[ANN] pyxser-1.3r --- Python XML Serialization/Deserialization Extension


Hello Python Community.

I'm pleased to announce pyxser-1.3r, a python extension which
contains functions to serialize and deserialize Python Objects
into XML. It is a model based serializer. Here is the ChangeLog
entry for this release:

---8<---
1.3r (2009.11.30):

  Daniel Molina Wegener <dmw <at> coder.cl>
  * pyxser_tools.c: Removed bug concerning deserialization of
  collection elements; pyxser now can handle extension declared
  classes, such as boost::python ones --- thanks to the
  suggestions made by Daniel Filonik.
  * pyxser.c: Added /selector/ as optional argument used as
  callback to select object attributes to being serialized.
  * pyxser_string.c: Removed bug concerning unicode serialization.

  Thanks pyxser users for your feedback...

Moving from Python 2 to Python 3: A 4 page "cheat sheet"

I've produced a 4 page document that provides a very concise summary
of Python 2<->3 differences plus the most commonly used new Python 3
features. It is aimed at existing Python 2 programmers who want to
start writing Python 3 programs and want to use Python 3 idioms rather
than those from Python 2 where the idioms differ.

It uses Python 3.1 syntax since that looks like being the standard for
a few years in view of the language moratorium.

The document is U.S. Letter size but will also print fine on A4
printers.

It is available as a free PDF download (no registration or anything)
from InformIT's website. Here's the direct link:
http://ptgmedia.pearsoncmg.com/imprint_downloads/informit/promotions/python/python2python3.pdf

And of course, if you want more on Python 3, there's always the
documentation---or my book:-)

PyLinkedIn 0.02

Hi,
I wrote a small library to interact with the newly opened LinkedIn OAuth
API.  Right now you can get the status of the current user and his/her
connections.  More will be added as needed in my own software.

At least one person found it useful so far, so I hope some other people do
as well.

Thanks,
Max Lynch

[ANN] doit 0.5

doit - Automation Tool

doit comes from the idea of bringing the power of build-tools to
execute any kind of task. It will keep track of dependencies between
"tasks" and execute them only when necessary. It was designed to be
easy to use and "get out of your way".

doit can be used as:

    * a build tool (generic and flexible)
    * home of your management scripts (it helps you organize and
combine shell scripts and python scripts)
     * a functional tests runner (combine together different tools)

homepage: http://python-doit.sourceforge.net/
PyPi: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/doit
license: MIT
contact: https://launchpad.net/~schettino72

Regards,
 Eduardo

ANN: Twisted 9.0.0

= Twisted 9.0.0 =

I'm happy to announce Twisted 9, the first (and last) release of
Twisted in 2009. The previous release was Twisted 8.2 in December of
2008. Given that, a lot has changed!

This release supports Python 2.3 through Python 2.6, though it is the
last one that will support Python 2.3. The next release will support
only Python 2.4 and above. Twisted: the framework of the future!

You can download the new release at our web site,

    http://twistedmatrix.com/

There were around 285 tickets resolved in this release. The full list
of changes is available here:

    http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/tags/releases/twisted-9.0.0/NEWS?format=raw

It's quite a huge list of changes spanning almost all of the Twisted
projects, so here are some of the more exciting changes:

In the core:
- The Windows IOCP reactor now supports SSL.
- The memcache protocol implementation got some nice new features.

In Twisted Web:
- There's a new HTTP client API and protocol implementation, starting
at twisted.web.client.Agent. It's still pretty low-level, but much
more flexible than the old API.

Registration open for DjangoSki Conference, March 2-4 2010

Registration is now open for the first DjangoSki Conference in Whistler, 
March 2-4 2010.

    http://djangoski.com

DjangoSki is a conference with a difference. It's set in the ski resort 
of Whistler and is half conference, half un-conference and, erm, half 
skiing.

Come to the conference and meet with our keynote speakers: Jacob 
Kaplan-Moss, Matt Berg and David Ascher [1], then go skiing on the hills 
with everyone in the afternoon.

Talk submission is now open. If you'd like to speak there, we'd love to 
hear you talk.  Ad-hoc talks, birds of a feather and so on are also a 
big part of the conference [2]

Afternoons, we break for skiing before reconvening in the evening [3]

There's lots more to talk about, but check out the website for more. 
Early birds are on a first come, first served basis, so register soon. [4]

We look forward to seeing you there.
