ikaaro 0.20.0 released
by "J. David Ibáñez" Dec. 31, 2007

Dec. 31, 2007

This is a Content Management System built on Python & itools, among other features ikaaro provides: - content and document management (index&search, metadata, etc.) - multilingual user interfaces and content - high level modules: wiki, forum, tracker, etc. This is the first release of ikaaro as a separate package (before it was distributed as a sub-package of the "itools" [1] library). >From a functional and visual point of view, the changes of this release are modest: - Now we have a friendlier user interface to manage multilingual web pages. - Following the W3C recommendations [2], type extensions have been drop from the URI, so for example "http://.../index.html" becomes "http://.../index". However, the most important changes concern the architecture and the programming interface, and are strongly related to the changes in the latest itools version. This is the (new) architecture diagram: 4) The Content Management System (ikaaro) ----------------------------------------------------------------- 2) File Handlers & Database (itools.handlers) | 3) Web Framework ---------------------------------------------- | (itools.web) 1) Virtual File System (itools.vfs) | Summarizing: now the distinction between the different layers is cleaner. Another important change from the architecture point of view, we have decentralized three different aspects: - the definition of the fields to be indexed - the definition of the metadata fields - the upgrade logic Before these three aspects were defined globally, now they are centered on the objects. This means, for instance, that now it should be much more easy to develop third-party modules. Please check the upgrade notes for a more detailed description of what has changed.

PyPy-Sprint 12th-19th January Leysin, Switzerland
by Carl Friedrich Bolz Dec. 31, 2007

Dec. 31, 2007

===================================================================== PyPy Leysin Winter Sprint (12-19th January 2008) ===================================================================== .. image:: http://www.ermina.ch/002.JPG The next PyPy sprint will be in Leysin, Switzerland, for the fifth time. This is a fully public sprint: newcomers and topics other than those proposed below are welcome. ------------------------------ Goals and topics of the sprint ------------------------------ * Like previous winters, the main side goal is to have fun in winter sports :-) We can take a couple of days off for ski; at this time of year, ski days end before 4pm, which still leaves plenty of time to recover (er, I mean hack). * the overall idea of the sprint is to continue working on making PyPy ready for general use. A few more specific tasks: - app-level ctypes: getting to a basically usable point would be really nice. - JIT: there is a long-standing timeshifter refactoring, towards making the JIT be more interpreter-like. Starting it during the sprint might be a good way to share some of the knowledge of how the JIT really works. Alternatively, we can work on supporting ootype in the timeshifter. - Testing: e.g. we run various nightly test runs but the results are not summarized in a single page yet. - LLVM: llvm 2 is now at version 2.1 and nicely stable again. Our llvm backend has improved in the last few months, but refactoring it together with the genc backend to share code more directly would be a nice task. * We are open to all sorts of other tasks during the sprint, just propose something. ----------------------- Location & Accomodation ----------------------- Leysin, Switzerland, "same place as before". Let me refresh your memory: both the sprint venue and the lodging will be in a very spacious pair of chalets built specifically for bed & breakfast: http://www.ermina.ch/. The place has a good ADSL Internet connexion with wireless installed. You can of course arrange your own lodging anywhere (so long as you are in Leysin, you cannot be more than a 15 minute walk away from the sprint venue), but I definitely recommend lodging there too -- you won't find a better view anywhere else (though you probably won't get much worse ones easily, either :-) I made pre-reservations in the Chalet, so please *confirm* quickly that you are coming so that we can adjust the reservations as appropriate. The rate so far has been around 60 CHF a night all included in 2-person rooms, with breakfast. There are larger rooms too (less expensive) and maybe the possibility to get a single room if you really want to. Please register by svn: http://codespeak.net/svn/pypy/extradoc/sprintinfo/leysin-winter-2008/people… or on the pypy-sprint mailing list if you do not yet have check-in rights: http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-sprint You need a Swiss-to-(insert country here) power adapter. There will be some Swiss-to-EU adapters around - bring a EU-format power strip if you have one. ----------- Exact times ----------- Officially, 12th-19th January 2008. Both dates are flexible, you can arrive or leave earlier or later. We will give introductions and tutorials depending on who needs them, either on the 13th or the 14th.

ANN: cssutils 0.9.4b1
by Christof Hoeke Dec. 29, 2007

Dec. 29, 2007

what is it ---------- A Python package to parse and build CSS Cascading Style Sheets. main changes since 0.9.4a4 -------------------------- for full details for 0.9.4b1 see the relevant CHANGELOG: http://cssutils.googlecode.com/svn/tags/TAG_0.9.4b1/CHANGELOG.txt 0.9.4b1 - **FEATURE**: Added ``csscombine`` script which currently resolves @import rules into the input sheet. No nested @imports are resolved yet and @namespace rules do not work yet though! + **BUGFIX**: Serializing escape sequences add a single SPACE after each escape. This was not present until now so a sequence like "\\74 a" did come out as "\\000074a" which was not as intended. Also as a SPACE is inserted in any case all escapes are not padded to 6 digits anymore but are only as long as needed. + **BUGFIX**: Handling of illegal selectors is now same as the W3C CSS validator (and according the selector spec - I hope ;). Illegal selectors result the complete rule being dropped. Fixed are the following (edge) cases: ``a/**/b`` Meant was probably a space between a and b (plus maybe the comment) but it MUST be inserted. IE and Safari nevertheless seem to parse this rule as ``a b`` so as if a space would be present. cssutils now parses this selector as intented by the spec as ``ab``. ``a*b`` Again spaces around the UNIVERSAL ``*`` were probably meant by the author. IE and Safari seem to parse this **invalid** selector as ``a b``. cssutils ignores this rule completely! + BUGFIX: ``css.CSSRuleList`` is still a Python list but setting methods like ``__init__``, ``append``, ``extend`` or ``__setslice__`` are added later on instances of this class if so desired. E.g. CSSStyleSheet adds ``append`` which is not available in a simple instance of this class! This has been changed as no validation is possible in CSSRuleList itself. + IMPROVEMENT: Added better ``str`` and ``repr`` to cssutils.serializer.Preferences + IMPROVEMENT: Added position information to some error reportings (Property, CSSMediaRule + some internal changes license ------- cssutils is published under the LGPL. download -------- for download options for see http://cthedot.de/cssutils/ cssutils needs Python 2.4 or higher (tested with Python 2.5 on Vista only) bug reports, comments, etc are very much appreciated! thanks, Christof

Gluon 1.15 is out
by Massimo Di Pierro Dec. 28, 2007

Dec. 28, 2007

Hello everybody, Gluon 1.15 is out. This is a free open source framework for agile development of secure database driven web applications, written in Python, programmable in Python. Stable API and supported since October 1st 2007. http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu http://www.vimeo.com/428474 (video tutorial) http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/appliances (free plugin apps for gluon with source) Some features: no installation (it is a single executable), no configuration files, no shell commands, all development, deployment and maintenance is done via a web interface built-in ticketing system; if your app has a bug it is logged, the user is notified and ticket is issued so that the administrator can retrieve the event via the administrative interface. Example of a COMPLETE working gluon app: ---------- model: db.py ------------ db=SQLDB('sqlite://file.db') db.define_table('images',SQLField('file','upload')) ---------- controller: default.py --------- def index(): form=SQLFORM(db.images) if form.accepts(request.vars,session): response.flash='image uploaded' return dict(form=form) ------------------------------------------- what does it do? it creates the database, creates the table (if it does not exists) or alters the table (if description does not match), creates a web page called index with an upload form for the image. When the visitor clicks submit, the file is uploaded, renamed in a safe way, stored in a file serverside, the name is stored in the database, and the user is a notified. It also creates a session and handles it via a cookie. It also writes a web based administrative interface for the newly created database. Massimo

RELEASE: twill 0.9
by Titus Brown Dec. 28, 2007

Dec. 28, 2007

ANNOUNCING twill v0.9. twill is a simple language for browsing the Web. It's designed for automated testing of Web sites, but it can be used to interact with Web sites in a variety of ways. In particular, twill supports form submission, cookies, redirects, and HTTP authentication. This release of twill is officially "Pretty Dang Stable". A twill script to use the "I'm feeling lucky" button on Google looks like this: setlocal query "twill Python" go http://www.google.com/ fv 1 q $query submit btnI # use the "I'm feeling lucky" button show (Note that using this script abuses Google's Terms of Service. So don't.) You can install the latest release of twill with easy_install, easy_install twill or download this release at http://darcs.idyll.org/~t/projects/twill-0.9.tar.gz Documentation is included in the .tar.gz and is also online at http://twill.idyll.org/ Miscellaneous details: twill is implemented in Python and uses pyparsing and mechanize. In addition to the existing simple command language, twill can easily be extended with Python. twill also provides a fairly simple and well-documented wrapper around mechanize. Note that twill does not understand JavaScript. --- Significant changes with 0.9: - many small bugs were fixed, of course! - patched subprocess pipe problem (Chris Abraham). This fixes problems with long-running twill processes. - twill now "plays nice" with other versions of mechanize and ClientForm (good for including it in distributions). - Corrected license information => MIT in all files. - new 'info' command gives human-readable page summary.
