Hi all,
Following a release the other day, there is a new release of the
SalStat Statistics Package written in Python with wxPython, Numeric
and SciPY.
>From the website (http://salstat.sunsite.dk), there is a source
download (http://salstat.sunsite.dk/salstat.20030227.zip - 439k) which
needs Python, wxPython, Numeric, SciPy (and I believe PIL) to be
installed. For Windows users, there is a self-installing executable
made with the McMillan installer and the Inno installer (thanks to the
guys who wrote these!) available from
http://salstat.sunsite.dk/salstat.20030227.setup.exe (7.78MB).
This version allows chi square tests (observed in the first column,
expected in the second column of the 2 condition test dialog), better
graphs (thanks to SciPy plt function), and the interface has been
spruced up a bit more. It loads ASCII files generally well, but don't
leave too many blank spaces where there should be missing data.
Thanks to all who have helped in one way or another. The next version
should features multi-factorial anova with simple and main effects
easily accessible from the interface (no syntax files needed!).
Feedback is requested regarding test accuracy and interface
experience. Please fire (not flame!) away as I have had little
feedback about the interface lately (either I'm doing something very
right, or very wrong indeed!)
Have fun!

leo.py 3.11 beta 3 is now available at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/leo/
leo.py requires Python 2.1 or above and tcl/tk 8.3 or above.
leo.py will work on Linux, Windows and MacOs X Jaguar.
Just about everyone who has ever reported problems with how Leo handles
non-ascii characters is now satisfied with Leo. Beta 3:
- Fixes some unicode problems when the system encoding is not "utf-8".
- Adds the tk_encoding setting.
- Fixes some minor bugs in the Outline To Noweb command.
For all other details, see below.
The highlights of 3.11:
-----------------------
** Leo finally supports unicode properly. This solves a lot of problems.
- New @encoding directives specifies encoding for derived files.
- New settings specify default encodings for .leo and derived files.
- Derived files specify encodings used to create them.
** A new plugin architecture for customizing Leo. (A major improvement.)
- New commands:
- Toggle Angle Brackets.
- Insert Time/Date (in headline or body text).
- Go To First/Last Node, Parent, Next/Previous Sibling.
- Write Missing @file Nodes.
- Expand/Contract Node.
- Improved commands:
- Expand/Contract commands now operate on the selected tree.
( A major improvement)
- Sort Siblings command can now sort top-level nodes.
- Leo now allows multiple writes of cloned nodes.
(Useful when different @path directives are in effect.)
- Other improvements:
- Improved syntax coloring for html and xml.
- Leo scrolls partially visible headlines into full view.
- Added "Replace tabs with spaces" checkbox in Prefs panel.
- Added install script for Linux.
- New settings in leoConfig.leo/.txt.
- Colors for Show Invisibles command and body_insertion_cursor
- Settings affecting when control-drags start.
- Defaults for unicode (see above).
- Many other bug fixes and improvements.
Quote of the month
------------------
I only have one week of Leo experience but I already know it will be my
default
IDE/project manager. I have seen several old threads on c.l.python where
people
complain about the lack of a project manager for the free/standard Python
IDE's
like Idle. Leo clearly solves that problem and in a way that commercial
tools
can't touch -- Marshall Parsons
What is Leo?
------------
- A programmer's editor, an outlining editor and a flexible browser.
- A literate programming tool, compatible with noweb and CWEB.
- A data organizer and project manager. Leo provides multiple views
of projects within a single outline.
- Fully scriptable using Python. Leo saves its files in XML format.
- Portable. leo.py is 100% pure Python.
- Open Software, distributed under the Python License.

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 richard(a)users.sourceforge.net.
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 2.1+ 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 six database back-ends (anydbm, bsddb, bsddb3, sqlite,
metakit and gadfly).
A new release of PyReverse is now available. This is mainly a bug fix
release
What's new ?
------------
* add the missing pyvcg script which was breaking installation to the
package distribution
* fix two bugs which were making PyReverse choking on some modules
* add the --init-only option on pyargo, pyvcg and py2xmi
* new way to find non standard module in pystats
What's pyreverse ?
------------------------
Pyreverse is a set of utilities to reverse enginering Python code.
It uses a representation of a Python project in a class hierarchy which can be
used to extract any information (such as generating UML diagrams and make a few
statistics from the Python code, as pyargo and pystats)

I'd like to announce the fourth release of PythonCAD, a CAD package
for open-source software users. As the name implies, PythonCAD is
written entirely in Python. The goal of this project is to create
a fully scriptable drafting program that will match and eventually
exceed features found in commercial CAD software. PythonCAD is released
under the GNU Public License (GPL).
PythonCAD requires Python 2.2. The interface is GTK 2.0 based,
and uses the PyGTK module for interfacing to GTK. The design of
PythonCAD is built around the idea of separating the interface
from the back end as much as possible. By doing this, it is hoped
that both GNOME and KDE interfaces can be added to PythonCAD through
usage of the appropriate Python module. Addition of other interfaces
will depend on the availability of a Python module for that particular
interface and developer interest and action.
The fourth release has major improvements in dimensioning. Angular dimensions
are now available, and linear dimensions will be displayed. There is also
more visual feedback when creating any dimension, and the display of
the dimension text has been improved. Check out the new screenshots on the
PythonCAD screenshot page showing these changes. There is more visual
feedback when creating arcs now, and various other user interface elements
have been improved. The usual assortment of bug fixes and code improvements
are added, and although not seen directly when using the program, these
changes have increased the stability and robustness of PythonCAD. More
routines have had been documented, and many routines have been updated
to current code standards.
This release coincides with providing read-only access to the PythonCAD
Subversion repository. Subversion is similar to CVS, but is aiming
to be the successor to that program. By making the repository available
to everyone, it is hoped that downloading and developing PythonCAD will
be simpler for more developers and users, and will increase the speed of
PythonCAD development. Details about downloading PythonCAD with Subversion
are found on the PythonCAD web site. For more details about Subversion,
go to the program's home page:
http://subversion.tigris.org
Visit the PythonCAD web site for more information about what PythonCAD
does and aims to be:

Come and join me in developing PythonCAD into a world class drafting
program!
