Re: Python Ireland November Talks - 10/10/2007 - Corrected typo

Morning a!!,

Thanks to an eagle-eyed Davie Wilkins, he noticed that Room 3074 in
the Arts Building has no name, so please ignore Davis Theatre, that
was a typo.

Where:
3074 in the Arts block
( Map : http://www.tcd.ie/Maps/arts_block.html )

I have rectified that in the wiki as well:
http://wiki.python.ie/moin.cgi/PythonMeetup/October2007

All other details remain the same.

See you all there.

Cheers,

/// Vicky

PS: It's a huge lecture hall, can fit upto 100 people, so pass the
word around. :)

ANN: PyPE 2.8.8


=== What is PyPE? ===
PyPE (Python Programmers' Editor) was written in order to offer a
lightweight but powerful editor for those who think emacs is too much
and idle is too little. Syntax highlighting is included out of the box,
as is multiple open documents via tabs.

Beyond the basic functionality, PyPE offers an expandable source tree,
filesystem browser, draggable document list, todo list, filterable
function list, find and replace bars (no dialog to find or replace simple
strings), recordable and programmable macros, spell checker,
reconfigurable menu hotkeys, triggers, find in files, external process
shells, and much more.

=== More Information ===

If you would like more information about PyPE, including screenshots,
where to download the source or windows binaries, bug tracker, contact
information, or a somewhat complete listing of PyPE's features, visit
PyPE's home on the web:

    http://pype.sf.net/index.shtml

If you have any questions about PyPE, please contact me, Josiah Carlson,
aka the author of PyPE, at jcarlson at uci.edu (remember to include
"PyPE" in the subject).

PyPE 2.8.7 includes the following changes and bugfixes since release
2.8.5:

Version 1.1 of mod_wsgi is now available.

Version 1.1 of mod_wsgi is now available. The software and
documentation are both available from:

  http://www.modwsgi.org

The mod_wsgi package consists of an Apache web server module designed
and implemented specifically for hosting Python based web applications
that support the WSGI interface specification.

Examples of major Python web frameworks and applications which are
known to work in conjunction with mod_wsgi include CherryPy, Django,
MoinMoin, Pylons, Trac and TurboGears.

This is a bug fix release only and no new features are included. Two
main problems addressed are possibility of processes crashing when
multiple threads hit race condition on sending log output via
sys.stdout/sys.stderr, and conflict with the Apache mod_logio module
which would result in mod_wsgi daemon processes crashing. A
description of all changes in this version can be found in the change
notes at:

  http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ChangesInVersion0101

Updating to this version is recommended for all users.

If you have any questions about mod_wsgi or wish to provide feedback,
use the Google group for mod_wsgi found at:

Python in Action at USENIX LISA'07

All Python programmers already know that Python is a secret weapon  
for solving impossible problems while still giving you time to go on  
vacation, play in a band, and enjoy fine meals with your significant  
other.   However, do your coworkers know the real reason why you are  
so well-adjusted and happy?  Are they still skeptical curmudgeons?

Perhaps they would be interested in the "Python in Action" tutorial  
being presented at the USENIX LISA'07 conference in Dallas, November  
16th.   Further details about this tutorial are available here:

     http://www.usenix.org/events/lisa07/training/tutonefile.html#f4

Even if you already know Python, this tutorial is for you!   Fully  
updated to Python 2.5, this tutorial will show you how to make  
effective use of modern Python features for all sorts of practical  
tasks related to data processing and systems programming.  Special  
emphasis is placed on Python's very powerful support for iteration  
including list comprehensions, generator functions, and generator  
expressions. You will even see how to build a distributed data  
processing system using nothing but a single for-loop (well, okay, a  
few other things are in there, but it's mostly the for-loop).

Presented in two parts, the tutorial starts with an introduction to  
Python with a special emphasis on tasks related to data processing.   
The second half of the tutorial takes you on a tour of systems  
programming in Python including topics related to files, the file  
system, systems interfaces, interprocess communication, concurrency,  
and networks.   The class would be especially appropriate for  
programmers experienced in other programming languages who would like  
to know what Python programming is all about.

cx_Logging 1.4

What is cx_Logging?

cx_Logging is a Python extension module which operates in a fashion
similar to the logging module that ships with Python 2.3 and higher.
It also has a C interface which allows applications to perform logging
independently of or in tandem with Python.

Where do I get it?

http://cx-logging.sourceforge.net

What's new?

1) On Windows, ensure that the log files are opened in such a way that
they are not inherited by subprocesses; otherwise, the existence of a
subprocess prevents log rotation.
2) Build an import library on Windows and change the shared object
name of the module on other platforms so that other projects can use
it directly at the C level.
3) Removed unnecessary dependency on the win32api package on Windows.
4) Tweaked setup script to build PKG-INFO and MANIFEST using metadata
in the setup script instead of separate files.

cx_Oracle 4.3.3

What is cx_Oracle?

cx_Oracle is a Python extension module that allows access to Oracle and
conforms to the Python database API 2.0 specifications with a few
exceptions.

Where do I get it?

http://cx-oracle.sourceforge.net

What's new?

1) Added method ping() on connections which can be used to test
whether or not a connection is still active (available in Oracle 10g
R2).

2) Added method cx_Oracle.clientversion() which returns a 5-tuple
giving the version of the client that is in use (available in Oracle
10g R2).

3) Added methods startup() and shutdown() on connections which can be
used to startup and shutdown databases (available in Oracle 10g R2).

4) Added support for Oracle 11g.

5) Added samples directory which contains a handful of scripts
containing sample code for more advanced techniques. More will follow
in future releases.

6) Prevent error "ORA-24333: zero iteration count" when calling

cx_OracleDBATools 3.0b1

What is cx_OracleDBATools?

cx_OracleDBATools is a set of Python scripts that handle Oracle DBA
tasks in a cross platform manner. These scripts are intended to work the
same way on all platforms and hide the complexities involved in managing
Oracle databases, especially on Windows. Binaries are provided for those
who do not have a Python installation.

Where do I get it?

http://cx-oradbatools.sourceforge.net

What's new?

1) Changed backup and restore to use RMAN which allows for backups
while the database is running. The backup utility can now create
directories, uncompressed tar files or tar files compressed with
either gzip or bzip2 as desired. Server parameter files (spfiles) and
password files are now backed up correctly.

2) Added support for Oracle 11g.

3) On Windows, configuration is now read from the service directly and
the situation where the database is configured to start when the
service starts is now handled correctly.

4) Created build configuration script using the new version of
cx_Freeze which allows for building installer images on Windows and
RPM packages on Linux.

ANN: Farmhand 0.2-beta

The 0.2-beta release of farmhand code editor is now available for
download from

	http://dan-sg.com/farmhand

The editor is written in python, and uses wxPython and Scintilla. It
has a unique feature (AFAIK) - it replaces scrollbars with a sort of
bar graph that shows the outline/silhouette of the lines in the file,
like so:

	http://dan-sg.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/ss003.PNG

This is the first public release, there are rough corners here and
there, though it probably won't eat your files. I've used it for a few
months on Windows and Mac with no problems, don't know what it does on
Unix. Enjoy!
