ANN: python-blosc 1.1 RC1, a wrapper for the compression library, is available

================================
Announcing python-blosc 1.1 RC1
================================

What is it?
===========

python-blosc (http://blosc.pydata.org/) is a Python wrapper for the
Blosc compression library.

Blosc (http://blosc.org) is a high performance compressor optimized for
binary data.  It has been designed to transmit data to the processor
cache faster than the traditional, non-compressed, direct memory fetch
approach via a memcpy() OS call.  Whether this is achieved or not
depends of the data compressibility, the number of cores in the system,
and other factors.  See a series of benchmarks conducted for many
different systems: http://blosc.org/trac/wiki/SyntheticBenchmarks.

Blosc works well for compressing numerical arrays that contains data
with relatively low entropy, like sparse data, time series, grids with
regular-spaced values, etc.

There is also a handy command line for Blosc called Bloscpack
(https://github.com/esc/bloscpack) that allows you to compress large
binary datafiles on-disk.  Although the format for Bloscpack has not
stabilized yet, it allows you to effectively use Blosc from your
favorite shell.

[RELEASED] Python 2.7.5

It is my greatest pleasure to announce the release of Python 2.7.5.

2.7.5 is the latest maintenance release in the Python 2.7 series. You may be
surprised to hear from me so soon, as Python 2.7.4 was released slightly more
than a month ago. As it turns out, 2.7.4 had several regressions and
incompatibilities with 2.7.3. Among them were regressions in the zipfile, gzip,
and logging modules. 2.7.5 fixes these. In addition, a data file for testing in
the 2.7.4 tarballs and binaries aroused the suspicion of some virus
checkers. The 2.7.5 release removes this file to resolve that issue.

For details, see the Misc/NEWS file in the distribution or view it at

    http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/ab05e7dd2788/Misc/NEWS

Downloads are at

    http://python.org/download/releases/2.7.5/

As always, please report bugs to

    http://bugs.python.org/

(Thank you to those who reported these bugs in 2.7.4.)

This is a production release.

Happy May,
Benjamin Peterson
2.7 Release Manager
(on behalf of all of Python 2.7's contributors)

devpi-server-0.8.5: fixes, fewer dependencies for pypi caching server

Hi all,

just did a quick release of devpi-server 0.8.5, the pypi.python.org
caching server.  This should fix some cases of uninstallable packages 
and removes "pip" and "virtualenv" from its dependencies.  See

    https://pypi.python.org/pypi/devpi-server

for details.  Thanks to Markus Zapke-Gruendemann for some help
and to everybody for reporting issues.

cheers,
holger
