Jython 2.5.0 Final is out!

2009-06-17 Thread Frank Wierzbicki
On behalf of the Jython development team, I'm pleased to announce that
Jython 2.5.0 final is available for download:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/jython/jython_installer-2.5.0.jar see
the installation instructions:
http://wiki.python.org/jython/InstallationInstructions

Jython 2.5.0 brings us up to language level compatibility with the 2.5
version of CPython.  This release has had a strong focus on CPython
compatibility, and so this release of Jython can run more pure Python
apps then any previous release.  Please see the NEWS file for detailed
release notes.

I want to thank all of the amazing people who have contributed in
large and small ways to this important Jython release.  For the first
time in a long time we have Jython that is a modern version of Python.
 Enjoy!

Please report any bugs that you find: http://bugs.jython.org

Thanks!

-Frank

[ANN] first full alpha release of PyLab_Works v0.3

2009-06-17 Thread Stef Mientki

hello,

I am pleased to announce the first full alpha release of PyLab_Works, v0.3.

PyLab_Works is a modular Visual Development Environment, based on 
data-flow programming technics. PyLab_Works is specially aimed at 
Education, Engineering and Science. The ideas behind PyLab_Works are, 
that the final user should not be burdened with programming details and 
domain details, whereas the domain expert should be able to implement 
the specific  domain knowledge without being a full educated programmer.


You can always find my notes on PyLab_Works on
  http://pic.flappie.nl
Most of these pages are also collected in a single pdf document, which 
can be found here:

 http://pylab-works.googlecode.com/files/pw_manual.pdf

The source code and a one-button-Windows-Installer can be found on 
codegoogle:

 http://code.google.com/p/pylab-works/
The files are rather large, because they contain some data samples.
The Windows-Installer contains everything you need to get started with 
PyLab_Works: ConfigObj, gprof2dot, HTTPlib, MatPlotLib, Numpy, Pickle,  
Psyco, pyclbr, PyGame, PyLab_Works, PyODBC, Python, RLCompleter, Scipy, 
Sendkeys, SQLite3, SQLObject, URLparse, wave, Visual, win32*, wxPython. 
Although the PyLab_Works programs are compiled with Py2Exe, all the 
source files are explicitly included.


have fun,
Stef Mientki

and
general toolkit for working with PostgreSQL in Python.

Changes in 0.9:

 * Performance Improvements. Always nice. =)
 * Query Libraries--statement management.
 * Display of line and relative location of the POSITION for syntax
errors.

ANN: pdfrecycle 0.05

2009-06-17 Thread Florian Diesch

I'm happy to announce pdfrecycle 0.05

Get it at http://www.florian-diesch.de/software/pdfrecycle/


pdfrecycle creates a PDF file by composing pages from other PDF
files. It can add PDF bookmarks and metadata, scale, rotate and crop
pages and put multiple logical pages onto each physical sheet.

pdfrecycle uses a simple text file format to define the layout and
what pages to include. From this input file pdfrecycle creates a LaTeX
file and then runs pdflatex to produced the PDF file.


With version 0.05 you can put pages of different input files on one
output sheet and/or cut of parts of input pages.
