ANN: pyTerra 0.6: TerraServer module for Python

A new version of pyTerra (0.6) is now available.  It fixes a number of issues:

     * Fix to compensate for TerraServer messing up some tile requests 
(image shifting).
     * Thread cue so a request doesn't generate the same number of threads 
as tiles.
     * Local tile caching (off by default) in TerraImage.
     * Provided a public TerraImage.download() method that returns the PIL 
Image.

pyTerra is a Python module that allows you to make requests to Microsoft's
TerraServer. With it, you can download cartographic images for any almost
any geographic extent in the conterminous US. It mimics the SOAP API
provided by the TerraServer located at
<<http://terraservice.net/TerraService.asmx>http://terraservice.net/TerraService.asmx>. 
A helper class is also
provided that reduces the interaction required to defining a bounding box
and writing the image out to the file system.

A source distribution and Windows binary is provided.

See <<http://hobu.biz/software/pyTerra>http://hobu.biz/software/pyTerra> 
for more information and download.

[ANN] Atox 0.1c1 released

Atox is a framework for automated markup. With it one can quite easily
write custom scripts for converting plain text into XML in any way one
wishes. Atox is normally used as a command-line script, using a simple
XML language to specify the desired transformation from text to
markup, but it is also possible to build custom parsers using the Atox
library. The name (short for ASCII-to-XML) is inspired by such UNIX
tools and system functions as atops and atoi.

Atox is hosted at SourceForge (http://atox.sf.net) and the current
release (0.1c1) is available for download via its project page
(http://sf.net/projects/atox).

Feedback, especially about bugs and installation problems, is much
appreciated.

WindPySend : GuiAPI

With this DLL you can simulate keyboard input and Mouse mouvement on
your Windows 98/NT/2000 machine.

It's design to : 
-test application,
-simulate user inputs on remote machines,
-automize some tasks within your preferred applications.
-You can build, what I call a GuiAPI.

Check at : http://users.swing.be/wintclsend/windpysend/

This is the clone of WinTclSend wich runs since about 4 years
(http://users.swing.be/wintclsend/)

Thanks.

[ANN]PyCrash 0.2-stable released

Hi,
a new version of PyCrash is released with some bug fixes done. You can
download it at

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=98026&package_id=105002

Enjoy!
_______________________________________________________________________
About PyCrash Project:
PyCrash is a crash handler that handles uncaught exceptions during
program execution and collects information about the program context.
PyCrash can be very useful in report bug information, because the
programmer can easily analyse the program execution context of the
crashed application.

Major information collected by PyCrash in the crash dump is: 

- Information about operating system, Python and Python Standard
  Library version and general information about the program that is 
  crashed (e.g., program name and version, time at witch program 
  started and ended, and so on)

- Information about the uncaught exceptions, like the exception type, 
  the context (namely method name) in which the exception occurred and 
  the exception value

- General information about variables state

- Information about the stack of each thread, like the list of stack 
  frames, the variables value in each stack frame, and so on

The outline has proven most liberating in terms of testing ideas out.
Thanks a lot! -- anon

finally understand how to use clones and I realized that this is
