[ANNOUNCE] pypiserver 0.5.0 - minimal pypi server

Hi,

I've just uploaded pypiserver 0.5.0 to the python package index.

pypiserver is a minimal PyPI compatible server. It can be used to serve
a set of packages and eggs to easy_install or pip.

pypiserver is easy to install (i.e. just easy_install pypiserver). It
doesn't have any external dependencies.

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pypiserver/ should contain enough
information to easily get you started running your own PyPI server in a
few minutes.

The code is available on github: https://github.com/schmir/pypiserver

Changes in version 0.5.0
-------------------------
- make setup.py install without calling 2to3 by changing source code
  to be compatible with both python 2 and python 3. We now ship a
  slightly patched version of bottle. The upcoming bottle 0.11
  also contains these changes.
- make the single-file pypi-server-standalone.py work with python 3

-- 
Cheers,
Ralf

ANN: Python Tools for Visual Studio 1.1 Beta 1

We're pleased to announce the release of Python Tools for Visual Studio 1.1 Beta (
http://pytools.codeplex.com/releases/view/76089 ). Python Tools for Visual Studio (PTVS) is an
open-source plug-in for Visual Studio which supports programming with the Python programming
language. This release includes new core IDE features, a couple of new sample libraries for interacting
with Kinect and Excel, and many bug fixes for issues reported since the release of 1.0.

Since the last alpha release we've fixed over 30 bugs and implemented several features around the project
system and references. For IronPython users you can now add references to .NET projects or .NET
assemblies and we'll automatically reload and re-analyze the references when they're rebuilt. For
CPython users you can now add a reference to a .pyd extension module and we'll analyze the extension module
and provide completions. We've also improved intellisense across multiple Python projects in the same
solution. Finally we've added support for using IPython mode w/o PyLab - this enables out-of-line graphs
and improves the startup time of the interactive window.

We've also added many new features which improve the basic editing experience which were also available
during 1.1 Alpha. This includes a feature for automatically adding imports after typing an identifier, a
command for cleaning up unused imports, support for recognizing isinstance() calls and using them for
providing improved completions, and using goto definition to go to members defined in the standard
library. We've also made improvements to the project system so it'll behave more like the C# including
proper support of linked files outside of the project directory. And we've made some improvements to our
IPython REPL support including support for inline graphs and proper support for IPython's numbered
prompts. Finally we've made several small improvements to the debugger including th
 e option to step into the Python standard library while debugging, the option to not break on SystemExit
exception with exit codes of zero as well as displaying the Python thread name in the threads
  window. Altogether this release includes over 130 features and bug fixes since 1.0 - a complete list of the
changes is available here: http://bit.ly/IpyTools11Beta1Fixes

Another major addition to 1.1 includes the addition of two additional sample libraries available as
separate downloads: PyKinect for working with the Kinect Beta SDK and Pyvot for working with Excel
spreadsheets. Once downloaded and installed these plug-in to Visual Studio and provide templates; and

ANN: Speedometer 2.4 - bandwidth and download monitor

Announcing Speedometer 2.8
--------------------------

Speedometer home page:
  http://excess.org/speedometer/

Download:
  http://excess.org/speedometer/speedometer-2.8.tar.gz

New in this release:
====================

 - Added a linear scale option: -l.  Best used in combination with
   -m (and possibly -n) to customize the range to be displayed.
   Thanks to jukie.net for sponsoring this feature.

 - Replace silly "curved" reading with a weighted moving average

 - New option to display all values in bits per second: -s

 - New options to set minimum (-n) and maximum (-m) values
   displayed on the graphs in bytes/s.
   Defaults are -n 32 and -m 2**32

 - Accept shortened versions of -rx and -tx: -r and -t
   My intent is to drop use of the original forms in 3.0 and add
   --long-versions of all options

 - Use IEC notation of sizes MiB, GiB etc.

Sapin
