From lukasz at langa.pl Mon Feb 4 06:32:25 2019 From: lukasz at langa.pl (=?utf-8?Q?=C5=81ukasz_Langa?=) Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2019 12:32:25 +0100 Subject: [RELEASE] Python 3.8.0a1 is now available for testing Message-ID: I packaged my first release. *wipes sweat off of face* Go get it here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-380a1/ Python 3.8.0a1 is the first of four planned alpha releases of Python 3.8, the next feature release of Python. During the alpha phase, Python 3.8 remains under heavy development: additional features will be added and existing features may be modified or deleted. Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and its use is not recommended for production environments. The next preview release, 3.8.0a2, is planned for 2019-02-24. Apart from building the Mac installers, Ned helped me a lot with the process, thank you! Ernest was super quick providing me with all required access and fixing a Unicode problem I found in Salt, thank you! Finally, this release was made on a train to D?sseldorf. There's a PyPy sprint there. The train is pretty cool, makes this "Wasm! Wasm!" sound. - ? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Where do I get it? https://oracle.github.io/python-cx_Oracle The easiest method to install/upgrade cx_Oracle is via pip as in python -m pip install cx_Oracle --upgrade What's new? This release focused on session pools. Specifically, a session callback may now be specified when a pool is created. This allows an application to improve performance by reducing the number of round trips to the database needed in order to set session state. A number of smaller enhancements and bug fixes were also made. See the full release notes for all of the details: https://cx-oracle.readthedocs.io/en/latest/releasenotes.html#version-7-1-february-2019 Please provide any feedback via GitHub issues ( https://github.com/oracle/python-cx_Oracle/issues). From pi at berkeley.edu Tue Feb 5 16:59:41 2019 From: pi at berkeley.edu (Paul Ivanov) Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2019 13:59:41 -0800 Subject: SciPy 2019 Conference - 10 days left for submissions, registration now open Message-ID: SciPy 2019, the 18th annual Scientific Computing with Python conference, will be held July 8-14, 2019 in Austin, Texas. The annual SciPy Conference brings together over 800 participants from industry, academia, and government to showcase their latest projects, learn from skilled users and developers, and collaborate on code development. The call for abstracts for SciPy 2019 for talks, posters and tutorials is now open. The original deadline for submissions has been extended and the new deadline is February 15, 2019. Conference Website: https://www.scipy2019.scipy.org/ Submission Website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scipy2019 *Talks and Posters (July 10-12, 2019)* In addition to the general track, this year will have specialized tracks focused on: - Data Driven Discoveries (including Machine Learning and Data Science) - Open Source Communities (Sustainability) *Mini Symposia* - Science Communication through Visualization - Neuroscience and Cognitive Science - Image Processing - Earth, Ocean, Geo and Atmospheric Science There will also be a SciPy Tools Plenary Session each day with 2 to 5 minute updates on tools and libraries. *Tutorials (July 8-9, 2019)* Tutorials should be focused on covering a well-defined topic in a hands-on manner. We are looking for useful techniques or packages, helping new or advanced Python programmers develop better or faster scientific applications. We encourage submissions to be designed to allow at least 50% of the time for hands-on exercises even if this means the subject matter needs to be limited. Tutorials will be 4 hours in duration. In your tutorial application, you can indicate what prerequisite skills and knowledge will be needed for your tutorial, and the approximate expected level of knowledge of your students (i.e., beginner, intermediate, advanced). Instructors of accepted tutorials will receive a stipend. -- _ / \ A* \^ - ,./ _.`\\ / \ / ,--.S \/ \ / `"~,_ \ \ __o ? _ \<,_ /:\ --(_)/-(_)----.../ | \ --------------.......J Paul Ivanov http://pirsquared.org | GPG/PGP key id: 0x0F3E28F7 -- _ / \ A* \^ - ,./ _.`\\ / \ / ,--.S \/ \ / `"~,_ \ \ __o ? _ \<,_ /:\ --(_)/-(_)----.../ | \ --------------.......J Paul Ivanov http://pirsquared.org | GPG/PGP key id: 0x0F3E28F7 -- _ / \ A* \^ - ,./ _.`\\ / \ / ,--.S \/ \ / `"~,_ \ \ __o ? _ \<,_ /:\ --(_)/-(_)----.../ | \ --------------.......J Paul Ivanov http://pirsquared.org | GPG/PGP key id: 0x0F3E28F7 From phd at phdru.name Wed Feb 6 11:46:23 2019 From: phd at phdru.name (Oleg Broytman) Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2019 17:46:23 +0100 Subject: CheetahTemplate 3.2.0 Message-ID: <20190206164623.vboiy4dvm42lbihp@phdru.name> Hello! I'm pleased to announce version 3.2.0, the first stable release of branch 3.2 of CheetahTemplate3. What's new in CheetahTemplate3 ============================== Features: - Dropped support for Python 3.3. - Implement LoadTemplate.loadTemplate{Module,Class} to load templates from .py[co], .py or .tmpl. - CheetahDirOwner caches compiled template in the template directory. - CheetahDirOwner now silently ignores errors on compiled templates writing. To get tracebacks set CheetahDirOwner.debuglevel = 1. - CheetahDirOwner and DirOwner byte-compile compiled templates to .pyc/.pyo. Errors on writing are silently ignored. Minor features: - Implement Compiler.__unicode__ under Python 2 and Compiler.__bytes__ under Python 3. Bug fixes: - Fix a bug in Compiler.__str__: under Python 2 the method now always returns str; it encodes unicode to str using encoding from the compiled source. Under Python 3 the method decodes bytes to str. Code: - Source code was made flake8-clean using the latest flake8. Documentation: - Remove outdated section markers. - Better documentation for ImportHooks. - Add an example of a universal makefile. CI: - Run tests with Python 3.7. - At travis deploy sdists and wheels for tags. What is CheetahTemplate3 ======================== Cheetah3 is a free and open source template engine. It's a fork of the original CheetahTemplate library. Python 2.7 or 3.4+ is required. Where is CheetahTemplate3 ========================= Site: http://cheetahtemplate.org/ Development: https://github.com/CheetahTemplate3 Download: https://pypi.org/project/Cheetah3/3.2.0/ News and changes: http://cheetahtemplate.org/news.html StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/cheetah Example ======= Below is a simple example of some Cheetah code, as you can see it's practically Python. You can import, inherit and define methods just like in a regular Python module, since that's what your Cheetah templates are compiled to :) :: #from Cheetah.Template import Template #extends Template #set $people = [{'name' : 'Tom', 'mood' : 'Happy'}, {'name' : 'Dick', 'mood' : 'Sad'}, {'name' : 'Harry', 'mood' : 'Hairy'}] How are you feeling?
    #for $person in $people
  • $person['name'] is $person['mood']
    • #end for

The first covers multiple programs, and the second focuses on a content-sync program: https://learning-python.com/using-tkinter-programs-on-android.html https://learning-python.com/mergeall-android-scripts/_README.html And yes, you read that right: Python tkinter GUIs, including the calendar, calculator, text editor, and incremental backup tool described in these docs, now work on your smartphone in addition to your PC, though they come with a few rough edges (and advertising) on Android today. And there was much rejoicing, --M.

Sources and binary wheels can be found at: https://pypi.org/project/scipy/ and at: https://github.com/scipy/scipy/releases/tag/v1.2.1 One of a few ways to install this release with pip: pip install scipy==1.2.1 ========================== SciPy 1.2.1 Release Notes ========================== SciPy 1.2.1 is a bug-fix release with no new features compared to 1.2.0. Most importantly, it solves the issue that 1.2.0 cannot be installed from source on Python 2.7 because of non-ASCII character issues. It is also notable that SciPy 1.2.1 wheels were built with OpenBLAS 0.3.5.dev, which may alleviate some linear algebra issues observed in SciPy 1.2.0.

It will automagically create a new virtualenv (or reuse a previous created one), installing the necessary dependencies, and execute your script inside that virtualenv. You only need to execute the script with fades (instead of Python) and also mark the required dependencies. More details here: http://fades.rtfd.org/ What's new in this release? - Automatically execute scripts from the web, supporting most common pastebins - Multiple (and missing) requirement.txt file support, which can now be nested - Avoid checking package availability if no PyPI dependencies indicated - Add an option to show the virtualenv path in the system - Better error/help on missing indicated script or executable from dependency - Improved logs, PyPI urls, documentation, multiplatform support, and several other small fixes/enhancements Nicol?s and I want to say a big thank you to the following collaborators that helped to improve and enhance fades in different ways for this version (in alphabetical order): Andr?s Delfino - https://github.com/andresdelfino I?aki Malerba - https://github.com/inakimalerba Martin Alderete - https://github.com/malderete To install and enjoy fades... - If you are in Ubuntu or Debian, you can easily install like this (but probably won't get *latest* fades: sudo apt-get install fades - For not latest debian/ubuntu you have a .deb here (with its Debian source file): http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fades/fades_8.1-1_all.deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fades/fades_8.1-1.dsc - Install it in Arch is very simple: yaourt -S fades - In any Linux if you have the Snap system: snap install fades - Using pip if you want: pip3 install fades - You can always get the multiplatform tarball and install it in the old fashion way: wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fades/fades_8.1.orig.tar.gz tar -xf fades_*.tar.gz cd fades-* sudo ./setup.py install Help / questions: - You can ask any question or send any recommendation or request in the Telegram group: https://t.me/fadesmagic ...or to the mailing list... http://listas.python.org.ar/mailman/listinfo/fades ...or in the #fades IRC channel (in Freenode). - Also, you can open an issue here (please do if you find any problem!). https://github.com/PyAr/fades/issues/new - The project itself is in https://github.com/PyAr/fades It's very easy to run latest development version: git clone https://github.com/PyAr/fades.git cd fades bin/fades Thanks in advance for your time! -- .

I wanted to announce here a "new" iOS app for coding Python: Pyto. It's available on the App Store and is open source. Features ===================== The app has a file browser with scripts, a code editor with syntax coloring and smart code completion and a console that supports input. It also has a REPL. Themes can be applied for the whole app. Debugger ===================== Scripts can be debugged with PDB and breakpoints can be set from the editor. Apple APIs with Python ===================== A module is pre-installed for accessing Objective-C class. An 'UIKit' module is written on top of it with all UIKit classes and an 'ui' module allows showing user interfaces created with Apple APIs. C Extensions ===================== iOS restrictions make impossible to load dynamic libraries outside the app bundle, so no module with C code can be installed, like NumPy, Pandas and Matplotlib. So, the main goal of this app is to provide latest versions of most popular libraries that have C code and cannot be installed by the user. The app has NumPy 1.16.1, Pandas 0.24.1 and Matplotlib 0.24.1. Matplotlib supports displaying figures on the console. Other pure Python modules ===================== Other pure Python modules can be installed with a minimal version of pip.

Go get it here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-380a2/ Python 3.8.0a2 is the second of four planned alpha releases of Python 3.8, the next feature release of Python. During the alpha phase, Python 3.8 remains under heavy development: additional features will be added and existing features may be modified or deleted. Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and its use is not recommended for production environments. The next preview release, 3.8.0a3, is planned for 2019-03-25. This time around the stable buildbots were a bit less green than they should have. This early in the cycle, I didn't postpone the release and I didn't use the revert hammer. But soon enough, I will.

Message-ID: Hi All, On behalf of the NumPy team I am pleased to announce the release of NumPy 1.16.2. This is a quick release fixing several problems encountered on Windows. The Python versions supported are 2.7 and 3.5-3.7. The Windows problems addressed are: - DLL load problems for NumPy wheels on Windows, - distutils command line parsing on Windows. There is also a regression fix correcting signed zeros produced by divmod, see the release notes for details. Downstream developers building this release should use Cython >= 0.29.2 and, if using OpenBLAS, OpenBLAS > v0.3.4. If you are installing using pip, you may encounter a problem with older installed versions of NumPy that pip did not delete becoming mixed with the current version, resulting in an ``ImportError``. That problem is particularly common on Debian derived distributions due to a modified pip. The fix is to make sure all previous NumPy versions installed by pip have been removed. See #12736 for discussion of the issue. Wheels for this release can be downloaded from PyPI , source archives and release notes are available from Github . *Contributors* A total of 5 people contributed to this release. People with a "+" by their names contributed a patch for the first time. * Charles Harris * Eric Wieser * Matti Picus * Tyler Reddy * Tony LaTorre + *Pull requests merged* A total of 7 pull requests were merged for this release. * #12909: TST: fix vmImage dispatch in Azure * #12923: MAINT: remove complicated test of multiarray import failure mode * #13020: BUG: fix signed zero behavior in npy_divmod * #13026: MAINT: Add functions to parse shell-strings in the platform-native... * #13028: BUG: Fix regression in parsing of F90 and F77 environment variables * #13038: BUG: parse shell escaping in extra_compile_args and extra_link_args * #13041: BLD: Windows absolute path DLL loading Cheers, Charles Harris From alex.gaynor at gmail.com Wed Feb 27 09:09:09 2019 From: alex.gaynor at gmail.com (Alex Gaynor) Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2019 09:09:09 -0500 Subject: PyCA cryptography 2.6 Message-ID: PyCA cryptography 2.5 has been released to PyPI. cryptography includes both high level recipes and low level interfaces to common cryptographic algorithms such as symmetric ciphers, asymmetric algorithms, message digests, X509, key derivation functions, and much more.

Advanced Scientific Programming in Python ============================================== a Summer School by the G-Node and the University of Camerino https://python.g-node.org Scientists spend more and more time writing, maintaining, and debugging software. While techniques for doing this efficiently have evolved, only few scientists have been trained to use them. As a result, instead of doing their research, they spend far too much time writing deficient code and reinventing the wheel. In this course we will present a selection of advanced programming techniques and best practices which are standard in the industry, but especially tailored to the needs of a programming scientist. Lectures are devised to be interactive and to give the students enough time to acquire direct hands-on experience with the materials. Students will work in pairs throughout the school and will team up to practice the newly learned skills in a real programming project ? an entertaining computer game. We use the Python programming language for the entire course. Python works as a simple programming language for beginners, but more importantly, it also works great in scientific simulations and data analysis. We show how clean language design, ease of extensibility, and the great wealth of open source libraries for scientific computing and data visualization are driving Python to become a standard tool for the programming scientist. This school is targeted at Master or PhD students and Post-docs from all areas of science. Competence in Python or in another language such as Java, C/C++, MATLAB, or R is absolutely required. Basic knowledge of Python and of a version control system such as git, subversion, mercurial, or bazaar is assumed. Participants without any prior experience with Python and/or git should work through the proposed introductory material before the course. We are striving hard to get a pool of students which is international and gender-balanced. Date & Location =============== 2?7 September, 2019. Camerino, Italy.
