[ANN] PyInstaller 3.2

2016-05-04 Thread Hartmut Goebel
Hello,

on behalf of the PyInstaller development team I'm happy to announce
PyInstaller 3.2

   http://www.pyinstaller.org


Thanks for all those who contributed questions, bug-reports or
pull-requests.


=== What it is ===

PyInstaller bundles a Python application and all its dependencies into a
single package. The user can run the packaged app without installing a
Python interpreter or any modules.

PyInstaller reads a Python script written by you. It analyzes your code to
discover every other module and library your script needs in order to
execute.
Then it collects copies of all those files – including the active Python
interpreter! – and puts them with your script in a single folder, or
optionally in a single executable file.

PyInstaller is tested against Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. However, it
is not a cross-compiler: to make a Windows app you run PyInstaller in
Windows; to make a Linux app you run it in Linux, etc. PyInstaller has
been used successfully with AIX, Solaris, and FreeBSD, but is not tested
against them.

=== Installation ===

PyInstaller can be installed from PyPi using

   pip install pyinstaller

=== Changes ===

- Even the "main" script is now byte-compiled (#1847, #1856)
- The manual is on readthedocs.io now (#1578)
- On installation try to compile the bootloader if there is none for
  the current platform (#1377)

- Lots of new, fixed or enhanced hooks.
- Many bug fixes and internal enhancements.


The full changelog for this release can be found at:

=== Feedback ===

We're eager to listen to your feedback on using PyInstaller:

ANN: unicode 2.2

2016-05-04 Thread garabik-news-2005-05
unicode is a simple python command line utility that displays
properties for a given unicode character, or searches
unicode database for a given name.

It was written with Linux in mind, but should work almost everywhere
(including MS Windows and MacOSX), UTF-8 console is recommended.

ANN: Lea 2.2.0

2016-05-04 Thread Pierre Denis
Lea 2.2.0 is now released!

What is Lea?

Lea is a Python package aiming at working with discrete probability
distributions in an intuitive way. It allows you to model a broad range of
random phenomenons, like dice throwing, coin tossing, gambling, finance,
weather, etc. It offers high-level modeling features for probabilistic
programming and bayesian inference. Lea has several original features: the
storage of probabilities as integer weights, an inference algorithm that
produces *exact* results and a strong emphasis on ease-of-use. Lea is
lightweight, open-source (LGPL) and pure Python, with support of versions 2
and 3). See project page below for installation, tutorials, examples, etc.

What's new in Lea 2.2.0?

Compared to latest version (2.1.2), many things have been made to improve
ease-of-use and overall performance. Maybe one of the most notable feature
is that you can now get individual probabilities very easily, as a fraction
or float, thanks to the new 'P' and 'Pf' functions. Here are some examples
that you can type in your Python console:

>>> P(dice <= 5)
5/18
>>> Pf(dice <= 5)
0.2778
>>> P(rain.given(grassWet))
891/2491
>>> Pf(rain.given(grassWet))
0.3576876756322762

Other new features include:
- build joint probability distributions from CSV files or Pandas dataframes
- pmf histograms using matplotlib
- Monte-Carlo sampling estimation
- multi-arguments 'given' method (ANDing of evidences)
- likelihood ratio
- extended 'draw' method: with/without sorting, with/without replacement
- machine learning (experimental)
- built-in functions and distributions for games
- various optimizations

Most of the new features are documented in a new tutorial on Lea's wiki
(http://bitbucket.org/piedenis/lea/wiki/LeaPyTutorial3).

Thanks to all of you for this large bunch of feedbacks, encouragements and
suggestions! In particular, the present version owes much to Paul Moore, who
made important contributions; among other things, Paul fixed the
installation procedure, set up a test suite using the Tox tool and created
an efficient algorithm for calculating probability distribution resulting
from a drawing process. Thanks Paul for making the package more mature!

With the hope that Lea can make your joy less random,
