From robin at alldunn.com Fri Feb 2 19:49:36 2018 From: robin at alldunn.com (Robin Dunn) Date: Fri, 02 Feb 2018 16:49:36 -0800 Subject: wxPython 4.0.1 Message-ID: <5A750720.7070408@alldunn.com> Announcing wxPython 4.0.1 ========================= PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/wxPython/4.0.1 Extras: https://extras.wxPython.org/wxPython4/extras/ Pip: ``pip install wxPython==4.0.1`` This release is a quick hot-fix of some issues discovered in 4.0.0 just after the release, plus a bit of low-hanging fruit that was easy to squeeze in too. Changes in this release include the following: * A fix for a segfault that happens upon startup on newer linux releases. (#648) * Set LD_RUN_PATH for the wxWidgets part of the build so the wx libs that are loaded by other wx libs can be found successfully. (#723) * Use wxApp::GetInstance to check if there is an existing wxApp object. (#720) What is wxPython? ----------------- wxPython is a cross-platform GUI toolkit for the Python programming language. It allows Python programmers to create programs with a robust, highly functional graphical user interface, simply and easily. It is implemented as a set of Python extension modules that wrap the GUI components of the popular wxWidgets cross platform library, which is written in C++. Supported platforms are Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and macOS, and Linux or other unix-like systems with GTK2 or GTK3 libraries. In most cases the native widgets are used on each platform to provide a 100% native look and feel for the application. What is wxPython Phoenix? ------------------------- wxPython's Project Phoenix is a new from-the-ground-up implementation of wxPython, created with the intent of making wxPython ?better, stronger, faster than he was before.? In other words, this new implementation is focused on improving speed, maintainability and extensibility of wxPython, as well as removing most of the cruft that had accumulated over the long life of Classic wxPython. The project has been in development off and on, mostly behind the scenes, for many years. For the past few years automated snapshot builds have been available for those adventurous enough to try it, and many people eventually started using the snapshots in their projects, even for production releases. While there are still some things on the periphery that need to be completed, the core of the new wxPython extension modules which wrap the wxWidgets code has been stable for a long time now. Due to some things being cleaned up, reorganized, simplified and dehackified wxPython Phoenix is not completely backwards compatible with wxPython Classic. This is intended. In general, however, the API differences tend to be minor and some applications can use Phoenix with slight, or even with no modifications. In some other cases the correct way to do things was also available in Classic and it's only the wrong way that has been removed from Phoenix. For more information there is a Migration Guide document available at: https://docs.wxpython.org/MigrationGuide.html The new wxPython API reference documentation, including all Python-specific additions and customizations, and docs for the wx.lib package, is located at: https://docs.wxpython.org/ -- Robin Dunn Software Craftsman http://wxPython.org From belangeo at gmail.com Sun Feb 4 10:12:42 2018 From: belangeo at gmail.com (=?UTF-8?Q?Olivier_B=C3=A9langer?=) Date: Sun, 4 Feb 2018 10:12:42 -0500 Subject: [Release] Pyo 0.8.9 (Python dsp library) Message-ID: Hello all, I'm glad to announce the release of pyo 0.8.9, available for python 2.7, 3.5 and 3.6.

The first release already provides features such as code analysis, code completion, go to definition, symbols for the workspace and editor, code formatting, find references, quick fixes and more (see http://www.pydev.org/vscode/ for details). All features have a strong focus on speed and have been shaped by the usage on PyDev over the last 14 years, so, I believe it's already pretty nice to use... there are still some big things to integrate (such as the PyDev debugger), but those should come on shortly. The requisites are having java 8 (or higher) installed on the system (if it doesn't find it automatically the java home location may need to be specified in the settings -- http://www.pydev.org/vscode/ has more details) and Python 2.6 or newer. By default it should pick the python executable available on the PATH, but it's possible to specify a different python executable through the settings on VSCode (see http://www.pydev.org/vscode/settings.html for details). Below, I want to share some of the things that are unique in PyDev and are now available for VSCode users: - Niceties from PyDev when typing such as auto-adding self where needed (note that having the editor.formatOnType setting turned on is a requisite for that to work). - Really fast code-completion, code-analysis and code-formatting engines. - Code completion provides options to import modules, top level classes, methods and variables (python.pydev.preferredImportLocation can be used to determine the location of the import). - Quick fix which automatically allows adding an import for unresolved symbols. - In-file navigation to previous or next class or method through Ctrl+Shift+Up and Ctrl+Shift+Down. See: http://www.pydev.org/vscode/ for more information!

Highlights from the changelog: Support for out of tree can interfaces with pluggy. Initial support for CAN-FD for socketcan_native and kvaser interfaces. Neovi interface now uses Intrepid Control Systems's own interface library. In particular a shout out to pierreluctg and felixdivo and who have both made multiple contributions to this release. What is it? ----------- The can package provides controller area network support for Python developers; providing common abstractions to different hardware devices, and a suite of utilities for sending and receiving messages on a can bus. The Controller Area Network is a bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other. It has priority based bus arbitration, reliable deterministic communication. It is used in cars, trucks, boats, wheelchairs and more. The library supports Python 2.7, Python 3.3+ as well as PyPy and runs on Mac, Linux and Windows.

It is part of the Astropy Project, which aims to foster an ecosystem of interoperable astronomy packages for Python. New and improved major functionality in this release includes: * Full support for velocities in the coordinates subpackage, including SkyCoord objects and proper motion corrections. * Very large ASCII files can now be read in as chunks, allowing larger tables to be efficiently read in, along with other performance improvements reading tables. * Time objects can now be read from or written to FITS files following the official FITS time standard. * Table mixin columns (e.g., quantities) can now be losslessly saved to HDF5 or FITS tables. * Constants can now be versioned using context managers. * Support for quantities in scipy special functions * A new command line script, "showtable", is available to display tables from any format Astropy can read. * The pytest plugins for testing Astropy have been moved to external packages, enabling their use in a wider range of Python packages. * False alarm probabilities are now available for the Lomb-Scargle periodogram implementation. In addition, hundreds of smaller improvements and fixes have been made. An overview of the changes is provided at: http://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/whatsnew/3.0.html Note that the Astropy 3.x series is the first to only support Python 3. Python 2 users can continue to use the 2.x series, which will receive bug fixes and support until the Python developers permanently sunset Python 2.7 (scheduled for 2019). Instructions for installing Astropy are provided on our website, and extensive documentation can be found at: http://docs.astropy.org If you make use of the Anaconda Python Distribution, you can update to Astropy v3.0 with: conda update astropy Whereas if you usually use pip, you can do: pip install astropy --upgrade Please report any issues, or request new features via our GitHub repository: https://github.com/astropy/astropy/issues Over 253 developers have contributed code to Astropy so far, and you can find out more about the team behind Astropy here: http://www.astropy.org/team.html As a reminder, Astropy v2.0 (our long term support release) will continue to be supported with bug fixes until the end 2019, so if you need to use Astropy in a very stable environment, you may want to consider staying on the v2.0.x set of releases (for which we have recently released v2.0.4). If you use Astropy directly for your work, or as a dependency to another package, please remember to include the following acknowledgment at the end of papers: "This research made use of Astropy, a community-developed core Python package for Astronomy (Astropy Collaboration, 2018)." where (Astropy Collaboration, 2018) is a citation to the Astropy Paper II: https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.02634 This paper is still under review, however, and an earlier paper is available describing the status of the package at the time of v0.2.

This is a bugfix release for some problems reported following the 1.14.0 release. The major problems fixed are the following. - Problems with the new array printing, particularly the printing of complex values, Please report any additional problems that may turn up. - Problems with ``np.einsum`` due to the new ``optimized=True`` default. Some fixes for optimization have been applied and ``optimize=False`` is now the default. - The sort order in ``np.unique`` when ``axis=`` will now always be lexicographic in the subarray elements. In previous NumPy versions there was an optimization that could result in sorting the subarrays as unsigned byte strings. - The change in 1.14.0 that multi-field indexing of structured arrays returns a view instead of a copy has been reverted but remains on track for NumPy 1.15. Affected users should read the 1.14.1 Numpy User Guide section "basics/structured arrays/accessing multiple fields" for advice on how to manage this transition.

You can find Python 3.7.0b2 here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-370b2/ Among the new major new features in Python 3.7 are: * PEP 538, Coercing the legacy C locale to a UTF-8 based locale * PEP 539, A New C-API for Thread-Local Storage in CPython * PEP 540, UTF-8 mode * PEP 552, Deterministic pyc * PEP 553, Built-in breakpoint() * PEP 557, Data Classes * PEP 560, Core support for typing module and generic types * PEP 562, Module __getattr__ and __dir__ * PEP 563, Postponed Evaluation of Annotations * PEP 564, Time functions with nanosecond resolution * PEP 565, Show DeprecationWarning in __main__ * PEP 567, Context Variables Please see "What?s New In Python 3.7" for more information. Additional documentation for these features and for other changes will be provided during the beta phase. https://docs.python.org/3.7/whatsnew/3.7.html Beta releases are intended to give you the opportunity to test new features and bug fixes and to prepare their projects to support the new feature release. We strongly encourage you to test your projects with 3.7 during the beta phase and report issues found to https://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 (2018-05-21). Our goal is have no ABI changes after beta 3 and no code changes after rc1. To achieve that, it will be extremely important to get as much exposure for 3.7 as possible during the beta phase. Attention macOS users: as of b1, there is a new installer variant for macOS 10.9+ that includes a built-in version of Tcl/Tk 8.6. This variant is expected to become the default version when 3.7.0 releases. Check it out! We welcome your feedback. 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 3.7 will be 3.7.0b3, currently scheduled for 2018-03-26.
