis CI <https://travis-ci.org/>.
   - Added support for case-insensitivity to grako.symtables.
   - A base class can now be specified along with the object model class
   name in grammar rules.

integer::Integer::Literal

Changed

   - Reduced the memory used by symbol tables by replacing
   symtables.SymbolReference by the referencing objectmodel.Node.
   - Now grako.grammars.Decorator is public.
   - Demoted support for *left recursion* to *experimental*. It has been
   reported that even some simple cases are not handled correctly.

Subject: StdConfigParser 0.7 release
Message-ID: <224e63e5-39e5-2802-215a-7015ee14256b@mailbox.org>

Announcing the release of StdConfigParser 0.7

What is it?
-----------

This module provides a StdConfigParser class a simple standard INI 
configuration parser with a specified format. All is based on the Python 
standard library configuration parser. For Python 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 it acts 
as backport of Python 3.5 configparser module.

Additionally it extends the configuration parser with useful converter 
methods. They allow really powerful configurations by keeping all simple 
for the user.

All in one file with no dependencies.


What's new in 0.7
-----------------


- Allow ?:? as option (key) value separator.
- More examples in documentation.
- Default provided converters can be overwritten.

Currently very far from production-ready state, more like a toy for 
experiments.
That said, it is however able to translate Ruby Prawn library for

Subject: [RELEASE] Python 3.6.0b2 is now available
Message-ID: <4E66D65C-0EFF-41B9-9B5E-1B3FF60151B4@python.org>

On behalf of the Python development community and the Python 3.6 release
team, I'm happy to announce the availability of Python 3.6.0b2. 3.6.0b2
is the second of four planned beta releases of Python 3.6, the next major
release of Python, and marks the end of the feature development phase
for 3.6.

Among the new major new features in Python 3.6 are:

* PEP 468 - Preserving the order of **kwargs in a function
* PEP 487 - Simpler customization of class creation
* PEP 495 - Local Time Disambiguation
* PEP 498 - Literal String Formatting
* PEP 506 - Adding A Secrets Module To The Standard Library
* PEP 509 - Add a private version to dict
* PEP 515 - Underscores in Numeric Literals
* PEP 519 - Adding a file system path protocol
* PEP 520 - Preserving Class Attribute Definition Order
* PEP 523 - Adding a frame evaluation API to CPython
* PEP 524 - Make os.urandom() blocking on Linux (during system startup)
* PEP 525 - Asynchronous Generators (provisional)
* PEP 526 - Syntax for Variable Annotations (provisional)
* PEP 528 - Change Windows console encoding to UTF-8 (provisional)
* PEP 529 - Change Windows filesystem encoding to UTF-8 (provisional)
* PEP 530 - Asynchronous Comprehensions

Please see "What?s New In Python 3.6" for more information:

https://docs.python.org/3.6/whatsnew/3.6.html

You can find Python 3.6.0b2 here:

https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-360b2/

Beta releases are intended to give the wider community the opportunity
to test new features and bug fixes and to prepare their projects to
support the new feature release. We strongly encourage maintainers of
third-party Python projects to test with 3.6 during the beta phase and
report issues found to bugs.python.org as soon as possible. While the
release is feature complete entering the beta phase, it is possible that
features may be modified or, in rare cases, deleted up until the start
of the release candidate phase (2016-12-05). Our goal is have no changes
after rc1. To achieve that, it will be extremely important to get as
much exposure for 3.6 as possible during the beta phase. Please keep in
mind that this is a preview release and its use is not recommended for
production environments

The next planned release of Python 3.6 will be 3.6.0b3, currently
scheduled for 2016-10-31. More information about the release schedule
can be found here:

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0494/

Subject: PyDev 5.3.0 Released
Message-ID: <CANXBEFrF06m8+5DWwvMRxUrUqXV4uGkd2LVKVEbUQFx4imtP0Q@mail.gmail.com>

Release Highlights:
-------------------------------

* **Important** PyDev now requires Java 8 and Eclipse 4.5 onwards.

    * PyDev 4.5.5 is the last release supporting Java 7 and Eclipse 3.8.
    * See: update sites page for the update site of older versions of PyDev.
    * See: the **PyDev does not appear after install** section on the
download page for help on using a Java 8 vm in Eclipse.

* **Syntax validation for multiple grammars**

    * Helps to make code which is **Python 2 and 3 compatible**.
    * To customize, go to Project Properties > PyDev - Interpreter/Grammar,
and select **grammars for "additional syntax validation"**.

* **Code completion**

    * The code-completion can now do substring based matches (i.e.: the
proposals will be shown if any part of the completion matches the requested
name).
    * It's **still** not the default (to activate it, change the setting
**"Preferences > PyDev > Editor > Code Completion > Match substrings on
code completion?"** to true).
    * Completion proposals have the part of the completion used to do the
match in bold.
    * Qualifiers of the completion (i.e.: package name) are styled
differently (color may be customized in **General > Appearance > Colors and
Fonts > Basic Qualifier Information Color**).
    * Completions are re-sorted when the name used to request a code
completion changes.
    * **Sorting** is based on:

        * The current name typed (so that matches that are exact or start
with the requested token appear first).
        * The type of the completion (parameter, local, context insensitive
with auto-import, etc).
        * Where the completion was found (so, matches from the same project
go first, referenced projects second and standard library last).

    * **Ctrl and Shift Behavior when applying code-completion proposal**

        * Ctrl is always **"replace the current name with the completion"**
for all completions.
        * Pressing Ctrl to override the next name in code completion no
longer looses the highlight in the editor.
        * On code completion with auto-import, for doing local imports, the
pop-up must be focused and Shift must be kept pressed while the completion
is applied.

* **PyQt5 support in Interactive Console**

    * PyQt5 may now be used as a backend in the interactive console so that
widgets/plots can be inspected interactively while using the console.
    * May be activated with **%matplotlib qt5** (when using IPython) or in
**"Preferences > PyDev > Interactive Console > Enable GUI event loop
integration > PyQt5"**.

Subject: tox-2.4.0 released, moved to github, docs on readthedocs now
Message-ID: <20161012111636.GC28249@uwanda>


tox-2.4.0 brings some fixes and new features, see the changelog below.  Docs are now at:

    https://tox.readthedocs.org

and, thanks to Ronny Pfannschmidt, the tox repository is now on github:

    https://github.com/tox-dev/tox

also many thanks to Oliver Bestwalter, Alex Gr?nholm, Stefan Obermann, Danielle Jenkins, Ted Shaw, Andrzej Ostrowski and Florian Bruhin who helped with the release particularly during the crowd-funded testing sprint we had in Freiburg, June 2016.

have testing fun,
holger krekel


2.4.0
-----

- remove PYTHONPATH from environment during the install phase because a
  tox-run should not have hidden dependencies and the test commands will also
  not see a PYTHONPATH.  If this causes unforeseen problems it may be
  reverted in a bugfix release.  Thanks Jason R. Coombs.

- fix issue352: prevent a configuration where envdir==toxinidir and
  refine docs to warn people about changing "envdir". Thanks Oliver Bestwalter and holger krekel.

- fix issue375, fix issue330: warn against tox-setup.py integration as
  "setup.py test" should really just test with the current interpreter. Thanks Ronny Pfannschmidt.

- fix issue302: allow cross-testenv substitution where we substitute
  with ``{x,y}`` generative syntax.  Thanks Andrew Pashkin.

- fix issue212: allow escaping curly brace chars "\{" and "\}" if you need the
  chars "{" and "}" to appear in your commands or other ini values.
  Thanks John Vandenberg.

- addresses issue66: add --workdir option to override where tox stores its ".tox" directory
  and all of the virtualenv environment.  Thanks Danring.

- introduce per-venv list_dependencies_command which defaults
  to "pip freeze" to obtain the list of installed packages.
  Thanks Ted Shaw, Holger Krekel.

- close issue66: add documentation to jenkins page on how to avoid
  "too long shebang" lines when calling pip from tox.  Note that we
  can not use "python -m pip install X" by default because the latter
  adds the CWD and pip will think X is installed if it is there.
  "pip install X" does not do that.

- new list_dependencies_command to influence how tox determines
  which dependencies are installed in a testenv.

- (experimental) New feature: When a search for a config file fails, tox tries loading
  setup.cfg with a section prefix of "tox".

- fix issue275: Introduce hooks ``tox_runtest_pre``` and
  ``tox_runtest_post`` which run before and after the tests of a venv,
  respectively. Thanks to Matthew Schinckel and itxaka serrano.

- fix issue317: evaluate minversion before tox config is parsed completely.
  Thanks Sachi King for the PR.

- added the "extras" environment option to specify the extras to use when doing the
  sdist or develop install. Contributed by Alex Gr?nholm.

- use pytest-catchlog instead of pytest-capturelog (latter is not
  maintained, uses deprecated pytest API)

Message-ID: <1a60a4da-8844-5321-c1a1-e4f01ceb0eb6@vub.ac.be>


<Programming> 2017 : The Art, Science, and Engineering of Programming

April 3-6, 2017, Brussels, Belgium
http://2017.programming-conference.org

We started a new conference and journal focused on everything to do with 
programming, including the experience of programming. We call the 
conference <Programming> for short. Paper submissions and publications 
are handled by the journal. Accepted papers must be presented at the 
conference.

********************************************************
  CALL FOR PAPERS
********************************************************

<Programming> 2017 accept scholarly papers including essays that advance 
the knowledge of programming. Almost anything about programming is in 
scope, but in each case there should be a clear relevance to the act and 
experience of programming.

PAPER SUBMISSIONS: December 1, 2016

We accept submissions covering several areas of expertise. These areas 
include, but are not limited to:

? General-purpose programming
? Distributed systems programming
? Parallel and multi-core programming
? Graphics and GPU programming
? Security programming
? User interface programming
? Database programming
? Visual and live programming
? Data mining and machine learning programming
? Interpreters, virtual machines and compilers
? Modularity and separation of concerns
? Model-based development
? Metaprogramming and reflection
? Testing and debugging
? Program verification
? Programming education
? Programming environments
? Social coding

********************************************************
  CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
********************************************************

To build a community and to foster an environment where participants can 
exchange ideas and experiences related to practical software 
development, ?Programming? will host a number of workshops, during the 
days before the main conference. The workshops will provide a 
collaborative forum to exchange recent and/or preliminary results, to 
conduct intensive discussions on a particular topic, or to coordinate 
efforts between representatives of a technical community. They are 
intended as a forum for lively discussion of innovative ideas, recent 
progress, or practical experience on programming and applied software 
development in general for specific aspects, specific problems, or 
domain-specific needs. We also encourage practical, hands-on workshops 
in which participants actually experience one or several aspects of 
practical software development.

WORKSHOP PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS: November 15, 2016

The duration of workshops is in general one day, but we encourage the 
submission of half-day workshop proposals on focused topics as well. In 
exceptional situations, e.g., for workshops that involve actual practice 
of programming-related activities, workshop organizers can request a 2 
day workshop slot. If desired, the workshop proceedings can be published 
in the ACM Digital Library.

Leo <http://leoeditor.com/> 5.4-b1 is now available on SourceForge
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/leo/files/Leo/>. Leo is an IDE, a PIM and
and an outliner.

*The highlights of Leo 5.4*

   - Added clone-find commands, a new way to use Leo.
   - The clone-find and tag-all-children commands unify clones and tags.
   - The new pyflakes and flake8 make it possible to check files from
   within Leo.
   - Added importers for freemind, mindjet, json and coffeescript files.
   - Rewrote the javascript importer. It can optionally generate section
   references.
   - Imported files can optionally contain section references.
   - The viewrendered plugin supports @pyplot nodes.
   - Improved the mod_http plugin.
   - @chapter trees need no longer be children of @chapters nodes.
   - All known bugs have been fixed.

*Leo is*:

   - A fully-featured IDE, with Emacs-like commands.
   - An outliner. Everything in Leo is an outline.
   - A Personal Information Manager.
   - A browser with a memory.
   - A powerful scripting environment.
   - A tool for studying other people's code.
   - Extensible via a simple plugin architecture.
   - A tool that plays well with IPython, vim and xemacs.
   - Written in 100% pure Python
   - Compatible with Python 2.6 and above or Python 3.0 and above.
   - A tool with an inspiring and active community.

*Leo's unique features*:

   - Always-present, persistent, outline structure.
   - Leo's underlying data is a Directed Acyclic Graph.
   - Clones create multiple views of an outline.
   - A simple, powerful, outline-oriented Python API.
   - Scripts and programs can be composed from outlines.
   - Importers convert flat text into outlines.
   - Scripts have full access to all of Leo's sources.
   - Commands that act on outline structure.
   Example: the rst3 command converts outlines to reStructuredText.
   - @test and @suite scripts create unit tests automatically.
   - @button scripts apply scripts to outline data.

Subject: [ANN] 'tsshbatch' Server Automation Tool Version 1.317 Released
Message-ID: <m09ldd-ii03.ln1@oceanview.tundraware.com>

'tsshbatch' Version 1.317 is now released and available for download at:

         http://www.tundraware.com/Software/tsshbatch

This is a major update with important bug fixes and improvements.  Existing
users will want to update sooner rather than later.

The last public release was 1.228.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

What Is 'tsshbatch'?
--------------------

'tsshbatch' is a server automation tool to enable you to issue commands
to many servers without having to log into each one separately.  When
writing scripts, this overcomes the 'ssh' limitation of not being able to
specify the password on the command line.

'tsshbatch' has a sophisticated inventory management system (host
files) as well as a mechanism for organizing libraries of standard jobs 
(command files).  Both local and global variables may be defined and/or
used in either.

'tsshbatch' also understands basic 'sudo' syntax and can be used
to access a server, 'sudo' a command, and then exit.

'tsshbatch' thus allows you to write complex, hands-off scripts that
issue commands to many servers without the tedium of manual login and
'sudo' promotion.  System administrators, especially, will find this
helpful when working in large server farms.

'tsshbatch' is written in Python and requires the 'paramiko library.
It has been tested on a number of Linux and FreeBSD variants.

See Also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsshbatch

Related: Ansible, Capistrano, ClusterSSH, Fabric, PSSH, Rundeck 


WHATSNEW For 'tsshbatch' 1.317    (Sat Oct 15 16:12:34 CDT 2016)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

  - It is now possible to define local variables with the
    .local directive.  These have visibility and scope only
    with the file where they are defined, but otherwise work
    the same as globally defined variables.  Local variables
    also support "execution variable" style definition.

  - Hostfile names must now be passed using the -i option.  The
    argument can be the name of a single file or a quoted list of
    files.  The option can appear on the command line more than once.
    -H and -i can be used together to create custom host lists.

  - The -L option will list all (if any) host- and command files found
    on their respective search paths.

  - The -W option will write out the inventory of hosts that would be
    processed if you actually executed the program, and then
    terminates.  This works only in test mode.  This allows you
    to embed tsshbatch in external shell scripts like this:

       for server in $(tsshbatch.py -i devserverlist -uatserverlist -W)
       do
         ssh $server
       done

    Why?  Because tsshbatch has lots of powerful ways to maintain
    inventories of hosts and combine them through includes and
    multiple command line arguments.  The -W option makes it
    convenient for external programs to make use of those inventory
    features.

  - The -F "string ..."  option will examine every file on the host-
    or command paths, looking for matching strings within these files.
    Matches will report the file name, the location within the file,
    and the line containing any of the specified strings.

    This is a simple, case-insensitive string literal match and does
    not support regular expressions.

    This is handy when you're looking for a host name or command
    string, say like, "sudo", and you don't want to have to manually
    go through all your support files.

  - The -V "string ..." option does the exact opposite of -F.  It
    lists all the files that do NOT contain any of the specified
    strings.

  - The -r option has been added to suppress reporting of start/stop
    statistics.  This allows you to make statistics reporting the
    default, say via the $TSSHBATCH environment variable, but
    override it when you need to.

  - A new directive, .notify, tells tsshbatch to print an informative
    message from within a command file.  This is a runtime activity
    and is helpful, for example, when tracking progress of a long
    command file. Notifications are disabled in silent mode.

[CHANGES]

  - The -H option can now appear on the command line multiple times
    thereby creating an aggregate list of all hosts named therein.

  - Hostfiles must now be passed as an argument of -i.  This was
    done to provide a consistent way of passing multiple host
    files on the commandline.

  - .include targets (file name specifications) may now reference
    previously defined variables.


[BUG FIXES]

  - File transfers now properly honor the -s (silent output) flag.

I'm the author of a Python extension for the open source, MIT licensed and cross platform Visual Studio Code Editor (https ://code.visualstudio.com/).
This is developed using nodejs and python, MIT licensed running on all major OS (OS X, Linux and Windows).
The major features include:
- Auto complete (intellisense)
- Code navigation
- Linting (mypy, pep8, pylint, flake8, etc)
- Unit tests (pytest, nose, unittest)
- Jupyter (IPython)
- Debugging (django, flask, remote debugging, docker, multi threads, django templates, SSH, etc)
- Code formatting (autopep8, yapf)
- Refactoring, 
- Snippets and more

Please note, this is open source and MIT licensed. This isn't meant to be a competitor to IDEs like PyCharm, instead is a lightweight and cross platform alternative (editor).

I'm looking for some assistance in improving the capabilities of this extension (adding more features), looking for feedback suggestions and any help in maintaining it as well.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_%28text_editor%29>.

Leo is an IDE, outliner and PIM, as described here
<http://leoeditor.com/preface.html>.

Simulating Leo's features in Vim, Emacs or Eclipse is possible,
just as it is possible to simulate Python in assembly language...

*The highlights of Leo 5.4*

   - Added clone-find commands, a new way to use Leo.
   - The clone-find and tag-all-children commands unify clones and tags.
   - The new pyflakes and flake8 make it possible to check files from
   within Leo.
   - Added importers for freemind, mindjet, json and coffeescript files.
   - Rewrote the javascript importer.
   - Imported files can optionally contain section references.
   - The viewrendered plugin supports @pyplot nodes.
   - Improved the mod_http plugin.

Subject: ANN: psutil 4.4.0 released
Message-ID: <CAFYqXL-nFswoST_BHUL0G6=iTZoz_hTeBCTwSwNarWmXG3dGsg@mail.gmail.com>

Hello all,
I'm glad to announce the release of psutil 4.4.0:
https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil
Detailed blog post is here:
http://grodola.blogspot.com/2016/10/psutil-440-released-improved-linux.html

About
=====

psutil (process and system utilities) is a cross-platform library for
retrieving information on running processes and system utilization (CPU,
memory, disks, network) in Python. It is useful mainly for system
monitoring, profiling and limiting process resources and management of
running processes. It implements many functionalities offered by command
line tools such as: ps, top, lsof, netstat, ifconfig, who, df, kill, free,
nice, ionice, iostat, iotop, uptime, pidof, tty, taskset, pmap. It
currently supports Linux, Windows, OSX, Sun Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and
NetBSD, both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, with Python versions from 2.6
to 3.5 (users of Python 2.4 and 2.5 may use 2.1.3 version). PyPy is also
known to work.

What's new
==========

Enhancements
------------

- #874: [Windows] net_if_addrs() returns also the netmask.
- #887: [Linux] virtual_memory()'s 'available' and 'used' values are more
  precise and match "free" cmdline utility.  "available" also takes into
  account LCX containers preventing "available" to overflow "total".
- #891: procinfo.py script has been updated and provides a lot more info.

Bug fixes
---------

- #514: [OSX] possibly fix Process.memory_maps() segfault (critical!).
- #783: [OSX] Process.status() may erroneously return "running" for zombie
  processes.
- #798: [Windows] Process.open_files() returns and empty list on Windows 10.
- #825: [Linux] cpu_affinity; fix possible double close and use of unopened
  socket.
- #880: [Windows] Handle race condition inside psutil_net_connections.
- #885: ValueError is raised if a negative integer is passed to
cpu_percent()
  functions.
- #892: [Linux] Process.cpu_affinity([-1]) raise SystemError with no error
  set; now ValueError is raised.
- #906: [BSD] disk_partitions(all=False) returned an empty list. Now the
  argument is ignored and all partitions are always returned.
- #907: [FreeBSD] Process.exe() may fail with OSError(ENOENT).
- #908: [OSX, BSD] different process methods could errounesuly mask the real
  error for high-privileged PIDs and raise NoSuchProcess and AccessDenied
  instead of OSError and RuntimeError.
- #909: [OSX] Process open_files() and connections() methods may raise
  OSError with no exception set if process is gone.
- #916: [OSX] fix many compilation warnings.

I'm pleased to announce that Abjad 2.19 is now available.

    Abjad is a Python API for Formalized Score Control

    Abjad helps composers build up complex pieces of music notation in an
    iterative and incremental way. Use Abjad to create symbolic
    representations of all the notes, rests, staves, tuplets, beams and
slurs
    in any score. Because Abjad extends the Python programming language, you
    can use Abjad to make systematic changes to your music as you work. And
    because Abjad wraps the powerful LilyPond music notation package, you
can
    use Abjad to control the typographic details of the symbols on the page.

- GitHub: https://github.com/abjad/abjad
- PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Abjad/2.1
<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Abjad/2.17>9

Details of the new release appear below.

------------

## Improvements

- [#740] Proofread ?For beginners? section of docs. Thanks @delucis!
- [#741] LilyPond's log is displayed on LilyPond compilation error.
- [#749] Added `LilyPondCommand` to Abjad's global namespace.
- [#752] Taught `detach()` about different types of grace container.
- [#753] Taught `Dynamics` about _sforzando_ dynamic names.
- [#744] Refactoring and cleanup in `schemetools`. Thanks @ajyoon!
- [#745] Reimplemented Abjad's repr, storage format and object templating
system.
- [#755, #760, #761, #763] Cleaned-up class member ordering via a new
command-line script. Thanks @ajyoon!
- [#766] Abjad's `ajv` looks for `.ajv` config files in $HOME, the current
directory and any parent directory thereof. A [doctest] section can specify
imports to be run at the beginning of each doctest in `ajv doctest` via an
`imports` key.

## Changes

- [#745] `AbjadObject`'s `_storage_format_specification` and
`_repr_specification` properties are deprecated in favor of a new unified
`_get_format_specification()` method. The old properties will no longer be
supported in the next Abjad release: 2.20.

## Bugfixes

- [#762] Improved interaction between chords and ties. Thanks
@quesebifurcan!
- [#764] `IOManager.open_file()` respects Abjad's config when opening MIDI
files. Thanks @quesebifurcan!
- [#767] Fixed edge-cases in Graphviz attribute-handling and append/extend
behavior.
- [#774] NamedPitch.invert() guards against errors from multiply-augmented
or diminished intervals.

------------

Special thanks to 2.19 contributors @delucis (Chris Swithinbank),
@ajyoon (Andrew
Yoon) and @quesebifurcan (Fredrik Wallberg) on Github, and to Jeffrey
Trevi?o for his constant and patient organization.

Subject: Cython 0.25 released
Message-ID: <CADiQ+QCq7aX0gMp+yJr7u+Xusa-fWtXnxgJTQcZWnv8H+6kstg@mail.gmail.com>

I'm happy to announce the release of Cython 0.25 which has numerous
new features and bug fixes. It is available at
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Cython

We have also moved bug tracking from trac.cython.org to github issues.
However, user support still remains at cython-users@, please refrain
from filing issues until you have confirmed an actual bug.

- Robert


Features added
--------------

* def/cpdef methods of cdef classes benefit from Cython's internal function
  implementation, which enables introspection and line profiling for them.
  Implementation sponsored by Turbostream (www.turbostream-cfd.com).

* The distutils extension ``Cython.Distutils.build_ext`` has now been updated
  to use cythonize which properly handles dependencies.  The old extension can
  still be found in ``Cython.Distutils.old_build_ext`` and is now deprecated.

* Calls to Python functions are faster, following the recent "FastCall"
  optimisations that Victor Stinner implemented for CPython 3.6.
  See https://bugs.python.org/issue27128 and related issues.

* The new METH_FASTCALL calling convention for PyCFunctions is supported
  in CPython 3.6.  See https://bugs.python.org/issue27810

* C++ classes can now have typedef members. STL containers updated with
  value_type.

* Support for bazel using a the pyx_library rule in //Tools:rules.bzl.

* Initial support for using Cython modules in Pyston.  Patch by Daetalus.

* Dynamic Python attributes are allowed on cdef classes if an attribute
  ``cdef dict __dict__`` is declared in the class.  Patch by empyrical.

* Cython implemented C++ classes can make direct calls to base class methods.
  Patch by empyrical.

* New directive ``cython.no_gc`` to fully disable GC for a cdef class.
  Patch by Claudio Freire.

* Buffer variables are no longer excluded from ``locals()``.
  Patch by da-woods.

* Building f-strings is faster, especially when formatting C integers.

* for-loop iteration over "std::string".

* ``libc/math.pxd`` provides ``e`` and ``pi`` as alias constants to simplify
  usage as a drop-in replacement for Python's math module.

* Speed up cython.inline().

* Binary lshift operations with small constant Python integers are faster.

* Some integer operations on Python long objects are faster in Python 2.7.

* Support for the C++ ``typeid`` operator.

Significant Bugs fixed
----------------------

* Division of complex numbers avoids overflow by using Smith's method.

* Some function signatures in ``libc.math`` and ``numpy.pxd`` were incorrect.
  Patch by Michael Seifert.

Other changes
-------------

* The "%%cython" IPython/jupyter magic now defaults to the language level of
  the current jupyter kernel.  The language level can be set explicitly with
  "%%cython -2" or "%%cython -3".

Subject: Twisted 16.5 Release Announcement
Message-ID: <FB6A68CE-C189-4A7F-80E4-6748A1114EDE@atleastfornow.net>

On behalf of Twisted Matrix Laboratories, I am honoured to announce the release of Twisted 16.5!

The highlights of this release are:

- Deferred.addTimeout, for timing out your Deferreds! (contributed by cyli, reviews by adiroiban, theisencouple, manishtomar, markrwilliams)
- yield from support for Deferreds, in functions wrapped with twisted.internet.defer.ensureDeferred. This will work in Python 3.4, unlike async/await which is 3.5+ (contributed by hawkowl, reviews by markrwilliams, lukasa).
- The new asyncio interop reactor, which allows Twisted to run on top of the asyncio event loop. This doesn't include any Deferred-Future interop, but stay tuned! (contributed by itamar and hawkowl, reviews by rodrigc, markrwilliams)
- twisted.internet.cfreactor is now supported on Python 2.7 and Python 3.5+! This is useful for writing pyobjc or Toga applications. (contributed by hawkowl, reviews by glyph, markrwilliams)
- twisted.python.constants has been split out into constantly on PyPI, and likewise with twisted.python.versions going into the PyPI package incremental. Twisted now uses these external packages, which will be shared with other projects (like Klein). (contributed by hawkowl, reviews by glyph, markrwilliams)
- Many new Python 3 modules, including twisted.pair, twisted.python.zippath, twisted.spread.pb, and more parts of Conch! (contributed by rodrigc, hawkowl, glyph, berdario, & others, reviews by acabhishek942, rodrigc, & others)
- Many bug fixes and cleanups!
- 260+ closed tickets overall.

For more information, check the NEWS file (link provided below).

You can find the downloads at <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Twisted <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Twisted>> (or alternatively <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Downloads <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Downloads>>). The NEWS file is also available at <https://github.com/twisted/twisted/blob/twisted-16.5.0/NEWS <https://github.com/twisted/twisted/blob/twisted-16.5.0/NEWS>>.

Many thanks to everyone who had a part in this release - the supporters of the Twisted Software Foundation, the developers who contributed code as well as documentation, and all the people building great things with Twisted!

Twisted Regards,
Amber Brown (HawkOwl)
