Hi all,

I'm happy to announce the release of Sphinx 1.0.6, a bug-fix release
in the 1.0 series, fixing a number of bugs and regressions in the 1.0
line of releases.

What is it?

documentation for Python projects (or other documents consisting of
multiple reStructuredText source files).

Website: http://sphinx.pocoo.org/

What's new in 1.0 (very short version)?
===

Lots of stuff; most important of all domains support (see blog post at
http://pythonic.pocoo.org/2009/9/12/new-in-sphinx-1-0-domains), new HTML
themes, new output formats (manpage, epub).

The full list is at .


cheers,
Georg

JSONBOT 0.6 RELEASED

[Bart Thate]

Hello world and the best wishes for 2011 for all of you !

i'm pleased to announce version 0.6 of JSONBOT, a release that saw
it's complete codebase refactored. Things have moved into their own
package, making it easier to distribute JSONBOT to the various OS
around. I even renamed the name of the distribution to "jsb", so use
the jsb-0.6.tar.gz or "easy_install jsb" to get this version of
JSONBOT.

So once again i need to ask existing users to upgrade their JSONBOT
install, see http://jsonbot.appspot.com/docs/html/handbook/UPGRADE.html
for instructions on how to do that.

Functionality of the bot is the same as 0.5.

For more information on JSONBOT, see http://jsonbot.googlecode.com or
join us on #dunkbots Freenode.

Bot documentation and demo is on http://jsonbot.appspot.com

I hope you enjoy this release of JSONBOT, i'm glad i can start working
on 0.7 ;]

About JSONBOT:

JSONBOT is a remote event-driven framework for building bots that talk
JSON
to each other over XMPP.

This distribution provides bots built on this framework for console,
IRC,
XMPP for the shell and WWW and XMPP for the Google Application engine.

JSONBOT is all of the following:

* a shell console bot
* a shell IRC bot
* a shell XMPP bot
* a Web bot running on Google Application Engine
* a XMPP bot running on Google Application Engine
* a Google Wave bot running op Google Application Engine
* the XMPP bots are used to communicate between bots
* plugin infrastructure to write your own functionality
* event driven framework by the use of callbacks

ANN: elffile-0.001

[K. Richard Pixley]

Announcing the first release of elffile!

Elffile is a pure python implementation of a library which reads and 
writes ELF format object files


Current features:

* Elffile is pure python so installation is easy.
* Elffile has been tested on python versions 2.[67] and 3.[012].
* Reads both 32 and 64 bit formats in both big and little endian order.
* Reads and writes file header, section header table, sections, and the
  section name string section.
* Reads program header table.

This is sufficient to compare two object files to determine if they are 
equivalent aside from having been built at different times and in 
different file system locations which was my initial goal.

Announce: Linux Desktop Testing Project (LDTP) 2.1.0 released

[Nagappan Alagappan]

Hello,

About LDTP:

Linux Desktop Testing Project is aimed at producing high quality test
automation framework (using GNOME / Python) and cutting-edge tools that can
be used to test Linux Desktop and improve it. It uses the Accessibility
libraries to poke through the application's user interface. We strive to
help in building a quality desktop.

Changes in this release:

Added documentation files from LDTPv1 and updated accordingly
Search object name as unicode character and mutliline
Print Unicode exception, instead of string. Printing string fails, if
non-ascii strings are in exception string

Performance improvement:

When looking for object inside a window without any delay, utilize all the
CPU, just delay the lookup every 2 seconds
Don't force remap on gechild, getobjectlist, getobjectproperty, unless the
window object is changed, as this utilizes more CPU

New API:

getmax - Get max value of spin button
getmin - Get min value of spin button
startlog - Start logging to file
stoplog - Stop logging to file
startprocessmonitor - Start monitoring the given process
stopprocessmonitor - Stop monitoring the given process
getcpustat - Get the current CPU statistics of the given process
getmemorystat - Get the current memory statistics of the given process
registerkbevent - Register keyboard event
deregisterkbevent - De-Register keyboard event
getobjectnameatcoords - Get window / object name in LDTP format based on the
current mouse co-ordinates

Bugs fixed:
619575: Raise a more descriptive error when a child is not found
620343: setcellvalue is not implemented in LDTP2
624690: LDTP2.0.6 cannot type comma ', ' use function 'enterstring'
624678: Cannot identifiy some dialogs of OpenOffice3.2
635047: 'comboselect' doesn't work when specify component name listed in
'getobjectlist'
638229 - onwindowcreate fails with CannotSendRequest with python2.7
638226 - Missing import socket in ldtp/__init__.py
