Roundup Issue Tracker releases 0.8.5 (stable) and 0.9.0b1 (development)
Roundup is a simple-to-use and -install issue-tracking system with command-line, web and e-mail interfaces. It is based on the winning design from Ka-Ping Yee in the Software Carpentry Track design competition. The 0.8.5 stable release includes an Argentinian Spanish translation by Ramiro Morales and fixes some bugs: - Display of Multilinks where linked Class labelprop values are None - Fix references to the old * Registration Permissions - Fix missing merge of fix to sf bug 1177057 - Fix RDBMS indexer indexing UTF-8 words that encode to 30 chars - Handle invalidly-specified charsets in incoming email The 0.9.0b1 development release includes: - added imapServer.py script (sf patch 934567) - added date selection popup windows (thanks Marcus Priesch) - added Xapian indexer; replaces standard indexers if Xapian is available* - mailgw subject parsing has configurable levels of strictness - nosy messages may be sent individually to all recipients - remember where we came from when logging in (sf patch 1312889) *: unfortunately the latest release of Xapian (0.9.2) has a bug in the Python bindings which prevents this indexer from working, so it's disabled If you're upgrading from an older version of Roundup you *must* follow the Software Upgrade guidelines given in the maintenance documentation. Roundup requires python 2.3 or later for correct operation. To give Roundup a try, just download (see below), unpack and run:: python demo.py Source and documentation is available at the website: http://roundup.sourceforge.net/ Release Info (via download page): http://sourceforge.net/projects/roundup Mailing lists - the place to ask questions: http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=31577 About Roundup = Roundup is a simple-to-use and -install issue-tracking system with command-line, web and e-mail interfaces. It is based on the winning design from Ka-Ping Yee in the Software Carpentry Track design competition. Note: Ping is not responsible for this project. The contact for this project is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Roundup manages a number of issues (with flexible properties such as description, priority, and so on) and provides the ability to: (a) submit new issues, (b) find and edit existing issues, and (c) discuss issues with other participants. The system will facilitate communication among the participants by managing discussions and notifying interested parties when issues are edited. One of the major design goals for Roundup that it be simple to get going. Roundup is therefore usable out of the box with any python 2.3+ installation. It doesn't even need to be installed to be operational, though a disutils-based install script is provided. It comes with two issue tracker templates (a classic bug/feature tracker and a minimal skeleton) and five database back-ends (anydbm, sqlite, metakit, mysql and postgresql). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html
ABT 0.7
Initial release of ABT 0.7 under QPL license http://dev.artenum.com/projects/abt ABT automates the building of projects by executing the minimum set of commands to update the project like the famous Make. ABT is given a file, called the recipe (filename is abt-recipe.xml), that describes how the files that make up the project are related (how they are dependent upon one another) and how to update (build) those files. ABT checks the dates on the files to see if any need to be updated (when a target is older than one of its sources). If there are files that need to be updated, ABT executes the rule actions specified in the recipe for that purpose. ABT have also testing features that permit you to check if binaries you need to build your sources are present on the installation system. This checking phase is cached. Command execution are OS dependant so you can specify commands depending if you are running windows or unix system. ABT is the perfet tool for fast Jython/Java based application packaging and deployement because it may be integrated in the distribution and boostraped by the Jython interpreter. It's usefull for all kins of project and is not limited to Jython/Java projects. ABT is pure Python 2.1 written and so is interpretable with Jython. It includes a basic Makefile2recipe converter helping you migrating from Makefiles.

py2exe 0.6.3 released
py2exe 0.6.3 released = py2exe is a Python distutils extension which converts Python scripts into executable Windows programs, able to run without requiring a Python installation. Console and Windows (GUI) applications, Windows NT services, exe and dll COM servers are supported. Changes in 0.6.3: * First release assembled by py2exe's new maintainer, Jimmy Retzlaff. Code changes in this release are from Thomas Heller and Gordon Scott. * The dll-excludes option is now available on the command line. It was only possible to specify that in the options argument to the setup function before. The dll-excludes option can now be used to filter out dlls like msvcr71.dll or even w9xpopen.exe. * Fix from Gordon Scott: py2exe crashed copying extension modules in packages. Changes in 0.6.2: * Several important bugfixes: - bundled extensions in packages did not work correctly, this made the wxPython single-file sample fail with newer wxPython versions. - occasionally dlls/pyds were loaded twice, with very strange effects. - the source distribution was not complete. - it is now possible to build a debug version of py2exe. Changes in 0.6.1: * py2exe can now bundle binary extensions and dlls into the library-archive or the executable itself. This allows to finally build real single-file executables. The bundled dlls and pyds are loaded at runtime by some special code that emulates the Windows LoadLibrary function - they are never unpacked to the file system. This part of the code is distributed under the MPL 1.1, so this license is now pulled in by py2exe. * By default py2exe now includes the codecs module and the encodings package. * Several other fixes.

For more information and directions, see http://www.baypiggies.net/ Before the meeting, we sometimes meet at 6pm for dinner. Discussion of dinner plans is handled on the BayPIGgies mailing list. Advance notice: We've got some options on the plate for November 10 but haven't settled anything yet. Please send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you want to suggest an agenda (or volunteer to give a presentation). The meeting agenda for December 8 has been set. -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) * http://www.pythoncraft.com/ The way to build large Python applications is to componentize and loosely-couple the hell out of everything. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html
