[ANN]: 'twander' Cross-Platform File Manager Version 3.231 Released And Available

'twander' Version 3.231 is now released and available for download at:

         http://www.tundraware.com/Software/twander

The last public release was 3.224.  This release fixes a number
of bugs and adds a variety of useful new features.  See the
WHATSNEW.txt file for all the details.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

What Is 'twander'?
------------------

'twander' is a macro-programmable Filesystem Browser that runs on both
Unix-like systems as well as Win32 systems. It embraces the best ideas
of both similar GUI-driven programs (Konqueror, Windows Explorer) as
well as text-based interfaces (Midnight Commander, List, Sweep).

Or, If You Prefer The "Elevator Pitch"
--------------------------------------

'twander' is:

   - A better file browser for Unix and Win32.
    (Tested on FreeBSD, Linux, Win32. Probably works on Mac OS/X, but not tested.)
   - A way to make browsing the same on all the OSs you use.
   - A macro-programmable tool that lets *you* define the features.
   - A GUI navigation front-end for your shell.
   - A way to "can" workflows for your technically-challenged colleagues.
   - A way to free yourself from the shackles of the mouse.

Moovida Media Center 1.0.4 Release

Dear Python users,

The Moovida team is happy to announce the release of Moovida Media
Center 1.0.4, code-named "All That Matters".

Moovida, formerly known as Elisa, is a cross-platform and open-source
Media Center written in Python.
It uses GStreamer [1] for media playback and pigment [2] to create an
appealing and intuitive user interface.

This release is a lightweight release, meaning it is pushed through our
automatic plugin update system. Additionally a windows installer is
available for download on our website.
As usual, for users already running Moovida, the upgrade to 1.0.4 should
be done automatically via the plugin repository.

The most visible feature of this new release is support for Windows 7.

A complete list of the issues fixed can be found at:

http://launchpad.net/elisa/+milestone/1.0.4

This is also summarised in the (attached) release notes.

Installers and sources can be downloaded from
http://www.moovida.com/download/

Bug reports and feature requests are welcome at
http://bugs.launchpad.net/elisa/+filebug

PyODB v0.8 Released

I would like to announce release 0.8 of PyODB. This adds a feature request
to allow connections directly to the ODBC database driver using connection
strings.

PyODB is a Python module and provides a simplified set of bindings
to unixODBC (http://www.unixodbc.org) allowing fast and easy development
of open database applications.

The module supports multiple data source connections with the following
connection methods;  execute(), fetch(), disconnect(), begin(), commit()
and rollback().

The software has been developed on a Linux environment using Python 2.x
and SWIG (http://www.swig.org). The module has been tested on Linux and
Solaris platforms using databases MySQL, Informix and PostgreSQL but
in theory should work on any platform supporting unixODBC and an ODBC
database driver.

To download the release visit http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyodb

Regards,
Neil Moses

ANN: A new version of the Python module which wraps GnuPG has been released.

A new version of the Python module which wraps GnuPG has been
released.

What Does It Do?
================
The gnupg module allows Python programs to make use of the
functionality provided by the Gnu Privacy Guard (abbreviated GPG or
GnuPG). Using this module, Python programs can encrypt and decrypt
data, digitally sign documents and verify digital signatures, manage
(generate, list and delete) encryption keys, using proven Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI) encryption technology based on OpenPGP.

This module is expected to be used with Python versions >= 2.4, as it
makes use of the subprocess module which appeared in that version of
Python. Development and testing has been carried out on Windows and
Ubuntu. This module is a newer version derived from earlier work by
Andrew Kuchling, Richard Jones and Steve Traugott.

A test suite using unittest is included with the source distribution.

Simple usage:

>>> import gnupg
>>> gpg = gnupg.GPG(gnupghome='/path/to/keyring/directory')
>>> gpg.list_keys()
[{
  ...
  'fingerprint': 'F819EE7705497D73E3CCEE65197D5DAC68F1AAB2',
  'keyid': '197D5DAC68F1AAB2',
  'length': '1024',
